one thing that all colorschemes have in common: they don't highlight {[(,. etc. I like those highlighted. Is it possible in vim? I have authored a colorscheme but it was so basic that I cannot claim to know whether there's something in the

What makes me sad is that balsamiq spent 5 month of hard work to make $100000, and most internet marketers in the top tier need only launch an email to their list to get the same amount. No tech knowledge, no brilliance, no incredibly origi

THere's another solution. Don't use relational dbs, and use some other storage method based on RDF. There are lots of smart people working on making these as fast as possible, and while they will never be as fast as a relational database (f

Damn, when I thought that I spend more time tweaking knobs than playing music, something like Chuck appears... no! go away! I don't want to play with you and get hooked! I'm terribly unproductive with music, and this is just one more way of

I think the postcard makes sense to check identities because in Japan each family has a seal (Not trivial to replicate) and they 'sign' correspondence that way. Never been to Japan, I must have read it somewhere, so reader beware.

Sorry to be negative, but this is really old (2001 writeup). A lot of things have changed. For a good 'visual' example of semWeb in action, look at Reuter's openCalais project. Install the gnosis firefox plugin, and be amazed at the possibi

I wonder what Opera would be getting if they actually listened to their users. Plus, right now any site with fancy AJAX would have some rendering/performing problem under opera (most of google stuff does, not gmail though). So that's anothe
