@fznmomin: I'm looking forward to the tab sets/candy/whatever whatever Mozilla is calling it this week.

I just drag the "I'll get to it later" tabs to the left and ignore them until I need it. I don't notice any slowdown or excessive memory use, even when I have 60+ tabs open. I don't know if it's because I use flashblock or because the Linux version of Firefox manages memory better, but I use less RAM with dozens of…

@Nihilexistentialist: A bookmark that just contains javascript code, basically. Good example is Readability: [lab.arc90.com]

@hdhrant: Just preference. I liked the symmetry of having a handful of icons on the right and the normal navigation icons on the left.

@Nihilexistentialist: You don't even need an addon, you can search from the nav bar anyway. If you don't like the default choice of navbar search I think the "keyword.URL" entry is what you change in about:config to change the navbar search engine.

@Brain.wav: Yeah, it's something I've done for a long time but never thought to mention. I like it on the nav bar because it adds a bit of symmetry - navigation icons on the left, bookmark folder/icons on the right.

@Grant Forrest: Nice, I like how it works out without the menu bar in that.

@mtr0212: I don't use Chrome much, but when I tried it last I didn't see a way to do it, unfortunately. I could have missed something, though.

@Prairie Moon: Yep, it's pretty awesome. In addition to posting tips it's a good place to go to get fact-checking done, since there should be other knowledgeable people reading and posting that may know something you don't.

@Prairie Moon: Perfection isn't a requirement for expertise: even experts can be wrong. It just implies a higher degree of knowledge and skill than the average person ;)

@Jimbo Collins: Since it's a discussion on the merits of both, I'll toss in some thoughts on the benefits of GUI over CLI, too. A good argument for GUI apps is they are more discoverable at a lower level of proficiency. Specifically, if it's a task you perform infrequently or are new to, it can be easier to…

@rubbsdecvik: Good call! I actually have that installed, but I totally forgot about it. You're right about the resource use, it's extremely low considering what it does.

@billpetecom: Maybe it's because of the overall tone of the comment and others like it, but it reads like another "why would anyone do this [sneer] this is dumb" post from someone with limited understanding of potential uses. It was a civil comment, however, so I tried to respond with reasons it would make sense for…

@jedimaster: If it's ext2/3, there isn't a defrag tool because fragmentation is rarely a problem on it due to how the filesystem writes files. There is supposed to be support for online defragmentation in ext4, but I don't know if the tools are available yet.

@RoflChoppa: That wasn't supposed to be a challenge or a call to action ;)

What's with all the command line hate and trolling? I don't see the CLI users piling on hate for GUI apps when they get featured on Lifehacker, so why all the short-sighted "lol i liek da shiniez so dis is dum u al suk 4 using textz"* crap here?

@rubbsdecvik: I know this is rather late, but if you haven't tried it yet, dvtm works more like the graphical tiling window managers (awesome, ion, etc.). When you open new "windows" it automatically splits it for you and resizes, keeping one window as your focus one.

@bibdectrl: I love Nethack, Angband, and ZAngband. Great time-wasters.

@TheFu: Hadn't heard of ts before, thanks. Bookmarked.

@Kerensky97: You're making the erroneous assumption that everyone has the same system and usage habits as you.
