One of the aspects of using a package manager I appreciate is being able to cleanly remove packages -- so I like having a package manager that makes it easy to create packages for because often what I want to try is not packaged yet.-ewemoa (May 21, 2014, 03:20 AM)
...Well, that would be really secure, but not necessary. By 'mounting' I meant to make the disk available to the operating system via the 'mount' command. If you don't mount it, the OS can't do anything with it.
So you're saying to physically unplug my HD before booting from a live Linux DVD?

Our Story
ProtonMail was founded in summer 2013 at CERN by scientists who were drawn together by a shared vision of a more secure and private Internet. Early ProtonMail hackathons were held at the famous CERN Restaurant One. ProtonMail is developed both at CERN and MIT and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. We were semifinalists in 2014 MIT 100K startup launch competition and are advised by the MIT Venture Mentoring Service.
Adobe's open-source font program doesn't stem from a desire to provide freebies, but instead from a need to have fonts that meet the legal requirements to include with its growing number of open-source projects. Source Serif Pro perfectly represents Adobe's current strategy: it's an elegant, well-designed, and fairly complete font, but was created because it was essential to the business, and then tied to a company milestone by PR and marketing to drive Creative Cloud subscriptions. Download it with equal parts delight and cynicism.

...pardon my doubts.Ayano Tsukimi (64) is living in Nagoro, a village in eastern Iya on Shikoku, one of the four main islands of Japan. Not many people are still living there. For those who die or move away, Ayano Tsukimi is making lifesized dolls in their liking and puts them in places that were important to them. The dolls are scattered around the whole valley.

Strike oneWhat I want in an editor:
------
Rectangular/column/block edit mode
Bookmark lines with a regex search and manipulate bookmarks (invert, blank lines, etc.)
Perform actions on bookmarked lines (copy, delete, move, etc)
Automatic incremental block fill (select block and fill/insert with 001, 002, 003, etc.)-Edvard (May 06, 2014, 07:32 PM)
Kedit does all that, and then some

Windows only, but known to run with WINE.-xtabber (May 09, 2014, 01:37 PM)
Also, expensive.Strike two
Line oriented, so search targets cannot cross line endings. If you are comfortable with REXX, you can make it do almost anything.Not quite strike three, but I never got into REXX.
I don't know why, but I really enjoy reading about why people choose the text editors they use.
I think it has partly to do with the fact that it's just a text editor, lol. It's supposed to be this very plain thing, yet there are so many complex options and features, etc. to consider and we get all passionate about them. Same goes for other software, I suppose, but I really have fun with the text editors.-superboyac (May 09, 2014, 04:41 PM)
With regard to Linux, I plan on falling behind the systemd wave in Debian, avoiding it. I may eventually move toward Gentoo, or over to one of the BSDs as well. But in avoidance of systemd, I won’t be keeping up with the latest edge of Linux for awhile, which makes for a poor developer’s environment.
In the wake of the DC Circuit’s net neutrality ruling, there has been quite a bit of media attention around congestion on the Internet and its effects on consumers, including alleged impacts on the quality of Netflix video streams and the ability to use Amazon Web Services. There is further speculation that this congestion could force large content distributors into cutting deals directly with Internet Service Providers (ISP) to avoid congestion the ISPs themselves are perpetuating. While this is news du jour, it is a problem that has really been around for several years. The problem is the game of “chicken” some last mile ISPs are playing with the Internet.
Fifty Years of BASIC, the Programming Language That Made Computers Personal
... Kemeny and Kurtz decided to create something so straightforward that it almost didn’t involve memorization at all. “We wanted the syntax of the language to consist of common words, and to have those words have a more-or-less obvious meaning,” says Kurtz. “It is a slight stretch, but isn’t it simpler to use HELLO and GOODBYE in place of LOGON and LOGOFF?”
Thanks for the warning -- the second example didn't work out of the box for me.-ewemoa (May 03, 2014, 05:15 AM)

FWIW, did find a few examples at sf (may be they're the same as what's at Google code -- looks like they're moving from there):
