I had severe problems with flux under Ubuntu so I switched to redshift: http://jonls.dk/redshift/ Everybody should try a program like this, during the night/evening it is so much better then the normal color configuration!

For this kind of stuff there should be a way to flag a submission as 'sensationalist title' or 'likely false'. I just don't have the time to read all the comments for all submission just to find out if the submission is true or not.

I know of one mountainbike forum which from time to time put interviews with famous users (for example because of very good riding video, etc) on the main page. I think this is a good opportunity for good riders to find sponsors and so on.

In a first step you really have to find out _why_ you are wasting time! I thought for a long time that I am kind of addicted to the internet and that this is the reason I am wasting a lot of time there. Over the years I tried a lot of stuff

It seems that I am one of those rare people that love the ribbon (at least in Word and Powerpoint). I don't know exactly why I like it, but after using the new Word/Powerpoint for just a few minutes I never want to switch back to the old me

Yes, profiles would be some kind of solution but I'd like to have something more dynamic where I create/delete/clone profiles/instances on the fly.

If I had one wish for future browsers, it it is: I wish there would be a good/convenient way to open several independent browser instances for different purposes. There should be a way to name each instance. For example at work I really wis

Thanks, that looks very interesting! I wish I would have used this years ago, but (un)fortunately I switched over to Python (and some C for extensions).

I use some kind of Hungarian notation in which I do not describe the type of a variable in its name but instead its unit . Since I do a lot of medical image processing I have to deal with a lot of different coordinate system. For example

> Stop looking for a cause Actually I stopped looking for the cause a few years ago because I found it ;) For me, finding the cause was very important, because for years I only knew what I did wrong but not why . I read a lot of book

I totally forgot about this: This whole military thing itself was just the result of procrastination. Getting in the military was not the problem. Not getting drawn and doing something alternative was just too much effort for me at that tim

"[...] therefore making the saying "just do it" or "suck it up" an appropiate response, which as you rightly discovered, got lost on modern parents" I had a discussion with my mother about this. To make a long story short she raised me this

I think there are some reasons for this: - I am always very lucky. Even if I put almost no effort in any kind of project it always comes out at least ok. - My bachelor course was more or less a joke. The description of the single classes al

This is not true for myself at all! Actually I think in my case all the stuff you read about procrastination does not really aplly to my procrastination: I think I am one of the worlds worst procastinators and it took me about 10 years to f

Yeah, I could, but such a laptop would not fit my favorite backpack ;) Actually I'd like to own a laptop with a 1400*1200 screen, because I spend a lot of time reading articles and don't care for width.

I'd like to see something similar: Lately I have thought about a filestorage like this which consists of two parts: 1) some kind of database in which you can put binary files and attach tags to them 2) a FUSE (?) driver which let's create d

Yeah, thinking of the exp() part as a spirals in three dimensional space (the imaginary plane + the time/space line) finally helped me to understand what's really going on with the Fourier transform.

No it's definitively not an outrageous amount of money. I have a 3 year old Thinkpad T61p with a still decent Core 2 Duo and 4 GB of ram. After three years it felt kind of slow so I had two options: 1) Buy a SSD for 250 Euro or 2) buy a com

Yes, in the worst case it's a full day of work, but your computer will be much faster for _every_ day afterwards so the invested day is more than worth it. Just give it a try, I'm 99% sure you will not regret it.

It might be a stupid question, but: Is there an example of a hyped "whatever killer" that actually killed "whatever"? I have the feeling that all those Google, Facebook, Microsoft, iPad/iPad/iPhone killer that sensationalist journalists ten

The grading system in Germany is quite complicated. We have one were 1 = "very good" (this is the classic system of Schulnoten which is used quite often) and one were 0 = "the worst". For more details have a look at Wikipedia: http://en.wi
