> India has committed some horrible atrocities in the area, Not only is that an oversimplification, but it is also plain wrong at so many levels (but it is the lie that has been sp…

Sig sauers prominently featured in person of interest as well... Giving some leeway for the fact that it's a TV serial, there has to be some merit in the handgun for the protagonis…

Like the others, I too find the layout and info overview is neat. Good use-case demo of real-time information scraping of the sale. Also, like a few others, the "Perl" in your titl…

I agree. At least it takes "one" of the things out of the equation.

> The sad thing is, any one of them could have netted my loyalty and at a cheaper price overall if they were savvy at recruiting I just want to mention here, that he did say that h…

+1 for mentioning them. I have used paternosters, and I don't consider these dangerous at all. Paternosters are G.R.E.A.T fun :) I am very aware that this type of response is anecd…

I had mentioned that I do use orgmode, along with few others. But, my comment was further below yours, and was more of a "postscript". I definitely use it for most of my technical …

I came across it after I started using keepnote. Since I was already invested in the above three, I didn't bother too much with it. So, sorry that I am not too much of a help in th…

I like to store my data locally, so that influences the choice of my note taking software. I use cintanotes portable myself... http://portableapps.com/apps/office/cintanotes-portab…

I agree with your point on the very clumsy SSH tack-on take up with this approach. About the older utilities, again, I completely agree. But, the way to create the mx3 bundles is e…

Hmm, Have you looked at http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ before. I found this less of a hassle to install and work with, than cygwin.

This looks like an interesting project to keep an eye out for. On the topic of cygwin, I would also like to recommend mobaXterm, that I use instead of cygwin nowadays... It is an i…

This is so sad. This is the third time I hear of extremely gifted people that I know of, killed by road accident/hit and run. Growing up, I used to hear cassettes of Jon Higgins (m…

This whole init vs systemd has been a very divisive (and ongoing) debate, and both sides feel very strongly on their particular stance. Just look up the pages that come up for a "i…

Yes, you've summarised my everyday thoughts rather well. This is something that is pretty predominant lately in my mind, and also the fact that my own parents' mortality is an impe…

I totally agree with the point you make. But, then again, maybe it's my bias showing. :) Having said that, I also read the parent's phrasing/remark more as an "observation" of agei…

A few questions were asking for chrome "alternatives" FWIW, there is SRWARE Iron: http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron_faq.php

IIRC, Czechs (and Slovaks too, perhaps) have something called "svacina" which fits this definition of a second breakfast. There are other places in the world too that have this cus…

I was trying to give you quick summaried, multiple points of targeted advertising in my reply. Others who replied have taken the fishing example and pointed out how detailed target…

I think what OP's referring to is forms of "targeted up-sell", where they could choose what kind of fishing poles to sell to you. Here, the deal might be a favourable one, but not …

IIRC, GE runs workshops with TRIZ in all its R&D centres. Perhaps others too? But yes, that was the first time I heard about TRIZ too. :)

Reading this article reminded me of the scenes from the film, Shawshank redemption. You know, where Brooks got released, but was institutionalised for so long that he couldn't cope…
