Touch typing Out of curiosity: How many of you know how to touch type? I can't. I can type pretty quickly using 6 fingers or so, but I always look at the keyboard while doing so. I hardly look at the screen at all. I can even see myself making typos without looki...

(perl-compatible) Regex-fu wanted I need some help on a particular (perl-compatible) regular expression. Say, I want to match question marks in an SQL query, e.g: "SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE field1=?". However, it should only match question marks that are not in a string....

How should I release my source code under GPL but not my art/music? Please use an OSI certified license. They work, and are pretty well known and well understood. There's no difference between using a random license found in a random project somewhere on the web and writing your own license (both are generally b...

How should I release my source code under GPL but not my art/music? "Frets on Fire" is a game where the source is released as GPL but the artwork (specifically, the songs) are not. You could have a look at that. Also, ID software has released the source code of many games under a GPL license, without the artw...

[PHP/HTML] help in processing textarea nl2br() will work. The problem with your original code is that you are using single quotes around the \n in str_replace(). \n only matches a newline in a double quoted string, e.g "\n". In single quotes, it matches a literal backslash + letter n...

Coding in bed Laptop here too. I use Linux. Thanks to the Awesome Window Manager (a programmable, tiling WM), Vimpertor (makes Firefox look and work like Vim) and Vim itself, I don't need to use a mouse at all. Perfect for coding in bed, on the couch, in the...

Linux use and development, finally... Another happy Vim user here. Out-of-the-box Vim is a good editor but not terribly useful. But there are hundreds of plugins that make it great for any kind of editor. Personally I use Netrw, surround, VIP (lots of PHP tools), xdebug, taglist, bufexpl...

OpenGL without X on NVIDIA They're X-drivers after all. If you want OpenGL without X, see if you can hack the Nouveau drivers. Or have a look at Wayland, an alternative to X.org.

.org vs .com for an open source project? Yup, get both. Make one canonical and redirect the other to the canonical one. If it's a pure non-commercial FOSS project I'd make the .org the canonical one and redirect the .com domain. If you plan to offer commercial services alongs...
