This strikes me as a terrible hack. Yes, I've run into all of the problems this is trying to solve, but if this is what is necessary to fix them, I rather build my packages from source (or use *BSD and ports/pkgsrc).

The Nostalgia for Infinity was ~4km in length. She rode the spinal trunk, the four-kilometre-long shaft which threaded the entire length of the ship. She had boarded somewhere near the nominal top of the shaft (there were only 1050 levels

A couple points: * !RC4 - RC4 is in doubt[1]. The only reason to keep it around was to mitigate the BEAST attack, which is now mitigated[2] client side, so RC4 should be dropped. * gzip off; - Explicitly disable gzip compression to avoid B

Except the identity part is well and truly fucked and in serious need of redoing. It relies on trusted CAs, which has been shown is a bad idea, because some of the trusted CAs mismanaged their private keys or have been paid to or been coerc

Apple Mail, because it's nicely integrated, just works and there's a neat GPG plugin. I have no use for webmail interfaces, I'd rather use mutt in a shell than those. Especially not Gmail, as every time I look at it, some oth

Not at all the same as mugging people. Better comparison: Free candy. YouTube is a bowl of free candy sitting in a public place with a big "free candy" sign posted next to it. Each candy has a flyer for some product attached to it

Of course not. I wanted to play a game, not file a bug report. If there was a dead simple way to do so, perhaps I would have. However, the way this usually works, is this: - Google "freeciv bug report" - Find a wiki page with a li

That's a problem they will need to solve, not I. My problem (ads) is solved by blocking them. I know for a fact that there are ways to monetize content that do work on me, advertising is just not one of them. To name just one example,

I haven't either and was wondering if it was that or Glimmerblocker. If I did see video ads, I'd rather just close the tab than suffer through them. That is by the way in everyone's best interest, especially the advertisers.

I wonder if the UI issues on Windows were fixed. I played this a few months ago and it was pretty awkward, with the message dialogue stealing focus and multiple issues in fullscreen/maximized mode.

When you click on a .doc file in the Dropbox web interface, you get a preview of the file in PDF format. To do this, Dropbox must open and convert the file. LibreOffice is popular for this, as it can be run in a headless API mode, reads a w

I've recently gotten interested in this and have built my own aeroponics tank from a cheap plastic storage box and an ultrasonic fogger (together below $15, but nutrient and pH/TDS meters add a bit more to it). It's a fun exp

Another thing Second Life got very right was the use of spatialized voice chat. That means you're not just able to look out of your avatars eyes and see who's in the room and who is currently talking (WebEx or Skype can do those),
