Bah. It's what chrome on Android is doing now when I ask it to give me the link. Fixed it. Thanks! I had searched for it in the search bar at the bottom of the home screen, which opened it in a chrome window. If you tap the share icon

Emacs is a full IDE, not just a quick one-off editor. Its power comes from having everything scriptable from the ground up. Contrast this with the modern Extension concept, where there is a hard line between the editor's code and any c

It necessarily increases the concentration of power in the hands of the few. Some of you may recall a statement about power corrupting, etc. Just on the face of it: extending the idea of company towns to an entire _nation_ seems bad to me o

My son had no problem getting a beer with his meal at 15 in Munich. We were there, though, so it was supervised. It was also Radlers, so half beer, half soda.

Welcome to CD ownership! You should rip the music to a lossless format (e.g. FLAC) so you can play those and keep the CD from getting scratched. This will also so let you listen to it on computers (including cell phones). You can also trans

It's cool. If we ever meet in person, I'll buy you a beer and we can discuss Linux. :)

I am a huge fan and user of Linux. The problem is slapping Linux on some random bit of Windows kit and expecting it to work as though it had shipped with Linux, with support to back it. The more recent, the worse it will be. If you want to

I think fundamentally I disagree with your optimism. I've seen a number of these come and go over the decades. I do not think making something that looks like Windows would be sufficient to be successful. > you were assuming that I
