  1. Re:Good luck with corporate destkops! on Norwegian Websites Declare War On IE 6 · · Score: 1

    Actually finn.no is a lot more like craigslist than ebay.

  2. Re:Git + Eclipse on Git Adoption Soaring; Are There Good Migration Strategies? · · Score: 2, Informative

    When using git with Eclipse I've found it to be most useful to use the git plug-in, but use the command line for actual git action. The plug-in displays useful information about file changes and branches, while the command line offers quick, clean and expressive execution of git commands.

  3. Re:Interaction paradigms depend on physical interf on Adventure Game Interfaces and Puzzle Theory · · Score: 1

    A 8-directional menu, with several steps/layers would make all the choices in NetHack somewhat manageble. Use d-pad to point, and a, or something to choose.

  4. Re:Look at POV-Ray. on Best Introduction To Programming For Bright 11-14-Year-Olds? · · Score: 1

    You were lucky! We didn't even have a TV! We had to get up half an hour before we when to bed, clean the pond, eat a bucket of freezing gravel and we got cut in half by our father when we came home.

    I wish I hadn't spent all my mod points on that other thread. Mod parent up!

  6. Re:It's all a joke on PHP Gets Namespace Separators, With a Twist · · Score: 1

    According to Wikipedia, the circumflex accent is "used in written Croatian, Esperanto, French, Frisian, Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Vietnamese, Romanized Japanese, Romanized Persian, Welsh, Portuguese, Italian, Afrikaans, Turkish and other languages".

    I don't know the keyboard layouts used by all of them, but I'd bet most (if not all) of them use a dead key for both the caret and the circumflex rather than including additional keys, and Portuguese and French have a reasonable number of speakers.

    On a Norwegian keyboard hitting the caret one time gives you a dead key, the second time it gives you two carets. As does all the other dead keys.

  7. Re:Stability on Linux? on Firefox 3 RC1 Out Now · · Score: 1

    I agree. I had the same problem with gmail. Disabled Firebug (a beta (or was it alpha?) to make it run on FF3beta5) and i could send emails again.

    http://yubnub.org/ is sort of like a command line for the web.
