  1. We don't vote people into office; we vote them out on The Worst Coders In Washington · · Score: 2, Informative
    This is an excellent page, the only problem is if you want to print the page and take it with you to the polls it's over 5 pages long.

    So I took the contents of the blog and created this page that allows you to filter the representatives of your particular state. Making it easy to take with you to the polls and stick it to your states representatives.

  2. Context Clicking is to UI what OO is to Procedural on OS X 10.1 Coming Today (Sorta) · · Score: 1

    Context Clicking is to the UI what OO is to Procedural Programming. With no contextual menus, you have to browse through a slew of menus which may or may not have any applicability to the object you're interested in manipulating. With context clicking you're immediately presenting with a menu pertaining directly to the object you're interested in. That's fantastic.

    I have a Titanium, which I'm very happy with except for the lack of a second mouse button. My god, there's a triple click for certain actions. How can you not have a second button, yet find triple clicking acceptable?

    Tenon came out with one of these for MacOS X Beta a while back. Tenon's MacOS X Beta X server

  4. Re:Java Exceptions on Why Linux Lovers Jilt Java · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think you'd want to throw a RuntimeException if you don't want to declare it in the throws, rather than an error, as that's supposed to be a fatal condition.

  5. Re:More neat DNS tricks on IP Tunneling Through Nameservers · · Score: 1

    dig @138.195.138.195 goret.org. axfr | grep '^c..\..*A' | sort | cut -b5-36 | perl -e 'while(<>){print pack("H32",$_)}' | gzip -d

    And now I see why it didn't come out right... ok, this one works (the '< and >' were being interpreted as HTML tags).

  6. Re:More neat DNS tricks on IP Tunneling Through Nameservers · · Score: 2

    That one didn't work for me exactly. It needed a little something in the while loop. After I added '' it worked great... here's my rendition:

    dig @138.195.138.195 goret.org. axfr | grep '^c..\..*A' | sort | cut -b5-36 | perl -e 'while(){print pack("H32",$_)}' | gzip -d

    Neat way of distributing, I must say. :)

    Well they did have to pay for all that R&D in the innovative cube design, right?
