  1. Devious by trevinofunk · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is one of the most devious things I've seen in a while! I love it!!. It reminds me of old shareware PC games, where you could hit the F9 key to escape to a DOS shell, so you wouln't get caught at work. Hugo's House of Horrors anyone?

      I always wondered what would be more suspicious,
      a game like rogue, or a dos prompt?

      There was one such game that had a boss mode which looked exactly like lotus 1-2-3 r2.2

  2. Linux efficiency by TheFlu · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I run WindowMaker on Linux and I hot-key the switch workspace command to ALT-1 (next workspace) and ALT-2 (previous workspace). It's extremely efficient to simply leave terminal windows and applications maximized in their own workspace and just hop between the screens when you need to switch to a different app. It's like tabbed browsing, once you get used to it, it's hard to go back to the old way.
