Gajim and XMPP is still used out there? I miss the days when I could use pidgin for chat apps.

Do you have any tip for android app that can provide some enhanced experience reading the pdf articles (like from ACM?) on Android mobile phone?

I don't mean generic PDF reader for Android. I'm looking for something that provides similar user experience like Firefox's "reader view". Is there something like that?

Yes, I'm serious! Amarok works for me. I use it on Linux and on Windows. I do agree with unstable (but not "highly" unstable in my case). Unresponsive UI is something I encounter seldom.

Amarok? Have you tried that one?

Re:DuckDuckGo Regex Search on Tuesday July 08, 2014 @08:05AM (#8004065)
Google does not implement regex search support because they said somewhere that the data storage needed for the index would be huge. And since regex search is used only by a small subset of users, it is not worth the effort.
