   I use something similar to that. I run Guake so that I always have quick access to a terminal. I have an alias set up called "idea" so that it opens a file called ideas.txt in Vim. As a side effect of opening the file up, rather than enter

   Interesting. I'm using Chrome 8.0.552.215 beta on Ubuntu 10.04. This is what I see when I visit the website: http://imgur.com/vKrLZ It appears to be a bug of some kind with the optimizelegibility property, although I don't know exactly w

   I've seen that before, but I found it disappointing that they limit the height to 10 ft above the ground. It also seems like it may have some problems flying in wind judging by their instructions for outdoor flight: http://www.youtube.com

   Strangely enough, it's not hyphenated in the source code, just placed within <em> tags. I wonder what's adding the hyphens. From my quick glance at it, nothing that I saw added hyphens.

   According to their FAQ: No. There's a constant average rate of new Bitcoins created, and that amount is divided among the nodes by the CPU power they use. When Bitcoins start having real exchange value, the competition for coin crea

    Off topic, but that's one of the oddest permalinks I've seen. Is that a uuid on the end of the url? Any particular reason why it's that format?

    HN uses a modified algorithm to calculate the ranking. PG posted it on a story somewhere, but I can't seem to find it right now. It takes the user's karma score into account in the ranking.

    What would you recommend for someone looking to get started with Qi-gong. The idea of moving meditation appeals to me more than sitting still all the time.

    I've always wanted a system like this, but I've never been disciplined enough to setup and consistently follow such a system, like you say. I've thought about wikis, and taking notes of things I read, but those things take too much effort t

    Check the usernames again. I am not sayrer, but he had an insightful comment worth linking to. Personally, I do prefer Chrome/Chromium, even though it uses more ram and cpu than firefox 3+.

    I currently have 72 tabs open. Yes, I am a tab addict and I need to go through and close/bookmark many of those tabs (and install a tab limiting extension). However, only a few of those a HN tabs. Many of them are stories linked to by HN. I

    Even if spammers aren't using old accounts, if something like that was implemented, spammers would just add sleep( n * 86400 ) to their bots. Once those n days were up, there would be yet another wave of spam.

    The main problem that I have with the Kindle is not the lack of lending. What I want more than anything for the Kindle is support for ePub books, including DRMed ePubs. The Kindle would be enormously useful to me if I could navigate to my l

    The main problem I had when I was learning Clojure was definitely finding good, up-to-date documentation about it. There were many times when I'd try an example that I had found online, only to find out that something had changed in Clojure
