  1. multitasking in a terminal on (Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Quite a handy way to switch between several applications on a single terminal: Ctrl+Z stops the current program, then bg to resume it and send to background, fg to resume in foreground. You can have several stopped programs and pick one with fg 3, for example. See all stopped jobs with jobs.

    Few things to note, wget still prints to STDOUT, even when backgrounded, so I run it in screen. Also, pico may require a -z switch to allow suspension.

  2. Re:Is it "free" or is it "open source"? on Russia Mandates Free Software For Public Schools · · Score: 5, Informative

    The automated translation did not distinguish the exact meaning of "free" in that sentence. The word used in the russian article was "svobodnovo", which means free as in liberty. Free as in beer would have been "bezplatnovo" - literally "payless".

    From firefox help:

    It is windows only.
    A relief, kinda..

    But do you often take your desktop PC out for coffee?

    I personally don't. But these guys do ,)

  8. Re:Server on Google Open Sources Browser Sync · · Score: 3, Informative

    Have a look at Passhash add-on for firefox. You only need to remember a single strong master password; the add-on generates different passwords for each site, according to their URL (or site tag).
    In cases where the add-on is not locally available, there is a static html page with javascript with the same functionality, that you can host on your home server.

  9. In other words on VW Concept Microcar Gets 235 MPG · · Score: 5, Informative

    It weighs 300 kilograms, and the dimensions are 3.47x1.25x1 meters. With that, it would qualify for a microcar class. In some places you wouldn't even need a licence to drive it..

  10. Re:Congrats on breaking the non-existent record on Firefox Breaks 8 Million, Gets Into Guinness · · Score: 1

    Here is a list of downloads per capita that were counted in the record. I was also looking for this just to check the number for Lithuania. That just looks incredible. Anyway, congrats! :)

  12. The cube wasn't enough on 4D Analogue of Megaminx Puzzle · · Score: 1

    My brain is oficially in pain now.

  13. Re:Why just cellphones? on Body Heat Could Charge Your Cellphone · · Score: 1

    Even better, one for both, CPU and GPU of a laptop, so at least some of the energy wasted both on heat and ventilation could be regained.

  14. Re:One way to get it back.... on Experience with Fighting Domain Farming · · Score: 1

    Are you implying it's bad to live in Estonia because they lack blacks?
    You do have a newsletter i could subscribe to, right?

  16. Re:obvious on Rare Soviet Retro-Future Space Art · · Score: 2, Interesting

    > The present was so much cooler in the past... This reminded me of one gallery with soviet architecture - colossal projects that were never built. http://www.muar.ru/ve/2003/moscow/03e.htm - not really space art but very retro-futuristic nevertheless.

  17. Re:Macs are not replacing Windows PCs on Apple's Missed Opportunity With Leopard Delay · · Score: 2, Informative

    How long is it going to take for OSX to get multiple desktops? probably until leopard. http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/spaces.html
  18. Re:Of course it's all about the verbs on The Evolution of Language · · Score: 1

    Russian. there are quite a few words equivalent to 'fuck' in weight, which allows for some pretty amusing multi-word constructs.

  19. road plane on Fairly Realistic Flying Car Offered for 2009 Delivery · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of SkyCar http://www.moller.com/ Though these types of 'cars' look like attempts to make private planes road-legal. I was expecting something more along the lines of hovercraft this time...

  20. it's a good idea in all on Corporate Encouragement For Sharing Your WiFi · · Score: 1

    makes me think there should be a catch. what if your line eventually became saturated by the traffic from the wifi router (if you are located in some popular place), wouldn't you think of upgrading your connection plan?

  21. Re:What about GIMP for cartoonists? on GIMP 2 for Photographers · · Score: 1

    I suppose it really depends on preference, but it is really convenient to vectorize the pencil sketch first; straightening the lines is easier in vector, and, unlike in raster, you can colour whole areas without having to deal with blurry pixels near the lines.

  23. Re:My $0.98 with of MP3.. .err.. comment on Amazon Invests In Dynamic Pricing Model For MP3s · · Score: 1

    I think the idea is good as it is. It is logical for a starter artist to earn less and get more exposure because of the low price. Later on, if the music is well received, popularity would rise along with his income.

  24. Re:Opposite effect? on Firefox Lite And Old PCs Could Crush IE · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well you could use online bookmarking services like del.icio.us or mybookmarks...

  25. Re:suck it firefox on Yahoo! XSS Flaw Endangers its Users · · Score: 1

    Then use safari. It uses the Webkit rendering engine which is based on Konqueror (HTML) and KDE's kjs (javascript). Even ported to windows, in case you're using them.
