see git-stash(1). Does exactly that. shelve current work without committing it. I use it every day when somebody wants a bugfix in the branch I am working on, but can't commit yet.
Orkut is *very* popular in India. Everybody is on Orkut. To most of my friends (and relatives), if you are not on Orkut, then you dont exist. That they are doing the Internet equivalent of running around on the streets naked is lost on them.
There is only one difference between a geek/nerd and the normal person: curiosity. Nerds consider it a bug in themselves when they don't know something, anything.
Reminds me of the time I learnt to use Vi. I kept hitting keys and nothing would appear on screen. I noticed that sometimes letters would suddenly start appearing... I was hitting i (to insert).
The key to learning Linux (or anything else ) well is by experimentation.

So you are saying allowing people to use computers as computers makes them more useful?
Who wudda thunk it?

Thats because your xorg memory usage counts data coming from the every GUI program your computer is running.
Ideally they should be accounted for in the client's memory usage, but it isn't.

Just because somebody is not going for the funny mod does not mean he should not get it :)
This is just begging for a Roland Emmerich Movie.
I think its really sad that microsoft can basically ignore the existence of openoffice.org even after all these years.

Not on that computer, you can't
FreeNX only had a client, no server implementation.
I am using SneakerNet. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a portable harddisk in my pocket.
I just hope we are not on the road to this.

Why cant you people ever spell Gandhi correctly?
