There's https://github.com/chander/social-network-cleaner which more or less worked for me when I deleted my account. (Over a year ago now.)

Even worse, we actually had a regression at work caused by a zero width space sneaking into some code. Most editors won't even display anything for that character, even the code review tool we used didn't!

In the end I configured Emacs to highlight all unicode characters, trailing whitespace and tabs bright red. I also had it render zero width characters as normal spaces, otherwise they were still invisible. https://github.com/kzar/emacs.d/blob/master/init.el#L181-L19...

"I don't know for sure..."

Please stop spreading FUD.

Adblock Plus is not mentioned in the blog post, has a privacy policy and is open source. If you're worried about how it handles your data you can have a look at the code for yourself.

Sure, it is all pretty confusing to be honest.

As mentioned elsewhere in this discussion AdBlock is not Adblock Plus. The second link you posted is for the Adblock Plus source code.

Unfortunately at the moment the AdBlock Git repository is not public, but I have set up this unofficial one that tracks the changes between each zip published on their releases page. https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock

Specifically if you want to see what they've changed so far have a look at the last couple of commits https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/commit/afff2b47024f3a55... https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/commit/f1f52f47e276d29e...

Or with the new version it's `P o` (Push, other).

For anyone who loves Magit as much as me there's a donations page http://magit.vc/donations.html

What I don't understand is how you figure out where the closest fibre access point is. I'm trying to get my head around how to carry out a project similar to this / B4RN and the first step seems to be to check if there's a fibre access point reasonably close by.

Oh I didn't use them to book, only to check which train I needed to catch.

Cool, that looks really useful. The number of times I've had to fumble on thetrainline with patchy reception! Do you know any websites that figure out the cheapest combination of tickets to get you to your destination? (Sometimes buying several tickets for legs of your journey is cheaper than buying one ticket for it.)

I think drdaeman meant trivial to use / learn. Like Google search, an incredibly complicated system that's trivial to operate. (Also I sometimes read the AngularJS source when I'm stuck reading the documentation, to be fair it's pretty easy to grok, I submitted my first little pull request a couple of hours after getting an idea.)

(Another solution is to have a directory for each post containing an index html file. I do it that way myself using Jekyll.)

Nicely put, reading through your list I realise I've used half of it too! What a waste :(

I did for what it's worth, for exactly this kind of reason. I needed my computer to just work so I could.

Apparently he's OK http://www.fsf.org/news/richard-stallman-speech-in-barcelona...

Does anyone know of a good book about Ooka Tadasuke? He sounds like an interesting guy to read about.

I wrote an app that puts Facebook birthdays (and events) in Google calendar a while back: http://calenderp.appspot.com

(Just re-writing it now actually, few improvements here and this time I'm doing it in Clojure.)

Do any of these IRB alternatives support multi-line history? I want to define a function, press up and have the whole function definition there instead of the last line of it -- how it works with Clojure's REPL.

Thanks for making this, it's great.

I'd just donated to Wikileaks and PayPal wont let me close my account until next week when it's cleared. I hope they actually see the money :o

(That sounded sarcastic in hindsight but it wasn't)

Ooo I can't wait

Firefox only required the reboot due to an OS limitation by the sounds of it though, I didn't have to reboot my linux box or my macbook.

I read this as "Don't do/marry career women" to start with.

The author is well known for being a troll in some IRC channels as well.

Yea I have learned this lesson myself, it's true. I think a lot of the time it costs you more to do the work than to walk away.

Microsoft's response is great:

Q: What fixes or patches are you putting in place to resolve this situation? This situation should remedy itself over the next 24 hours as the time flips to January 1st.

Q: What's the timeline on a fix? The issue Zune 30GB customers are experiencing today will self resolve as time changes to January 1.

Q: Why did this occur at precisely 12:01 a.m. on December 31, 2008? There is a bug in the internal clock driver causing the 30GB device to improperly handle the last day of a leap year.

Q: What is Zune doing to fix this issue? The issue should resolve itself.

Emacs here, just watch some of the screencasts that are floating about if you want to see what it can do.

The pirate bay would be a good choice :D

I think I'm the only one not cool enough to know but what is this?
