I have two Mac OS X clients, both running XQuartz 2.1.6 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple33). When I SSH into a remote linux system enabling X1 forwarding and launch gnome-terminal, on one Mac the terminal looks correct while on the other, the fonts are all screwy!

(That said, I'm with @Lasse and @Lance. I can't stand having >100 messages in the inbox, though I do leave read messages in the inbox if I think I'll be referring back to them soon.)
@Fosco Yep. I made sure to create a catchall "EverythingElse" label early on so I wouldn't have unlabeled messages; if it's not special enough for its own label, it's not lost forever.
Yeah, it's harder to deal with Gmail, since they don't have folders. And you can't search for messages with no label. It's not very good for organizing.
I like folders better than labels, because it keeps my window from being all cluttered. All the old stuff lying around in Gmail, just takes more time for the mind to process that it doesn't need to look at it again.
@LanceRoberts I am no where near organized enough to put stuff into carefully-chosen hierarchical folders. Labels can be doubled up, automatically applied, and forgotten about until needed without requiring me to remember my filing strategy.
@Shog9 "Windows Vista sucks" is a worthless comment. "Windows Vista sucks because of this and this and that reason" actually provides, you know, content.
Why I didn't like Vista: 1. On boot, ~40% of Available RAM was taken. 2. Since the new Windows Driver Model was so new, there was terrible coverage and support for the first year or two.
@Shog9 I care, if you're going to say that Vista sucks. I'd have no problem with, say, "the Vista situation sucks." But the OS itself can't be labeled "sucks" if it's really hardware manufacturers' fault.
Personally, I can't wait for the next evolution in desktop computing. That would require Windows, Linux, Mac all die out in favor of a totally new way of doing stuff
@spoulson I had such fun showing that off to a friend, running on a 10yr-old machine and doing jiggly windows faster than Vista/7 could do the card-flipping thing
@Shog9 That's exactly my gripe. I can't use Aero Flip because 1) Win-Tab does nothing on the first press except render the 3d view; have to hit it again to actually switch (unlike Alt-Tab), 2) The rendering is just not snappy enough to enjoy
@Fosco Compiz Fusion puts Linux on the map for desktop experience to model after, IMHO. Lots of other usability problems aside, Compiz Fusion got a lot of stuff right.
Ubuntu w/ Compiz Fusion on my circa '03 old PC is pretty snappy at 1280x768. I wouldn't expect the same of Win7, though I haven't tried except on my much more powerful '09 lappy.
I used to use ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop as my primary web dev machine. Then, I got an iMac for iOS dev. The rest is history. Btw, I haven't found a good video editing program for ubuntu.
There was a promising one called OpenShot, but it turns out to not be professional enough. I need more control. I'm used to Adobe Premiere. (Yes! Edited from a mobile device.)
@TheUnhandledException I actually did renew my hosting with GoDaddy, but I still may have additional needs - please respond as if I had not yet renewed.
We're a Software as a Service company, and we've been working hard to get v2.0 of a major module out of beta.
We're at v2.0 beta 4 right now
One particular customer strongly requested a new feature, and against my better judgement I had our team build this new feature and it has been committed to SVN
It's really buggy, and I have spoken to our team and we agreed that we made a mistake, and this feature we no longer want in v2.0, we want to move to the v2.1 branch
I know technically a number of steps which will do what I want in svn, but what's the best way to undo this work? Should I svn rename /branches/2.0 /branches/2.1 and svn copy /branches/2.0@revBeforeWeStartedThisFeature /branches/2.0?
I know better. They just refactored a bunch of code by renaming and moving directory structures. I told them to do it with SVN Move/Copy, and not just let VS do all the filesystem work... but NOOOOoooOoo don't listen to spoulson...
Could also be user error. TortoiseSVN makes you click a checkbox to see history beyond the last merge
@spoulson would it be better to branch 2.0@buggyfeaturerev -> 2.1, or branch 2.0@BEFOREbuggyfeaturerev -> 2.1 and then merge 2.0@BEFOREbuggyfeaturerev to 2.0@buggyfeaturerev in the 2.1 branch?
@spoulson I made similar mistakes a lot before learning the intricacies of svn
@spoulson I agree, I just wasn't sure if that gets me a branch (2.1) which is the same as where 2.0 would be tagged 2.0b4, and then a subsequent commit changing 2.1
2.1 branch doesn't exist yet. I wasn't sure if it's beneficial at all to have the earliest rev of 2.1 be the same as a tagged version of the 2.0 branch
@spoulson We have a crapload of commits due to the way I've structured SVN. (Committing code updates the testing site, so you can code and commit to test). Our policy is every svn commit must reference a Trac ticket explaining why these changes are being made
@PopularDemand Noted :-) Laptop HDMI still working?
I'm trying to parse a feed usong NSXMLParser, but the feed has no <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> declaration at the beginning and no root.
Any way around this?
There is no visited entry in the User Profile page in the new Metas for SE. Could we please add this in? I know it's possible to get the Enthusiast badge in the Metas, so it would be good to have that info.
I've been on the SO trilogy sites since beta. I log into each one with the same OpenID as always. But, this time for Programmers SE, it does not associate and I didn't get my free 100 rep.
When I go to my Programmers SE profile / Accounts tab, it shows I'm associated with answers.onstartups.co...
