Yes, perhaps we should stop using that. Nevertheless, the problem I was trying to address is that everyone is sharing /mail/tmp (see the scripts in /mail/lib, although I'm sure you know them from memory :) ), and thus if one has one problem, it can lock everyone else using /mail/tmp. I'll take a

It's a click on the wheel, *but*, unlike others I tried, it feels to me very much like an actual button. That is, the wheel does not spin or feel like spinning when you click. I'm talking about the logitech dinovo cordless. Are there others? For the purposes of this thread, let's say that

Well, if you don't have flush, your server is going to keep a request for each process that dies/aborts. If requests always complete quite soon it's not a problem, AFAIK, but your server may be keeping the request to reply when something happens. Also, there's the issue that the flushed request

o/live assumes that in many cases you may have a mouse with just one button and some way to issue mouse-3 clicks. (eg., touch pads). The result was the circular menu implementation and a different interaction language. However, it does not consider multitouch at all. From: eri...@gmail.com

If connection is slow (as the one I'm using now) increasing the abstraction level is a good thing to do. Merging low level input streams may patch up things for a while, but won't be enough if the connection is slower. Separating the viewer form the application reduces coupling a lot and makes
