how to know if mail drop for your address has happened already for the day?

So simple - why can't USPS put the BMW logo on their vans and think about being more effective and innovative?

Ultimate IDE

How many times have you been working on a project and had to go to an online forum to get help on a certain issue?

How about your IDE ask you what forums you are subscribed to (suggest some good ones - will force forums to maintain some standards - no Dick Cheney allowed, etc).

Then, before you start a particular piece of work, you describe what you're trying to do and some intermediate milestones you expect to accomplish. Then, it checks out the forums and, you have your help ready and waiting..

Cadence++ : Using Touch to Improve Productivity

Have you heard Richard Restak, der neuroscientist, say that cognitive ability is higher when one is looking down? What gives?

Anyhow, I'm surprised that Cadence hasn't jumped on this - I can just see myself whacking out layout so much faster if I'm looking down at the desk, touching a component to select it (or more than one), doing a twist gesture to rotate, etc. Pinch zoom would also be cool.. Come on Cadence, are you begging for another SR from me?

man++

Go in a web browswer and type "man something" and you should usually get the unix man page for the command "something" as the first match.

man++ : be able to type something like "man mount -tjffs2" and you get

mount - mount a filesystem

-tjffs2 : inferred to mean vfstype is "jffs2"



You get the idea. User came looking to find out what an option means. You save him the pain of reading the whole man page to find out what a particular option, or options mean..
