I got rid of my car when I moved to San Francisco. I haven't missed it.

This might be a good alternative for someplace like my company where team members are in different time zones. When I'm getting to work around 9 in SF, it's already evening for the team members in Bulgaria.

The current notation works & musicians have been learning & using it for centuries. I'm not a musician, but I've learned to read traditional music notation. It's not that hard. Why fix what isn't broken?

Opera's rendering was never the worst thing about it. The thing I always hated about it was its clunky bizarre UI.

I'm not familiar with AppTrap, but I use Hazel for that and a lot more. In addition to moving associated files to the trash when you move an app to the trash, it also lets you create your own rules for things like sorting & color coding downloads, removing backups older than a particular age, and automatically deleting trashed files over a certain size or that were sitting in the trash for a certain time.

It doesn't take a SEO to 'game' Google. Case in point: "Santorum". No SEO was involved, just organic gaming of the system.

I don't believe in SEO. I've always felt that they're just one tiny step above spammers. When one contacts me, I just tell them to go f* themselves.

That's a result of how metering works - it assumes you want a brightly lit scene. You'll either need to use manual exposure or use one of the spot metering modes, where it measures only the brightness of a focal point rather than the overall scene brightness and tries to compensate.

I've never been a fan of Sublime Text because it doesn't feel like a native Mac app. They lost me when they made the preferences command open a window to edit a settings file. Both BBEdit (still my favorite) and TextMate feel much more native & user friendly.
