Which ssh client supports the <return><tilde>|rz<return> key combo? I'm not seeing it in openssh.

[gusfoo → skyjumper]

OpenSSH supports "~" as an escape character when it's the first character on a line. So try "<return>~?" to see a list of available commands.

Is there a way to pipe output to another program the way buserror described?

Another diet to experiment with is the No Starch Diet. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence suggesting that starches somehow trigger an autoimmune reaction in some people leading to Ankylosing Spondylitis and possibly others like Irritable Bowel Disease.

It's not an easy diet to follow, but the food test is simple - red iodine turns blackish blue in contact with starch.

On: PIE: Add CSS3 border-radius and multiple backgrounds to IE 6-8

This is a (my) similar project: http://fetchak.com/ie-css3/

A 2.0 rewrite is almost ready, will support different border-radius sizes per corner and any color of box-shadow.

The gradient thing is nice. Beat me to it. :)

It sounds like they're arguing for authenticity rather than opinion, pushing back against phony centrism in reporting.

Any reform involving private schools in the US needs to be wary of its effect on ideological and cultural divides. We already prefer to live near like-minded people, it's not a stretch to assume we'd send our kids to like-minded schools.

To be more specific, we don't want our school system to become a proxy for culture wars - individual schools marketing themselves to parents as a place which builds proper (liberals|conservatives|tea partiers|greens|etc).

No matter what shape reform takes, society needs to make sure its people get a well rounded education.
