What makes delicious so cool is that you don't need to make a complex hierarchy to organize your links: Instead, the program lets you slice 'em and dice 'em based on the tags: Just go to "del.icio.us/userid" and you can browse all your bookmarks.
Anyone tried Spurl or Furl? They seem very similar to del.icio.us. Any recommendations about which one to use?
I hate switching between the mouse/keyboard and browse most of the time with the keyboard only. Keyboard accessibility is very well thought out in Opera and with find links and spatial navigaton (shit+arrows) I can live a mostly mouse-free life and my hands are thankful for it.
It seems that SourceForge is actually using PayPal to handle the donations.
PayPal is available in 38 countries which is not few, but far from being ubiquitos.
In order to this business model be really successful there should be an international micropayment system which could be used easily by anyone on Earth.
As a solution, please just sell me the channels/shows I want to watch.
IMHO, pay-per-show is the way to go. It would be cheaper since I paid directly to the creators of a specific show, so popular shows would earn a lot of money even if they charge only a low fee for watching an episode. As long as they produce a quality show, their continuous revenue is guaranteed. There would be no need for commercials as we know them today.
And if ISPs too get a share of this revenue then net access could be given away for free, so that content providers can reach as many people as possible.
So, content providers would be forced to provide quality shows, since there is immediate feedback (no income) if they don't. ISPs would be motivated to provide quality net access, because their revenue was directly attached to the content providers' revenue.
Any interaction (malicious or otherwise) of a third party is noticable to the proper parties and the message/key transmission is just repeated until a clean send is achieved.
I wonder how governments will react to this thing. It has also military and governmental implications, since it makes "lawful interception" impossible.
Maybe you'll have to get a license for your quantum computer and its usage will be strictly controlled. I don't see why governments would give such a powerful tool into the hands of the average citizen (just think about their recent paranoia about terrorism).
Is there really a point in online petitions? Only a name and an email address is required and one can come up as many false names and free mail addresses as he wants to.
Why should Lucasfilm take this petition seriously? Is there any method to test the validity of the signatures?
I haven't seen the Debian installer for years. I just 'apt-get update'. I was satisfied with the text-based installer. If people choose the graphical one, I think they do it because they expect it to be more polished, more pleasant to look at. That was my point.

I wonder if VIM has them too.;)
Linux is not _good enough_

Is Linux Dead?

· Score: 1
The average user does not care what kind of operating system he or she uses. The user does not care about explorer or mozilla or whatever. The user only wants to get the job done. If s/he has a _good enough_ desktop environmnent with _good enough_ applications then s/he will use it.
As soon as (or should I say if) Linux reaches this _good_enough_ level, it can compete. If not then it is doomed to fail (on the desktop). It's that simple.

Writeboard does something like this.
And autoforward. Do the others offer this for free?
This is evil if true. As a part of the AOL-Google deal Google will add links to AOL content without labelling it as advertising.
some I miss particularly - ... the flash click to play thingee
Try this.
Why can't African states bootstrap?
Maybe because of the aid we're giving to them:
"For God's Sake, Please Stop the Aid!"
Or AutHotkey. It's free (GPL) and very versatile.

Don't forget to tune in at 8/7C for the start of Stargate SG1 and Atlantis as well! SciFi is running THREE FULL HOURS of rockin' new shows today!
Well, those times are not really convenient for us here in Europe (me in Hungary), but don't worry we'll tune in on BitTorrent tomorrow.
And I predict a blog post from Asa about how Firefox had this feature before Opera.
On Windows AutoHotkey is a great GPL automation tool. Anyone knows a similar tool for Linux with such capabilities?

One of BBSpot's tongue-in-cheek Top 11 Firefox extensions:

MajorityNow - Surfs while your computer is idle to increase the browser usage stats for Firefox.
Should not be too hard to implement.

I took a look at the screenshots, and the dialogs don't seem very polished. They should hire GUI designer or something.

Now we only need a Microsoft File Format Connector so that Linux becomes a viable alternative on the desktop.
