The default is 72, in my understanding, because of the historical use of email. As folks successively quote each other in a thread, the prepending of '>' to the quoted text requires something narrower than 80, else it'll hit the 80-char

I've been really enjoying sup -- http://sup.rubyforge.org/ -- in fact, that really wordy quote about five down is mine.

Funny, I was just referencing this issue the other day. When people ask me what I do, I say "computer stuff", and occasionally I'll lift my hands and kind of type at a non-existent keyboard. They invariably go "oh" -- to date, not one has s

Not working for me in Chrome or Firefox. It's like a Mac-only splinter of the Internet.

I've been looking for a decent mouseless wm for XP. The choices seem extremely limited.

Nope, just little blocks. Some interfaces display it as one solid dark monolith, some as empty squares, and a special few as festive little glyphs with mysterious markings inside. (XP SP2, every browser under the sun and then some.)

It's probably telling that I can't get the character to display properly in any interface... but whether of the practicality of the suggestion, or the level of my char-fu, I'm not sure.

I usually just wait for the RSS feed to re-announce it later on and remind me, but I like your method better. ;)

Can't really agree with the examples as provided. [Information in c:\danger\wipeout_test.reg has been successfully entered into the registry as a result of your accidentally hitting Enter in explorer.exe] "It gives the information without a

I use irssi (CLI Linux IRC client) for a ton of things -- it's basically my dashboard -- and have eventually hit upon the strategy of running an rbot (a Ruby infobot-alike by linuxbrit) and using its RSS plugin to monitor about 60 feeds in

This is a really useful trick. Does anyone know of an Oracle analog?

1) Read intro about how fucking awesome some document is. 2) Find link to the document; click link. 3) Error detected -- surely this loathesome-looking PDF isn't the fucking awesome document in question! 4) Hit back, re-parse intro looking

A few years ago, the girlfriend and I spent some time carefully building and configuring a MythTV box, which was fun. Then we proceeded to not actually watch any TV. 6 months later, when we realized we were only keeping the cable subscripti

Annoying and redundant. I often find myself clicking on a page to either force focus to that window, or to select text to act as a highlight so I can find my place easily later on. This means any accidental doubleclicks are launching new ta

RSS feed that sorts by age, not popularity. The current RSS feed is all sorts of chatty, showing me a ton of repeats. Its annoyance factor is about to eclipse its usefulness for me. If what I'm looking for already exists, I can't find it.
