PG, where can i exchange my karma points for real karma?

"Karma" is just an integer in a database. I can't image many people here really caring about that.

That's right. I have Alt+Space mapped to Launchy so i didn't test that.

I'm not afraid to say that i'm using Windows XP. :-) But i don't see how this behaviour is related to a single click patent. Btw. it doesn't work with Firefox.

Neither do i. And i'm not arguing that FreeBSD should adopt git or another dvcs. But the time to learn them is imo not an argument against them.

I'm not convinced about the perceived difficulty to learn git et al. You and the other FreeBSD developers are OS hackers. You're telling me it's hard for them to learn a dvcs in a …

Is it really necessary to create a thread for something trivial like this? Couldn't you just mail PG?

About a year ago i looked at the WordPress code. My PHP knowledge is limited, but it was easy to see that the code was not very good. Perhaps it has improved, but i personally woul…

Namecheap has recently become an ICANN accredited registar.

Even the openness is not what i was expecting last year. So what if it runs on Linux? You're stuck with whatever the Android SDK supports and you have to use Java.

Perhaps you'd like Microsoft's PowerShell if you have to use Windows. Microsoft is slowly realizing that many people like to use command line tools, especially for managing servers…

What in a Unix environment makes you more productive? The GUI of OSX is quite different from Gnome or KDE. Is it the command line with tools like grep?
