    Was this patent filed before or after the head of USPS was installed by the Dear Leader?

    Is there a handwritten (stylus) notes software which can be used for this type of linking? I'm not talking about OCR, but handwritten/drawn as default format.

    I'd be interested to see a description of the concept behind this -- it looks fun/pretty, but what is the concept and structure?

    I'm certainly drawn to the idea and am inclined positively towards it. I'm even willing to overlook the ridiculous hubris of "This new medium will be the way most text is read and …

    The 2011 video I referenced in my other comment was taken along Coorow-Latham road, in WA, with the same camera motions... Perhaps this one was also taken there?

    Interesting utility, and kudos for making it OSS! Something I couldn't help but notice is that it is very similar to a short film which played at TIFF 2011 called "Coorow-Latham Ro…

    This seems to work well -- I imagine I would use it if I were using a temporary computer, an ipad, or some such thing. What would be nice is if I could integrate it with dropbox or…

    Thank you for replying - I tried the new branch, and posted the problem I encountered as an issue with gists attached on the github.

    I think my fontforge is the current version (see above) -- please correct me if I'm wrong.

    yes - it crashes as described with any pdf file.

    From my point of view, that's not really tex to html. That's tex markup to html. I am talking about using the latex software, whose purpose is to do typesetting. The amazing thing …

    This is what fontforge displays when I start it up: Executable based on sources from 14:57 GMT 31-Jul-2012-D. Library based on sources from 14:57 GMT 31-Jul-2012.

    Amazing - I am attempting to install this on mac osx lion -- it is taking a lot of time because of the dependencies. With so many dependencies the probability of failure is very hi…

    Very interesting - It would be great if the author could outline his overall goals and design ideas. What are some of the constraints on the PDF in terms of page dimensions or conf…

    A couple of naive questions about the design of the security system: 1. Why is it possible to do the password tests remotely? Why would the key on the router be allowed to be trans…

    I emphatically disagree. In creating tutorials, the key is exercising restraint. This is especially important when dealing with Emacs, which is a classic case of an almost complete…

    I find your post interesting, and it goes some way to answering my own questions. However, your post is based on the premise "There are four issues with decentralized, large-scale …
