Thanks for your clojure work. I'm using a lot of your stuff and I am grateful you take the time to write and release it. "In the mean time, the link to package.el for Emacs 23 is right at the top of marmalade-repo.org: http://bit.ly/pkg-e

Sorry, you're right. I was confused by the ELPA page which lists instructions only for emacs 21 and 22, but says elpa will be included in the next version of Emacs. (edit: now I can't find where I read this. I'm incredibly confused.) Now

Ah, but now you're not following the instructions provided by swank clojure which says to use marmalade (which is an elpa extension/replacement/clone/additional repository?) The clojure-mode available through elpa ( clojure-mode 1.7.x) is n

I use Emacs for coding, wanderlust mail, rcirc and jabber-el. All which are provided as packages in the distros I run. I've been trying to get into clojure which entails installing clojure-mode, swank-clojure, leiningen (which brings the p

Why is the penny auction guy ashamed of his site? 100k registrations is pretty good I would think. Is there a reason he can't just focus on profiting on the auctions?

I'm not sure why this gets brought up with Dropbox. Of course it's possible to provide a service which only receives and stores encrypted data. At that point Dropbox would cease to exist. Half the posts about dropbox are lauding it for do

That confuses me. When the company buys back shares they don't just disappear, do they? With 1 million outstanding shares owning 50% of a company and the company buys back 500k, then there are 500k shares owning 25%. Why would those shar

No way would people from different campuses show up to 15 minute meeting. And they certainly would not take it seriously if we ended the meeting on a hard 15 minute limit. They'd have spent more time traveling than meeting. Sure we have n

Obama didn't apply for the prize and certainly didn't campaign to win it (Wanted to scale up the fighting in Afghanistan). Why should he change the way he behaves based on what a foreign prize committee decided to award him?

Slackware is great to learn on but, like Gentoo, I find myself turning knobs more often than I would like. I use Ubuntu and Debian to get work done. I rarely have an interest looking under the hood these days.

What the hell kind of story is this? The $300,000 is a perfectly reasonable coverage. Right now I have $250,000 per person and $500,000 per accident liability coverage and I find that to be perfectly reasonable. You can't even go over $50

I'm surprised at that mindset. The only thing a photo could do is disqualify you out of racism or ageism, or bump an unqualified person to the second round through attraction. What benefit does a company gain by knowing what an applicant l
