"Mouse usage is obligatory. You cannot use the acme editor, for instance, without frequently taking your hand off the keyboard." - in my opinion this is a disadvantage and I wonder if this can be improved and if so, in which way.

Thanks for your long post. That is really scary! I will still try to get Skype constrained with apparmor. At least I will know that it will not siphon the data through the file interface. I am wondering if Wayland will be more secure by des

by reirob 12y ago
I agree that it is impossible to completely secure Skype because of X11. And I need as well for some calls the screen sharing feature. So for me this is a wanted feature. But I would appreciate if I knew that Skype is _not_ able to access m

by reirob 12y ago
Absolutely agree! It's even more true for closed source software like Skype - to be able to prevent it from accessing to data it doesn't have to. I know there are many alternatives to Skype, but there are people that have to use i

I tried T440s exactly for 3 days and sent it back! Lenovo just screwed their trackpoint/trackpad experience (and part of keyboard as well). The virtual buttons do not work on Linux out of the box. Had to buy a refurbished T430s, with w

Agree, had to use it extensively several years ago, it saved me so much time. But even then the development seemed to have stopped on this tool.

How about yi ( https://github.com/yi-editor/yi )? I hope some day an editor, written in Haskell, allowing to emulate Vi and and Emacs behaviour will become more appropriate for Haskell programming than any other editor a

I can't give you the requested example as I am living in Europe ;-) But what I mean seems to be more of a general rule. The richer you are the better choices you have to spend money on products that appeal to you, because your consumpt

"if you are living here then you are consuming here" - it strikes me that, the more you are poor the more you are bound to consume local. The richer you are the more choice you have where to consume (or where to invest, at some po

Thanks for your detailed answer. So anybody living in Catalonia, with Spanish nationality will be able to vote. What about native Catalans living outside of Catalonia?
287.
by reirob 12y ago
How does it technically work to distinguish Catalans from Spaniards? Do you have in your passport a distinct nationality? Or do you have to prove that you live in Catalonia? Or is there another way to make sure that only Catalans vote?

In deed almost incredible! Especially considering that during the same time in the Soviet Union speaking German was not forbidden (though it was not well seen by Russians).

That's a great idea to have a minimal POSIX distribution/environment, which contains only POSIX commands and functions (as well for portable C program testing). Is there something like this around?

This Skype use case really interests me a lot, as I have to use it professionally and do not trust this application at all and would like to limit it to a bare minimum: microphone, webcam, screen and one single folder for file exchange. I n

Would be interesting to see a model to come up with such numbers. And it would as well be interesting how in such a model the nuclear waste is taken into account, especially the one that risks to pollute some day in the future. Such models

Another cost that you don't mention is the cost of waste disposal. As far as I am informed no single country has yet found a safe, clean and cost-effective solution for nuclear waste disposal (correct me if I'm wrong here). If tha
