I still don't understand how XML works so I copied this: Quote <input id="address" type="textarea" container="inputs" rows="5"> Type an address (this is a multi-line box where you can type newlines): </input> and tried to replace the section: Quote <node type="folder" caption="Questions" init_expanded="true">     <node type="checkbox" caption="Narcissism">       <output container="main">         Am I pursuing this because I'm too ignorant in wanting to be altruistic to  everyone/every subclass or because I'm narcissistic enough to know that this would help progress-elevate future identical beings who have the same dreams and struggles as I do?        </output>     </node> with this: Quote <node type="folder" caption="Questions" init_expanded="true">     <node type="checkbox" caption="Narcissism">       <input id="main"  type="textarea" container="inputs" rows="5">         Am I pursuing this because I'm too ignorant in wanting to be altruistic to  everyone/every... - Fake Name

http://www.webupd8.org/20... ^Didn't test this. Windows link: http://wiki.dropbox.com/Dropbox... Direct Download link: http://dl.getdropbox.com/... Linux: Quote HOME=$HOME/.dropbox-alt /usr/bin/dropbox start -i This will launch the Dropbox initial setup for the folder called .dropbox-alt which does not exist, so you'll be presented with the initial configuration. You can create a new account or use an existing one. If you already had a Dropbox instance running, now there should be 2! Run at Start Up: Quote sudo gedit /etc/rc.local paste the following line just before the "exit 0" last line: Quote su username -c "HOME=$HOME/.dropbox-alt /usr/bin/dropbox start" If the file doesn't have "exit 0" on the last line, add it yourself. Basically, this is how the last two lines in the /etc/rc.local file should look like: Quote su username -c "HOME=$HOME/.d... - Fake Name

I don't really know any ASCII formatting (like the ones you see in Gamefaqs) so I've been making liberal use of the =, -, [,] symbols. Any other advice like text editor and symbols. (For ex. I have no idea how to make a decent Table of Contents yet.) It's just nowadays I've been relying on DropBox's free 2gb for back ups and .txt is the lightest, most convenient cross-OS format I know of. I've even resorted to typing up webpages instead of using web clippers. I'm just angry that when a program dies down (or in my case because I switched to Linux), it's a hell of a lot of work extracting those notes because exports only work on the same program. Then I hate that I'm connected to one/couple of external HDs so I decided I might just as well squeeze all 2gb with text files. At least it's easier to recover compared to HDs and sticks. - Fake Name

It's a misleading (and mistaken) question. "No one" is too sensational. Education is strongly tied to the value of information. >>>Information wants to be free>>>That's why the model is shifting >>>Information wants to be more expensive>>>Replace news reporting with "how to" report news Blog books, freemium services, paid instructors increases in demand. Expensive journalism, newspapers, product/item advertising decreases in demand. (I don't really know how to state my point so I'm just putting what makes sense to me in this reply.) - Fake Name

Quote from: mouser on Today at 04:14:35 PM Here's a small one: What about a program that sits in the system tray and lets you configure 2 colors and a numeric range.  Essentially you are setting two ends of a range, a min and max value, and a color associated with each end of the range. At any time you could double click to type in a new current numeric value, and it would adjust the desktop background color to a blend between the min and max of the range and between the two colors. The idea: You could set one color like blue that you really like on your desktop, and one, say Red, that you really dislike.  Then you set the range to indicate for example your weight if you are on a diet, or a min and max # of pages you have to read a book each day.  So when you deviate from your goal, the background will be something you really dislike.. might serve as a nice motivation. This doesn't fit the bill but maybe you guys can contact the people who di... - Fake Name

I don't have a specific idea for this program but I'm curious at what would come up if you designed an app based on the main Twitter ui look and feel. I know there are already tons of Adobe Air twitter clients that do this but I haven't encountered a true (not small font, not Adobe Air) program that embraces the ui. The closest I know is CintaNotes: What I'm particularly curious with is if it can redefine categories if you treat it like Twitter accounts and redefine Reminders if you treat it like Scheduled Twits. Also I'm wondering if you can improve the GTD Next Action if you replace @mentions with an incoming @inbox. - Fake Name

http://debatewise.org/deb...? Snippets: Quote it is an inappropriately harsh punishment for a badly thought out law. some instances of filesharing aren't stealing anyway - for instance, people making their own work freely available for download. and things like translation patches for Japanese games are still legally fuzzy. why is going to court to be tried for a crime an 'inconvenience'? it is possible that you didn't commit the offence - you could have been hacked - and it is possible that your offence wasn't harsh enough to warrant disconnection - if you only downloaded one torrent file - so legally you should have a trial.

Thanks tomos. The string bit helped alot. I'll check the forums when I have the guts to join a new community. Been having bad experiences with posting in forums lately. - Fake Name

I just watched the Google Video and I fail to understand the neck posture. How is it supposed to work? I get that I need to gently pull my hair back and up but then I feel stuck. I don't really know how to move my neck. For example, when I have to tilt and move my neck, I'm not really sure whether I should continue feel like a tucked in giraffe/ostrich or it's alright to move it like normal. - Fake Name

Just another GOE draft from my notes. This one is purely a list and I never tied all the references together to create an article --- although the entries underneath each item was spontaneously type written for this topic. Also: Fake meaning sounds like visualization-lite but it's different. Visualizations take effort and habit-formations and even the lite-techniques take repetition. Fake meanings on the other hand don't require work. In fact, you're already applying it in your life already. It's all about whether you want to or not. Sometimes authors throw in some additional questions as fluff or fake depth but that's something I won't include even if it does make the whole thing sound better. This thread is just here as a framework to say "Yes, it exists. Yes, you're doing it. Yes, you're not helpless to tweak it." and "here's some examples." Be the HeroBook: http://www.amazon.com/Be-...

P.S. Probably a good time to make a 4th request: Cross-OS off-line proofreader: Features: *Spell and grammar checker off/not included - hate seeing that red line underneath the texts *Possible sync with PopUp Wisdom books - have a list of words to avoid/to use/to replace in PopUp Wisdom, don't really like separate imports *Separate input/edit mode - this could support auto-pop-up menu ala the recent Diigo instead of constant right clicks *MDI + Session - Ehh... it's not alternative from turning a basic text editor into a wiki. Mostly to compare drafts. Reference: http://en.support.wordpress.com/proofre... Grammar and Style Options Quote The proofreader applies many of its grammar rules by default. These extra options find patterns of poor writing style: Bias language may offend or alienate different groups of readers. Clichés are overused phrases with little reader impact. Complex phrases are words or phrases with simpler every-day a... - Fake Name
