Thank you developers and all, but I don't think I had much trouble copying text before. On the contrary, when I click on a field and it force select everything for me I get frustrated.

Trust me, selecting text is not a problem. I haven't seen a place where click to select was a life savior.


If anyone from IT calls you, you should be able to call them back at their extension. Or that's a red flag.

We used to have fun with William the "Windows Tech team agent" (from India) . He (They) would call us at least once a week. I think they might have had a successful attempt otherwise why would they keep calling.


I wouldn't say zero sense. When I watched sin city, I could smell the yellow guy. It all depends on how the story is presented. The color scheme of sin city definitely has sensory effect beyond what you can see.


great example! that's so true


This is Africa, we don't have the luxury of positive pressure spacesuit. They are dealing with a deadly virus with the tools they have.


Still, a full "remediation" suit (for dealing with old remodels or crawlspaces) including very fine vapor mask, very thick gloves and a full-body coverall can be had from 3M for ... $80 or so ?

I cleaned out a hayloft of our barn recently with far more protection (hanta virus) than what is being described here.

Who can I mail some 10-packs of 3M protective gear to ?


Contact MSF or the CDC and ask them what would help.

Don't make assumptions on what would help most from what you have seen in a press photo.

They may well have dressed down for the photo to encourage people to go along to the screening.


We can do lots of hacks, then the user clicks on print screen and its a done deal.


The point of this hack is that when the user clicks on print screen, they get a crapped-up version of the image.


My name is simple enough to be pronounced by anyone, at least that's what I thought. Then I realize in the US people had a hardtime remembering it because for them it is unusual.

Now I try to pronounce it the American way just so my name isn't the center of the conversation. I get surprised when I make a mistake and tell someone the correct way of pronouncing it and they get right the first time.


I am going to wait for the local version for this one. I am working on a project that needs the full browsing history including content. You might have read read it here on HN[1]

The goal is to make my computer a search engine that can also recommend articles based on the ones I have visited. It can also check websites to see if there is any new content.

The project is still in its very early stages and any tool I can use will be very helpful. This looks just like what I need.

You will be surprised how no one will care when you quit. Not that they don't care about you, but in a week it will be like you were never there.

Just imagine someone else in the team leaving and see what are the steps you will take to replace them. It will be easy to move on


I wish you good luck. I will be in the same boat in 2 days. Quitting your job is very hard especially when you are not going for another one. Working on your own project is exciting but the toll comes when you don't see progress for a while and these times will come believe me.

I too will be working on my own ideas but I know after the honey moon is over I will have to face the fact that I have no paychecks coming every two weeks. It will be hard, but if success was easy, everyone will be doing just that.

Again good luck, and I do think freelanceinbox is a neat project.


Good luck - and if it helps here is a quote that I find rather motivating (and yes, I do know what it is like to leave a steady job for your own project):

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

[It's an awesome quote made even better by the role it had in a fantastic sporting/political event - involving rugby so therefore doubly awesome]

That is epic. Needs to belong to the wall behind my monitors.


you can also check out zen pencils, prints are usually available http://zenpencils.com/comic/theodore-roosevelt-the-man-in-th...


I was working on the exact same tool. My links used to be spread all over the place and it was not searchable. Good work, this seems very useful.
