Wow, that seems like something I was looking for! Thank you very much

I'd like to try to switch a browser, if I see a simple and cool sync-from-chrome (google account) feature. maybe I don't really need one, and maybe I can use some XML thingy for it, but I'm too lazy

I've written "We in Russia", but it won't allow me to post such big titles

I think that understanding of that this link is isn't as easy as recognizing a password. Everyone on the internet is used to passwords, but not to strange big links in email messages

the whole story seems pretty odd and odious. two giant corporations having a catfight, even a catfight on twitter I have no idea why would Microsoft "stole" results from anyone. their statistics research goes too far, but theft seems like a

money is a common "key" to many doors and solution for many problems. not every problem and not every door, of course, but if you can throw some cash on some annoying problem to get rid of it, it may be better solution than solving it with

Sublime Text is awesome, the main reason I was being stuck with Windows for a long time. But having to use bash and not wanting to pay a lot of money made me learn Emacs. How many people are willing to pay 59$ for a pretty simple (yet aweso

yes. i tried them but they weren't nearly as fast as I wanted. they were like cygwin in terms of perfomance and slowed down the whole old laptop of mine
