In the Netherlands the car is always at least 50% at fault in accidents with squishy traffic (cyclists, pedestrians, skaters etc). This motivates people to look carefully before opening doors :) It might look like risk taking but because of laws like this and excellent road design it is actually very save.

Unmaintained ports are not constant hand-holding.

The split client and web interface gui were awesome. I used to leave the client running at home and would use the web interface to queue downloads while at work which would then download to my home pc.

They also had an ftp server search index where you could find even more obscure stuff.

Re:How we shifted 6Wunderkinder to Wunderlist, again on Thursday September 06, 2012 @12:02PM (#4484736)
Have you read the article? They're moving away from titanium to native apps:

> So we decided to rebuild Wunderlist for all major platforms (Web, iOS, Android Mac & Windows)

The android client hasn't been a wrapper for a long time, and the new iOS version we don't know, since it's not yet released.

If you resize your browser to make it smaller it renders as one column.

Whether you like it or not, power users are probably the only audience left for a linux DE that's no longer the default on the most newbie friendly distro's. The rest of the world is never going to see it.

Open source is very much about scratching one's own itch

Re:Numbers.vim - better line numbers for vim on Thursday June 28, 2012 @01:39PM (#4172834)
There's also https://github.com/jeffkreeftmeijer/vim-numbertoggle which seems to do the same thing. I've been using that for a few months but i'm still not sure it's actually an improvement. It gets in the way almost as much as being actually useful.
Re:Comparing Titanium And PhoneGap on Thursday May 10, 2012 @06:38AM (#3952739)
The first Wunderlist for android was a Titanium app, but is was very slow and unusable. They rebuild it again natively: http://www.6wunderkinder.com/blog/2011/09/05/wunderlist-for-...

I think the IOS version is still Titanium?

A high performing Titanium example on android would interest me also.

(Being Dutch) I've never heard of Dutch people not wanting to watch Black Book because it depicts the collaboration between Dutch people and the Nazi's. Claims like that don't do much for the credibility of the rest of your comment.
