Years ago when I used Opera, it had this ability, which it called Linked Tabs. Looks like they've changed the name.

Right-click a tab and choose "Create Follower Tab". Links you click in the current tab are opened in the follower tab. Back then it also worked for form button submissions, so it probably still does.

Here's the quick rundown:

You contact Google's server through the proxy, and the server sends you Google's public key. This key isn't secret, so it doesn't matter if the proxy gets it, too.

Now you use their public key to encrypt a message telling them the symmetric encryption key you want to use for the rest of the communication. Only Google can decrypt that message, so only you and Google will know the key to use to decrypt the rest of your communications.

A man in the middle attack is only possible if GoogleSharing can either break or guess Google's private key, or the symmetric key you agreed to use after the handshake. Both are very hard to do. So don't worry about it.

That's true. And I'm with you on the visual pattern type puzzles. Those usually look like noise to me, too.

You basically need to use the proportion given to find out how many rolls they buy of each type, then price them at the new prices.

Find out how much they spent on heavy tape: $1440 * 0.75 = $1080

Convert to number of rolls using price per roll: $1080 / $34 =~ 31.7647

Light rolls: ($1440 * 0.25 / $28) =~ 12.8571

New prices: (31.7647 * $32) + (12.8571 * $27) is about $1363.61, giving them a savings of $76.39 per month.

That's not really an argument against Glider. A lot of software works the same way, including anti-virus software and Blizzard's own Warden software. Should we make those illegal?

One problem with x-rays and gamma radiation:

X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation, and exposure to them can be a health hazard.

Because they are a form of ionizing radiation, gamma rays can cause serious damage when absorbed by living tissue and, are therefore a health hazard.

I think both are/would be a wasteful boondoggle. Feel better?

So is this thing going to replace email/IM/cellphones/writing by hand?

I've read a few articles about it, but I guess nothing about it has grabbed me. What do you, yourself, use it for, if you don't mind my asking?

Also, none of this conjecture really makes sense in light of the conclusion of the article, which seems to be "use the MIT license", which is offers no defense even to linking.

Sure, it does. One subtle point of the article is that the GPL is a confusing license that doesn't provide the protections people think it does, because it's "not viral enough." If that is case, why bother with it? Use a license that's simple and works the way people think it does. He even recommends the Sleepcat license for those wanting strong copyleft, because it is much simpler than the GPL.

Note: Just restating the article, not necessarily my own opinion.

I tried to convince my wife to write her master's thesis using LateX, but she decided that spending a couple weeks learning something new wasn't worth it. She was very sorry at the end of the process when she spent over a month doing nothing but fighting Word's formatting glitches that show up in huge documents.

I didn't press harder in the beginning because I don't have LateX experience either, so I didn't feel confident that I'd be able to find satisfactory answers to questions she might have. Honestly, it seems pretty overwhelming getting started.

Does anyone have a low-learning-curve, take-your-time method for learning LateX?

Yeah, it's great to harp on the rich because their lives are so much easier. I guess you don't realize how much they actually do pay in taxes. Here's a page near the top of the Google results for "united states percentage of taxes paid relative to income".
http://www.allegromedia.com/sugi/taxes/

That page is 9 years old but it's pretty illuminating. In particular, the introduction points out these three facts:
* The top 1% of taxpayers pay 29% of all taxes.
* The top 5% of taxpayers pay 50% of all taxes.
* The bottom 50% of taxpayers pay nothing or almost nothing.

The intro then goes on to say that tax breaks are often put in a negative light because they'll benefit the rich the most. And why would that be? Because the rich are paying almost all of the taxes.

Basically, you add the feed address to your reader. Most websites have them now, especially webcomics and blogs. Your reader periodically checks the feed and looks for updates.

So now the reader handles all of the update checking, and you just read the updates as they come in. All in one place, organized however you like.

There's essentially no difference between these two situations. Let me annotate your text a bit to point out the similarities:

All curl is doing is writting a stream of bytes to stdout and ffmpeg is reading a stream of bytes from stdin that it then interprets as a video and plays.

And all Powershell is doing is writing a stream of bytes to stdout, and then reading a stream of bytes from stdin that it then interprets as an object and calls methods on.

To be even more specific: In your first set of examples, the dimensions are actually adjectives describing some noun, and adjectives aren't pluralized. (Although I'm sure someone can find a counter-example.) In the second set, the measurements are nouns themselves, so they get the plural treatment.
