ISPA doesn't represent all ISPs in the UK. In protest at this decision, my ISP donated the equivalent of their annual ISPA membership fees to the Mozilla Foundation: https://twitter.com/aaisp/stat...

If it only it were just that - The UK navy cannot maintain the propulsion systems on Type 45 destroyers by itself because of ITAR!

I wish I could go back in time and tell my 18yo self to a) open a savings account b) set up an automated weekly transfer of some small amount into it.

Beleaguer? Really? I think you meant 'belabour'.

Lazarus Form Recovery - keeps a continuous history of all forms. Essential if your job consists of manipulating web interfaces all day.

Tree Style Tab - move the tabs to the side of the browser instead of the top.

Plunge grinding was only legalised in the UK in 1952, and those prosecuted were all posthumously pardoned by the then prime minister, Gordon Brown, in 2007.

Best Schwarzenegger reference ever!

If you want to use Kate to edit files on a server:

File > Open > fish://servername/path/to/file

More about fish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...

That's just one thing I love about Kate. Something else I like is the 'map' of the file you're working on, in the scroll bar.

Settings > Configure > Editor Component > Appearance > Borders > Show scrollbar mini-map.

What does '2-3 times less expensive' mean?

How on earth is this only a +4? This is the most interesting comment I've seen on /. in months!

This was my experience too. I record a load of stuff, "aah, I'll watch it later", and before long I've got a backlog of days worth of video. Not long after I stop adding stuff to the recording schedule because there's already a load to watch. Net result: don't record, don't watch. Haven't had a TV license for 18 months now. This isn't something that happened because I got the internet - I had broadband 5 years before I got MythTV working. Perhaps that says something about how hard it is to get MythTV working ;-)

If you want usable remote X with session support, use x2go. ssh -XC is fine for one-off apps, but if you ever need to disconnect and reconnect from elsewhere, x2go is the answer.

So...are you saying they don't have a problem? Or that they do have a lack of a problem? Or perhaps both?

Really? How would you know that?

...basking in the glory of a desktop environment that doesn't go out of it's way to remove stuff I use and stop me from working the way I want to. I think all the non-GNOME desktops can expect to gain some users from this, and I dearly hope that that no-middle-click-to-paste virus doesn't infect any other software projects.
