So like Plague then, but with much more abuse-potential.

It's exactly that kind of thinking that worked so brilliantly for Firefox, isn't it?

What sort of moronic thinking leads developers to 'remove the override' for advanced users?

It's thoughtfully done, but it is also useless as a dashboard, providing too little to do.

I personally prefer Rubber New Tab because it is minimal in design, not content. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rubber-new-tab/dcc...

Umm...so its Greasemonkey?

I dropped Dropbox because Google Drive simply offered a better product in general for cheaper.

Dropbox is probably the LEAST feature-rich and mid-range to high in the cost part , compared to all the other file sharing services out there.

I suppose the OP thought, like I do too, that it is obvious what positive effects come from fraternal relations with politicians.

Have you read the newspapers lately from ANY part of the world? Does it still need to be explained why, in general, being cosy with the politicos is usually a good thing?

Honest Question: What circumstances force you to browse without Javascript?

It feels a little like running a car constantly in first gear. It is going to be a guaranteed sub-optimal experience.

I am still waiting for a proper browser based mail client that will let me read email from a variety of IMAP servers, rather than email 'clients' that are actually not clients, but just interfaces to a particular email service.

I liked the idea of a free and open-source password manager. It seems that Mitro has been around for nearly a year.[1].

It does not seem anywhere near as mature as Lastpass though. There are no additional features such as a credit card or notes store. Also, it seems buggy since I was only able to login once through the Chrome extension.

I guess I will stick with Lastpass for now.

The centroid is the average of all points of a shape. It is therefore the only point that contains information about the entire shape. Any other point doesn't. Naturally, since paths are distances and can also be averaged in the same way, it is actually quite obvious that the path travelled by the centroid of a shape is also the average path of all the points on that shape. In fact, it directly follows from the definition of a centroid consider that the path of a shape is the addition of one more dimensional coordinate to each of the points on that shape.

Sorry,I still do not see what makes this so special.

The way this is presented in the blog post is as if this is a really insightful but now under-appreciated gem of mathematics.

But all that description is saying is, when a 2D shape is made by rotation, its area is the multiple of the 1D generator and the 1D path it takes? You don't say! And then volumes! when a 3D volume is made, its a 2D shape going through 1D path ...wow.

Forgive me if I am not impressed. This is not an unknown theorem but a trivial mathematical fact that one learns somewhere around Grade 7 in school. Of course, Pappus deserves credit for discovering in 300 AD, and the paper by the Goodmans is nice to have a general formal proof of. But even that paper concedes that they are simply proving a general proof for completeness.

How about we make a wifi tax so that everyone pays for it and then have open networks ?

How about WiMax?

How about asking the ISPs to implement the free WiFi and flat subscription rates with no tiers?

How about asking the mobile companies that already cover urban areas to make HSDPA/UMTS/LTE free?

Plenty of more efficient ways to do this than this open network movement. And yet you're asking the individual who has like the smallest bandwidth fraction of all these players and the one one who pays the most per MB of bandwidth to make it free? Not. gonna. happen.

0.25 = 0.25

1 - 3 + 2.25 = 4 - 6 + 2.25

1^2 + 2(1)(1.5) + (1.5)^2 = (2)^2 - 2(2)(1.5) + (1.5)^2

Since a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = (a - b)^2

(1-1.5)^2 = (2-1.5)^2

1 = 2

QED.

I am surprised why anyone is still using Chrome. Their debacle with remotely disabling extensions that are not from the Web Store should have spooked users enough.

The only advantage you would get with a Chrome extension is distribution platform (Web store). Chrome extensions are not in principle 'more dicoverable'.

Now it really depends on what your application does if you are considering donwloading and clicking on an installer a bigger barrier to entry then clicking 'Add to Chrome'.

In general, though Chrome does nothing to push users towards installing extensions from the web store versus downloading a program.

Good work, though I largely prefer Source Code Pro (Medium). This is probably the most well-done monospace font I've seen.

GIMP is not trying to emulate Photoshop. That is their problem. Really, they should ape every single one of Photoshop's functional features.

Photoshop is the standard in the arts industry. Photoshop is also darn good at what it does, certainly no competitors even in the proprietary space. There were at one time: Corel Photopaint , and Paint Shop Pro and so on. Photoshop won that war for a reason.

GIMP needs to be a FOSS Photoshop first. And if there are improvements they can include them. Like dumping GTK and using Qt, for instance.

OpenEmu is a game emulator for Mac. Retroarch http://themaister.net/retroarch.html has existed for ages though. What's different about this?
