There's the email hack where you can insert an image and check the server logs later to see if (and how many times) it was viewed. Its a hack, and not a feature, for a reason. :\

wow, 10 years. I've been using it for a couple of years now. But I do occasionally find it hard/difficult (from a mental POV), and I fall back on Fedora. I'll be a true *nix guy when I can stop doing that. :)

I'm surprised at how so many people are taking the list itself literally. If you're lucky enough, you might have found something REALLY interesting to do, which kept you motivated enough to keep learning new things as required until you bec

I guess you pretty much nailed it. :\ But by not-so-smart people, I just meant otherwise smart people who just don't WANT to understand how/why circles are different. Its like they're too tied to FB that they don't even want to hear good

Its FULL of Aha! moments. Everything you read, you already know, but your brain hadn't quite wrapped around it. So its all obvious, but still profound. I'm still 'Aha!'ing from reading the exponentiation. :)

not sure about mac, but other laptops are costlier in India. But Dell is definitely cheaper in the US. :( Conversion rate is about 1USD=50Rs. About 5-10% cheaper in the US. US: http://www.dell.com/us/p/laptops#facets=51795~0~11401827,135..
