  1. Re:Seriously. on Mozilla 1.8 Alpha Released · · Score: 1

    ummm, moz 1.6 does this.

  2. you want: a table with pros and cons of each distr on How Should One Review a Distribution? · · Score: 1

    you want a table like those at distrowatch,
    but that expands on the initial section, with (subjective) opinions on what each distribution excells at, has trouble with, is quirky about. in a tabel format so you can easily compare the major ones with each other.
    does anyone know where such a thing already exists?

  4. todo.txt as recommended at ETCON on Idea Management/Navigation Software? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    life hacks notes by cory doctorow (more at bottom)
    "It's the 10-second rule: if you can't file something in 10 seconds, you won't do it. Todo.txt involves cut-and-paste, the simplest interface we can imagine."
    "Power-users don't trust complicated apps. Every time power-geeks has had a crash, s/he moves away from it. You can't trust software unless you've written it -- and then you're just more forgiiving.
    Text files are portable (except for CRLF issues) between mac and win and *nix.
    Geeks will try the Brain, etc, but they want to stay in text."
