Be warned, though, that these do not work inside of a tmux session without special steps being taken. I believe that they work in screen, but tmux requires some additional work.

Well, that was certainly the safer choice. Francis is an interesting figure so far, but he hasn't caused -- yet, anyway -- worldwide changes in the political dialogue like Snowden has. Time, though, went with a choice that doesn't

He goddamn well better be. The most recent non-ad initiatives they have done have been shit. Glass is nothing bit nerd porn, and Android has made more money for Samsung and Microsoft than Google. So yeah, it'd be nice to see some focus

This is flatly incorrect. 1) Property. If you have a monopoly on the property in a given area you can charge whatever you want for rent, and no competition will be around to add competition. 2) Vertical monopolies. If your company buys out

I don't know where to start. 1) Monopolies can and do happen in the absence of regulation. Indeed, it is frequently only through regulation or direct governmental action that competition can be encouraged. (The breakup of the AT&T

That does not address the imbalance of influence moderators have. Also, asking some 1+ million subscribers to switch is inefficient when a process could be implemented which addresses community concerns.

Fair share? Abuse? It is a criticism made against a corporation. It deserves scrutiny and a critical eye whenever it fails, regardless of what it's competitors do. I hate to say it because I abhor the word, but this reeks of fanboyism.
