Viewing profile — jeez

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. :\

Orkut used to list the people who checked out your profile. Even they scrapped it long ago.

On a similar note, can anyone suggest tools like rescuetime for firefox? The few apps that the Firefox Addons website suggests are all outdated (not compatible with ff4+). Wouldn't…

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 wh…

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 …

i was just about to do the same! :)

a bit off-topic, but IS there a command line music player that works the way he illustrates in the article?

why did XML happen at all? JSON looks like the obvious solution. :\

Like pointed out earlier, bad economic policies are making the rich richer and poor poorer. Most of us IT folks are pretty much at the top in terms of income. So yeah, while bad on…

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: htt…

The animosity is kind of blurring now, at least in South India. We have Bangalore and Hyderabad which are excellent examples of a super-heterogeneous population, running as one big…

thank the English, we're One big country now. ;)

Thought this might be relevant. There was a recent discussion on freelance job rates and the OP was worried that bids for US$10 per hour by people from India (etc) will make it har…

including the front side cam, we've already been(being?) through the same trends on desktops and laptops too. :)

borrowed/lifted from Slashdot, because i think this is something that should get more coverage.
