    I know how to achieve it, (File > New view into file), it's just not as natural as jedit (You just open different views and the current open file defaults to opening in the new vie…

    I haven't used it on a mac, but on Linux and Windows it looks pretty sweet. Here's what it looks like on mine right now (looks same on windows and linux): That's some python code w…

    I used Sublime Text 2 on all my machines for over a month for Python and C. It was great for about 90% of the things. But I ended up going back to jedit because of: - The way split…

    I always genuinely care and end up looking like a smug asshole most of the time but there are a few times when someone does seem to feel really good that I care. You should see how…

    I would think that should be highly irrelevant. If they have invested in Spotify, then they are just securing their place in case Spotify (or Spotify-like services) displace the ol…

    It will be awesome when Spotify (or others) starts signing up bands as a "record label" itself, similar to Netflix produced shows. (Maybe they already do this?) Maybe that will att…

    Awesome! Can someone comment on how probable it would be to port it to linux (and windows)?

    Wasn't that the whole thing with diaspora? Funny I haven't seen anyone even mention diaspora in these threads.

    I think the current gmail search is a lot better than what it was a few months ago. I still wish they did page numbers for search results or something like that. (I'm aware of the …

    Valid point about the option of a slim xfce-based install being available. I disagree about the 'normal people' point. 'Normal people' are less likely to download Debian as opposed…

    While the inverse of that (light text on dark) makes for a terrible reading experience, yet so many bloggers/sites do it. (Funny observation: I seem to prefer dark themes for codin…
