Just so you know, the majority of popular Linux window managers & desktop environments have multiple-desktop/workspace support - it's not functionality limited to gnome :).

I don't see a mention anywhere of a license - are you leaving it unlicensed...?

Or more practically, run something like Alpine Linux from read-only media and reboot every two weeks. Goodbye, rootkits!

Inventing new forms of cryptography is far from the only way to make a valuable contribution to privacy as a 'cause', and really, it's not even the best one. You can build secure, distributed, infrastructure without centralized points of failure, control or observation, you can raise awareness...

Yeah, Opera Next is currently pretty bad. Most of what I like in Opera is missing from it. Still, they haven't said anything about release timelines yet, so I have hope they'll get it up to scratch before releasing it.

Many of Docomo's variants are dustproof + waterproof (to a few meters, but enough for most situations). You can get them from http://kyoex.com if you don't have a friend in Japan to ship them to you (and yes, they're unlocked before being sent to you). I'm using the L-01E, which is a waterproof...

Well, in Opera's next major version release they're swapping their layout engine etc. to their own Chromium fork, so the weirdness with javascript & their extensions will be "solved" by them using Chromium extensions, I guess. Assuming you still want to use Opera after the changes, you'd just...

Heh, on the other hand no news is good news - they're not complaining at least :P.

You're suffering from your home router not supporting NAT loopback. Most don't, and it's a PITA. You may be able to work around it by having your router's DNS return the internal IP for the FQDN instead of the external-facing internet IP. Also, cool thread. I've done some of this stuff myself...

I've got... About three, I guess, although I am slowly working on the project for one of them :P.

Yeah, but unfortunately there's not a huge amount they can realistically do about the price-point. Lowering the price-per-phone more would require more units, but they're limited in the number of units they can produce, and this would in turn result in a higher overall goal, making it more...

  Would have done more like 120 WPM, except the way they present the text is throwing me off - I slow down or mess up every time the second line gets shunted up >.>. I'd be better off having a scrolling row of text, or just having a huge-ass page's worth of static text. EDIT: Wait, it won't...

Generally speaking, even with very twitch-based games you won't see much difference for any latency <80ms (at minimum, mostly people can't tell the difference between anything under 120~150ms) unless you're superhuman. Plus, games with good netcode (here's looking at you, Valve) will further...

It's pretty obvious, really: dividing up the keyboard into regions and assigning one finger to each means you can hit more keys in the same amount of time because you have to move any given finger less on average. Can, not necessarily will, but generally most people who are fast typers and don't...

More importantly: SVN kinda horrible.

Honestly, Python/Ruby/etc. are 'fast enough' for most web-level purposes, and at least with Python you've got options if you need to scale up and can't afford more hardware - Stackless, PyPy, Cython, etc. They're also extremely good for rapid prototyping of new ideas, and you generally have the...

Yeah, but to be fair games programming can be fairly hard - there are a lot of potentially non-trivial problems, and you need to solve them all with very hardline timing guarantees otherwise you blow your framerate targets.

Primarily voice-based interface and no haptic feedback mechanism... too clunky, honestly. I'll wait for better tech, and more cool AR software.

I almost feel there's only one worth mentioning: Dresden Codak

You might want to give Server Auditor a try - it's an alternative Android/IOS SSH client with some nice functionality, especially if you're in a situation where you don't have a hardware keboard handy but still need to do something.
