@TalKeaton: Every Puzzle Has an Answer!: Why not use synergy instead? If the computers are networked and close enough that you're using both at the same time, it would be a lot more convenient than passing text and images over IM.

@SeraphX2: The only thing I use an account for is occasional backup email and IM, but I do both through native apps (kmail, kopete) so I don't have any reason to log in via browser, really.

@Almightywhacko: See my previous comment, directly above yours, where I already addressed this in response to two other comments about the same thing you decided to repeat.

@Yeah!: @V@no: I'm not concerned with what Google knows about me, I don't search with any one engine consistently anyway. I like different ones for different things.

I don't particularly like Google Instant, either, but disabling it isn't that simple for me. You can't seem to disable Google Instant unless you allow cookies from Google, and I don't, nor do I intend to start allowing them.

@Marand: Hopefully it doesn't bother people when I add these "here's how to do this with [something else]" comments.

@brackenthebox: If all else fails, you can always do what you said and use VirtualBox to run Outlook. Definitely not the optimal solution but it's a better fallback than trying to dual-boot.

@Jeff Abrahams: Pobre's mention of ntfs-3g is a good one. I don't know much about its reliability on OS X, but it works very well in Linux. It's a userland filesystem (using FUSE) so the performance isn't as good as with a kernel driver, but it's still tolerably fast. Most of the performance hit is with filesystem…

If you use KDE's file browsers (either Dolphin or Konqueror), similar functionality is built in already. No need for external repositories or additional downloads. (Doesn't seem to work for the Windows versions, however)

@Scott Kidder: It was there long enough that I thought it was a new feature of some kind.

@lordargent: The shebang could be wrong because of assumptions about bin locations, or expectations such as mentioned above - assuming /bin/sh links to /bin/bash - and could fail.

@Avedis: Good point, but most should still work. Plus some systems link /bin/sh to bash anyway.

@Jacob_Grimm: That's because you can't respond to a comment without promoting it. It's not that people are going "I want to make your comment visible so I can mock it!" per se. The problem is failure to restrain oneself: if you feed the troll you promote it in the process.

@swc oxcart: It doesn't really worry me here, but considering what I've seen Giz editors do with the power they already had, I would actually be concerned if Gizmodo starts using something like it.

@JohnnyricoMC: No, I'll be glad to provide a name: Gizmodo, homeland of arbitrary editing and administration.

On running scripts with ./name:

@DarwinSurvivor: I didn't mention grep at all, and I was clearly only responding to the use of redirection versus cat for getting input from a file.

I may have missed it, but in case it hasn't already been said:

@Vifon: There's a good argument for using cat, actually: you won't accidentally clobber a file because you got your < wrong.

Someone else mentioned it already, but there is now an "Admin stats" section on the user page. It's interesting, but the question I have is about the "pending comments" link.
