I had a folder (*cough* I mean directory) named reports. Inside that folder (yeah, directory) I had a file named reports.php
I did this: vim reports [tab] [enter] expecting my shell to complete the filename and open it. (I forgot that the reports.php file was in the reports fo^H^H dir) What happened was that Vim said "reports is a directory" and showed me all this stuff... I thought I broke it! But the reality is that vim has a built in file browser. It's very handy! Try it!
PS yes I know that a directory is a file too along with everything else.........
it's one thing for the summary to add something extra to a story... but damn it was just false. I read the article looking for where they said G5+ only and it's just not there... that's the first time that happened to me. Guess I don't read slashdot enough these days. well I'm glad my G4 powerbook will be upgradeable... I think...
Quicksilver may not be a "search tool" per se... but it searches just fine. Beats spotlight hands down, and has nifty features like triggers. I'm not sure I will need more google in my life...
Who ever said open source software was created and/or used by angels? Or is the question whether people who code under the GPL are angels and the people who code under the BSD license are daemons?
"Every x86 Linux user, at least those willing to load binary software, can rejoice and no longer feel like a second rate citizen.

you ever notice how similar evolution is to outlook? I always thought it was odd to name a program evolution that did more to mimic another application than actually improve anything. I'm not sure I want to stop using it though... it is pretty handy to have all of that stuff bundled together in one app. I bet thats why microsoft has a patent somewhere that says they own the idea.
I love rails, don't get me wrong... But I think it's about time for people to see that ruby has more to offer than a great web dev framework. There's just so much! Glancing at the table of contents for this book gives you an idea:)
I wonder what the recent developments will mean for adiumx. The adiumx betas have been pretty nice but the builds are so huge because of debug stuff that I had to switch back to stable. I know adium uses libgaim so I hope that as gaim improves adium continues to as well

Beginning GIMP

This is one of the most useful times for those fluxbox tabs. of course it's not a solution but it does help if you can use fluxbox (I use fluxbox with X on my powerbook for that reason - which leads to my main gimp gripe - no native os x version! I'm tired of using X just to run gimp)

Gmail vs Pine
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I found that it was easier for me to configure mutt to do just that. I was actually using mutt and msmtp on my zaurus to read all the mail from my various accounts for a while. Then I decided I wanted to see graphics people sent me (without a separate app) so now I read my gmail with Mail.app;)
Why gmail at all? because I use it for mailing lists that are publicly archived anyway so I don't care if they read all of it. There's enough space for me to subscribe to 10+ mailing lists and never have to worry about filling my box. Plus if I want to search for something I know that I have my own private archive of all the mailing lists that I subscribe to.
They actually had a contest in their forums to choose a name. Also, you'll never find Joomla! in a linux app menu, it's a CMS, it runs in a web browser. Lastly, this isn't just a linux story, Joomla! (and Mambo for that matter) runs perfectly on BSD:)
For some reason it seems to me that using a device other than microphone is too much... why work so hard to go from one handheld device to another? I'm not advocating for brain implants (the ultimate in hands free computing), but voice control is a nice medium. Hands free + surgery free;) Complex key combos can be shortened to a word or two... no more RSI... plus it frees up both hands............
I use a combo of things to keep my mail in line. For my work and blog email I use IMAP since it's available. For my mailing lists I use gmail and pop it on my zaurus (running OpenBSD) via fetchmail, leaving messages on the server. This way gmail keeps a nice searchable archive for me, and thanks to procmail I have everything I decide to keep in folders on my zaurus. I can delete everything from my z if I want to and just keep items that are useful to me at the moment. I'm usually in a place where I can plug the z in and shell into it and use mutt from there (the cute little keyboard novelty wears off after about 10 minutes of reading mail). It might seem like extra work, but it's really convenient to have things on the pda so when I go I have the stuff in my pocket. Mutt handles my IMAP stuff well, and mstmtp is great for sending mail from multiple accounts (including gmail). After a while of hating the fact that I actually use 5 different email addresses, I've finally come to a point where it's managable. The best part is that I leave the pda fetching overnight so I can read the mail when I'm riding the subway to work in the morning.
I sent them a "not so nasty" email, and got the same response as above. I was about to post it here, actually. I knew that the reply came too fast... I got the automated reply, and then this came a few minutes later. Of course now I see it was another automated reply...
I'm still waiting for thunderbird to support vcard =/ Maybe one day http://vcard.mozdev.org/ will have some better news than " I had made some good progress long ago, but subsequently lost all the code in an accident, before having checked it in. "
I honestly never read the books, or even knew they existed before I saw the first commercial for the series. I watched it only because I had to see if it lived up to the hype. After 20 minutes I had to give up... the first shot of the landscape had me rolling on the floor laughing. I mean they could have used a real shot of a castle... there's a castle in Central Park here in NY they could have filmed, at least it would have been better than the horrible 3d drawing they used. I honestly thought they cut to a commercial for a cheesy video game or something.
Anyway, after reading what Le Guin wrote on slate I am actually motivated to read the books. I'm glad I decided to check slashdot today =)

I still wish there was something as simple and complete as FL Studio that was OSS. I'd love to not have to reboot.....
