I've been using David Allen's "Getting Things Done" methodology for about three years now and I find it works really well. When dealing with mail the principle I follow is to use t…

I'm going with SwellJoe because he seems to have some patterns in common.

Great! I love Opera, use it exclusively, and I wish it got a bigger market share. Some things to love about Opera: * Superb keyboard support including reaching any link on the page…

Here you go: (defun fullscreen () (interactive) (let (f w l r cb b) (setq cb (current-buffer)) (setq b (switch-to-buffer "*NOSUCHBUFFER*")) ;Temp buffer otherwise (setq f (make-fra…

There is actually a very simple solution that a bank could use to mitigate this issue - just send a SMS everytime there is an ATM withdrawal. I believe the bank I've just moved to …

And you're right!!

Understanding this level of communication becomes simpler if you understand the dynamics at play in office relationships. Listen to gossip, try to understand the way your boss feel…

IMHO as a learning language nothing beats LISP. It's a little tricky in the beginning, but the pay-off is great simply in the way it changes your perception of programming. This is…

It makes me sad to realize I read the OP and thought "Isn't this normal?" Then I read all your comments and realized just how different the US is from India and how far we still ha…

Ok - I program in a software product company. Our business depends on getting out the best solution - not the fastest solution. It's definitely not a "hobby". Some businesses may r…

So why did you switch to FogBugz?

Ok - this is a cute post but I'm going to play devil's advocate. So what if it is faster to do X? I program because I like to. I find it much better than trawling through the net, …

Doesn't the OP sort of invalidate this? Any government should find it reasonably easy to install this kind of a keylogger on your computer. It would be quite easy to get a few minu…

This is utterly fascinating. I use TrueCrypt and never dreamt that such a simple attack even existed. Sigh - privacy in the age of information seems to be an impossible dream.

I may be an ignorant philistine but I fail to see why the credentials of a painter should matter when appreciating a piece of art.

How in the world did you get that from the article? I'm really chuffed about these kind of "hacks". There are a lot of initiatives in India to try and improve the lives of the rura…

I second Evernote :-) The free version is good enough but I felt it was worth shelling out the $45 for the premium upgrade.

Screen: started using it because of this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=848821 Now I really cannot imagine working without it. The ability to detach and re-attach to n…

1) Where is the legal stuff that says what happens to embarrassing photos of grandma? 2) Asking users to select their own url may have some issues. What happens if two people go on…

Very nice interface. I tried it out and had the following problems: 1) In 17 words, "arboretum" and "impetus" came up twice. 17 words is way too soon to start repeating. 2) The wor…

There is some code in this link: http://www.runrev.com/developers/tutorials/intermediate-hang... It seems to be a relatively verbose language so it's really not for me. The GUI bui…

Phew! I'm glad this doesn't apply to me.

First, Watson and Crick were hardly entrepreneurs so the comparison is totally unrealistic. Secondly, every single successful entrepreneur succeeded by working hard. It's easy to s…

Was the code commented in enough detail? At work, we comment heavily and tend to use short variable names (especially local variables) so I'd like to know of outside experiences wi…

Plus Google is convenient so I use it but I can hardly say I "love" it.
