Re: [dev] uzbl
The whole tabbing situation could be solved if monacle were able to function for only one tab (or "virtual desktop" if you will). If that can happen, then simply having moncale on the tab you have the browser in would be great. if you want to go to another open page you just shuffle around till you get to it. Granted, this might be a problem if you are one of those people with 200 different tabs open. ;p But since I am not one of those people, this would definitely be a viable solution for me. P.S. - by the way, I hope I am not making a fool of myself. If the whole "monacle-but-only-in-one-tab" problem has been solved, please let me know! I use dwm-5.4.1.

Practically everyone on #plan9 (freenode) chewed me out because I didn't want to use Plan9 with X (rio, wmii, etc.)... I wonder why... I'll revisit it tonight (or tomorrow night) if running Plan9 Xless is indeed possible.

Check out R and PDL (if you know perl).

One idea is to not install any CAS software on your own computers (probably slow and crappy compared to some huge mainframe) and just use WolframAlpha's. Check www.wolframalpha.com

Re: [dev] Collecting sins of Apple
I have never been able to have my Linux client access folders and files shared under Mac OS X Samba server. Apple replaced Samba with SMBX, their home-cooked application for Windows File Sharing. By default, it also doesn't do much logging. If you want to review logs, you'll have to edit the launchd item. What a pain. -A.

Do you know about some bad things Apple has done in their pursuit of ever-increasing profits? Do you know about ways Apple is against free and open-source software? Please let me know.
