    Finally! Someone who gets it! Thanks, dude!
    BTW, my own pet peeve is about the limitation for moving aerodynamic components - i.e. the ban on under-body suction fans and the like used to increase down-force in old Lotuses. Now that was damn safety feature if I ever saw one, why'd they get rid of it? Never mind. I don't want to know.

    Can't somebody blot on unrarlib to FUSE, archivemount style, and get it over with?

    Huuh? WTF? Is it just me, or does a fscking media player actually have a more advanced package management system than most FLOSS OSes?
    You hear that distro makers? The media guys are wiping the floor with you! You should take a hint or five from them.
    Disclamer: This is not a troll or flamebait post, I was just making a very shocked observation.

    Can't they implement rzip compression or something? OTF decompressor in JS, now that would be some serious geek cred...

    All my programs are like the requested snippets, but I can't be bothered to get an example.
    It would be TRULY fun if we told it to develop an airborne virus that causes an MDMA-like high — yey!, no more war and demographic problems, but we'll get a hell of an overpopulation problem...
    Meh, I'm still up for it, anyone else?
    BTW, by the same logic, can't we make it make a virus that does something useful? Hide quietly in cells HIV-style, without shitting them, and attack cancer cells, parasites, malicious bacteria, etc...

    sometimes FF thinks it's a valid URL, or goes to google, then redirects somewhere else. It's nice, but I don't know how to bypass it.

  19. Re:Freshmeat on Slashdot Keybindings, Dynamic Stories · · Score: 1

    It's not much more usable, but at least it's not (IMHO) less usable, also, it doesn't have an '80s look to it. Seriously, I don't mind the old /. coming back, but, damn it, learn about smoothing and gradients, WITHOUT wasting space like now. Jees, fluxbox does it better...

    BTW, a poster above offered CmdrTaco to create a read-only database account, export the interface, and let everybody else to take it from there, which I think is a fine idea. Better yet, make a NNTP/SVN/git interface.

    True, though I still get a feeling that requiring twice as many context switches for a graphical operation in comparison with Windows is eating up useful performance. Unless Unix sockets are user mode based, in which case you can ignore this post.
