Homebrew includes that patch, and the recipe has been updated for emacs 24.

  brew update  
  # Lion only (or if you don't have xcode?)  
  brew tap homebrew/dupes  
  brew install apple-gcc42  
  # put these in your .bashrc  
  export HOMEBREW_USE_GCC=1  
  export HOMEBREW_VERBOSE=1  
  # /Lion only  
  brew install emacs --cocoa  
  brew linkapps

Thanks for the link. It's a shame that functionality isn't built into VS (especially when it costs half as much as VS pro).

I did know what you meant by noscript, just using the plugin as an example of non-javascript users :-). No cookies? You are a masochist. Another reason I like ghostery -- it blocks the cookies that I don't like.

That's true. It seems like javascript disabling is just not on the minds of web developers. You have to be a special kind of masochist to use noscript these days... I used it for years, but ghostery covers most of what I liked about it.

H(Salt . H(Password)) is a lot like an hmac (minus the secret part and the padding). I'm not sure about the pre-image vulnerability mentioned on wikipedia's md5 page, but as for collision vulnerabilities, according to wikipedia's hmac page, "HMACs are substantially less affected by collisions than their underlying hashing algorithms alone. Therefore, HMAC-MD5 does not suffer from the same weaknesses that have been found in MD5."

Comment to the author: use cmd-` while you are command tabbing if you go too far! Similarly useful, hold cmd-tab and it will stop at the end. Also, cmd-esc if you decide not to switch.

I used a 15" MBP for a long time without missing a tiling window manager that much... but the problem was exaggerated when I started using a 27" imac. So I looked around and started using spectacle. Great utility. I use Quicksilver's "open application" custom triggers to get the app switching behavior, so I finally have a use for F15-F19 (on the very left side of my keyboard)! It has made a big difference for me.

One problem I would like to solve is switching between multiple emacsen. I have an 8:00-5:00 job and work on my own stuff after that, and I like to keep my buffer lists separate (so I can't just use multiple frames). Therefore, I open emacs again from the terminal and I wish I could switch between them with quicksilver's shortcut. Alas, quicksilver always brings up the first one. Has anyone dealt with this?
