Better late than never

One of the most often requested features in the private browsing support for Firefox has been the ability to open a private window without needing to close the entire session. Over the past 19 months, we have been working on […] to make it possible to open a private window without needing to close down the entire non-private session, and today, I’m happy to announce that we now have the first experimental builds with this feature ready for testing.

Feature disponible depuis longtemps sous Chrome. C’est d’ailleurs ça qui m’a fait switcher définitivement.

Good Cop

On a cold November night in Times Square, Officer Lawrence DePrimo was working a counterterrorism post when he encountered an older, barefooted homeless man. The officer disappeared for a moment, then returned with a new pair of boots, and knelt to help the man put them on.

[I] was visiting Times Square with [my] husband Nov. 14 when [we] saw a shoeless man asking for change […] Right when I was about to approach, one of your officers came up behind him.
[…]
The officer said, « I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let’s put them on and take care of you. » The officer squatted down on the ground and proceeded to put socks and the new boots on this man.

Wget et Sourceforge

Avec Sourceforge, lorsque l’on récupère l’URL d’un fichier, elle ressemble souvent à ceci :

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/filezilla/FileZilla_Client/3.6.0.1/FileZilla_3.6.0.1_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Ffilezilla%2Ffiles%2FFileZilla_Client%2F3.6.0.1%2F&ts=1354181060&use_mirror=switch

Ce qui amène un résultat pas très esthétique lorsque l’on télécharge le fichier via wget.

Une petite astuce pour avoir un beau fichier :

wget « http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/filezilla/FileZilla_Client/3.6.0.1/FileZilla_3.6.0.1_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Ffilezilla%2Ffiles%2FFileZilla_Client%2F3.6.0.1%2F&ts=1354181060&use_mirror=switch » -O mon.fichier.tar.bz2
