   If firefox would do full-text history searches, it'd be better. Solely on titles it's hard to find anything you might want.

   I see the appeal of this approach. Browser histories are nice in theory because you could search for what you want to revisit, but it never works very well. It'd be better to learn to develop a trigger happy bookmark finger. I still tr

   As I see it, you are talking more about exposure than choice. I agree having GNOME on the spotlights will draw people to it and stuff will get fixed and possibly better. Never liked Unity but didn't use it ever either. And having defau

   Here's something that would probably help lessen the confusion: don't allow or atleast warn about implicit conversions in binary floats in source code literals. float foo = 0.3; // warning: invalid binary float

   With "research" like "a glass of red equals to 30 minutes of exercise" and "beer may be the best recovery drink after physical activity" I think I have my exercise program in place!

   The United States of Europe would have been an apt name for the union, but understandably people wouldn't have bought the idea.

    I found out that my 3-year-old Moto G (1st gen) that has got a gradually weakened battery suddenly regained its long lasting charge when I performed spring cleaning on the system apps by disabling them. Disabling in this context means that

    Windows' approach is painful if you run it on slow HDDs like I did 15 years ago before switching to linux, full time.

    Usually companies make the money with the boring products and then they showcase their talent with superbly designed and not-all-around-versatile demos that make a loss. It's kinda neat that with Apple it might be exactly the reverse.

    On the other hand, xmonad has a remarkably well defined set of defaults so I for one am able to be very productive with them very well. My personal config provides stuff that I use maybe 3 % of the time.

    Came to say this. Vimperator cannot operate within constrained add-on sandboxes. Chromium already demonstrates how it works -- you get your vi keys on the page but as soon as you open a new tab and start entering your URL, nothing familiar

    It could be an extra level of security if they ran in userspace or in-between. But they usually have enormous permissions to operate and doesn't really count as a whole new layer.

    Wine has been good with the few Windows games that I play. (Dosbox with dos games is better, but it has been crashing way too often with certain titles.) Stuff works way better than in a VMWare box, games like Fallout, Jagged Alliance 2, GT

    Maintaining several wineprefixes is trivial too. The wineprefix describes where wine installs the "drive_c" and other stuff. So essentially it's the "chroot" of wine. It's of course more secure to do so in a VM

    LHR is just awful, strongly enforcing the stereotype of Britain being succumbed into Orwellian dystopy. Lucky me, JFK has always been very friendly with me. I do have a very trustable face, people tell me.
