They were probably right on the money considering Yahoo's reputation.

Given that they own a bunch of stock in Orange, yes, it literally is their business.

a bunch like in biggest shareholder. I still don't know if I agree with the action made in my name tho. I'm not in this anti-state crap, I just wonder how to make efficient militant shareholder decisions. To their credit they are trying something.

That's a shame.

But I hope understandable for a prototyping tool. I'll take contributions though.

Sofa still rules! And now in open-source. Cheers, Koen.

What's Sofa?

I've made this mistake, only I was too naïve at the time to realise my mistake, thinking that vim, because of its reputation, could surely handle it. A server reboot later and I was enlightened.

Possibly tangential, but you can copy and paste and get different results based on context (eg. copy image file, paste into HTML doc, get image tag; paste into terminal, get path; paste into mail client, get attachment; paste into image editor, get the image itself). It definitely works in OSX, but IIRC it's supported in Windows too.

I last tried this around 18 months ago, in a Firefox extension. Was a bit fiddly but I could do what I wanted.

It works on virtually all desktop systems (Linux, OSX, Windows) and has for a good long time, it's just a matter of whether or not the application has implemented support for it.

You're more limited in what you can do in a web application though.

It'd be akin to the smattering of z-index:9999 you see all over the place.

True, but just because something can be abused by sloppy programmers doesn't mean it isn't a good idea. Can you imagine if you z-index was a boolean?

The best thing about Adium is that every conversation can occupy its own little window, taking full advantage of OSX's window system. If you need to chat, the window for that specific conversation is right there to look at. Use exposé and you see all the chats at once.

Never do you have to open the monolithic Adium app, then click to the conversation that exists in a different 'folder'(since they use the same concept of Finder's sidebar).

I immensely dislike the concept of single window apps in OSX just because you can't dismiss the parts of the app you really don't care about. You can't see more than one portion of it at once, and you can't organise it on your very spacious desktop.

How I wrote a title that didn't suck, and saw my productivity increase 30%

With "Please, oh please use git pull --rebase" I didn't mean to preach but to convince some of the people I code with to maintain at least basics of a clean git history, thus the 'please' in title. I wrote it some time ago and only yesterday I was surprised at the sudden popularity of that post :)

Don't take it personally, it's more of a general observation that a problem with your post in particular

While the idea of an oath may be flawed, I do think it's about time some segments of the tech field showed a little less contempt towards users. I don't know how that would happen, but launching your own startup shouldn't give you carte blanche to exploit your users however you see fit.

As a programmer, I don't want a bunch of charlatans in SF to give my career an unsavoury reputation because of these antics.

It's a bit of a stretch to complain that so many people 'stole' the game when they put their own cracked copy on BitTorrent.

Oh, really?

Someone else would have done the same, and you know it. I think this strategy was brilliant.

This would happen anyway.

It's like Chris Morris gave copy/paste the Brass Eye treatment.

If we are doing obscure British radio comedy references, then I have to add:

"What is point?"

Chris Morris is way more than an obscure british radio comedian.
