There's a typo on the Requirements page: http://amon.cx/plus/requirements/

Users are instructed to check their python version with `python -v`, but the correct command is `python -V` (uppercase).

Google Reader's "sort by magic" (under "View settings") might work for you:

""" A third option, Sort by magic will rank items by "magic." Personalized magic ranking is automatically generated, taking into account your past reading behavior (including liking and starring) and global signals. We'll do our best to display items in the most relevant and interesting order -- click the Like button on things you think are important or enjoy reading, and we'll learn to put items like that first. """

Looks promising, I'll try it.

Ideally it would hide all but the top 10 or 50 or 100 posts, and if I finish reading those I could see more. Opening up an RSS reader and seeing hundreds or thousands of unread posts is discouraging.

Note that Amazon's new free movie/TV-streaming service for Prime members isn't available to Amazon Student or Amazon Mom customers unless they pony up the annual $79 fee:

So students and moms probably won't get Kindles for "essentially-free or even straight-up free."

unsure the circumstances, but i just got one free year as it was offered during checkout, and days after the announcement i was sent an email saying i can watch streaming videos.

Or, most anywhere:

for i in {1..17}; do curl http://edge.org/q2011/q11_$i.html >> edge.html; done

T-Mobile plans are actually about $20 cheaper without a contract. (They're pretty quiet about this.) Also, there's value in being able to switch carriers without penalty at any time if, say, you decide to get a different phone a year from now.

Actually, hell really is frozen over, at least at its core:

No, it didn't. If you're sharing pictures via email, you're doing it wrong.

why?

I hope you're joking, but in case you're not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Reznor

There's a slight misspelling in this headline (and in the article itself).

Really? I've never seen a better webmail interface than Gmail's. Can you justify your claim by providing some of "it's" qualities that are so laughable?

I hate to get into a flamewar but 90% of the themes they are so proud of break basic usability guidelines: Too distracting, not enough contrast between read and unread items, ignoring color theory for the meaning of colors used in the interface, etc. Drives me crazy.

Edit: And as I posted to my Tumblr (http://ajh.us/GmUI) just 5 days ago:

> Today I opened a Gmail window. At the top of the screen, I saw a yellow message beginning, “Hey, this is important! …” I never finished reading it because I had clicked something else (a message) and the supposedly important message disappeared, never to be seen again.

> So the Gmail team either

> 1. Lied about the importance of the message, or

> 2. Totally failed to make me actually read it.

> Not so impressive UI design.

I've seen 'Hey, this is important!' before: on a gmail account that had its password compromised. I seem to recall that it was 'you might be compromised, you should verify your secondary address for account recovery' You might want to check your Gmail usage log at the bottom of the window, check your secondary address, and change your password.

Oh, it's because they think the account is compromised? Huh. I've had that message a few times before, noted that yes, that is the recovery address I told them about and yes, it's wrong, but no, I won't update it just because it's been a while. If I had known they asked because they noticed I'd logged in from a new location, I would have updated the record.
