If you put 'histcontrol=ignorespace' or 'histcontrol=ignoredups' in your ~/.bashrc file it will not record commands that begin with a space [1]. I believe that 'ignoreboth' is the default on many Linux distros.
It really needs to pop more though. I noticed the links to the top-left and top-right of the select and really wondered why they aren't forward/back arrows. They could at least have chevrons.
when I want something all it takes is a single keypress and to start typing. No navigating an arbitrary hierarchy of menus where how things are filed made sense at the time they were filed. It just finds the damn thing
Wasn't this available in the Win7 (and maybe Vista) start menu?
Yes, but it wasn't obvious. The groovy corduroy paisley bell bottom paradigm of the 1970's was front and center - I think the search came in with Seven, but I skipped Vista.
And scrolling with the mouse wheel when I insist on using Windows 8 in the old paradigm is much better than clicking through a menu tree.
will be a free update to Windows 8 for consumers through the Windows Store
This could be to get more people to link their Microsoft ID with their Windows user accounts so that they will be more likely to use the store in the future. The alternative would be to release it through Windows Update like every other Windows patch for the last decade+.
I miss the pre-iphone era where your devices din't require registration with the manufacture to be used/updated/upgraded. Sad to see even desktops and laptops moving towards that direction.
i think it will be interesting to see how this works. I'm not 100 percent sure, but i think the store basically cannot update apps and functions outside its modern UI jail, right?
The store can do whatever Microsoft wants it to be able to do. Updating and installing apps necessarily involves more permission than the apps themselves have access to.
The article didn't really explain the justification for the crackdown on Subutex except for the usual "drugs are bad, mmmkay". It seems like Subutex is a good cure for misery without serious side effects.

As well as all the complications that come from self-injecting with potentially non-sterile equipment, and of things not intended for IV use (crushed pills have a number of inactive different binders and fillers that don't dissolve and get lodged somewhere in the body, typically the lungs[2]) It's metabolism can be pretty hard on the liver as well, which is a major concern if users have hepatitis from needle sharing/reuse.
Another big problem is that since it operates as an opioid receptor anagonist (rather than an agonist, as practically all other opioids), the usual treatment for overdose -- Naloxone -- won't work very well. Buprenorphine also has a fairly hard effectiveness ceiling at ~32mg/day (although it would be a lucky/rich addict indeed who could afford that at €300/8mg quoted in the article)
Finally, if an addict ends up in hospital or requires strong pain-relief, there's not a lot of options because the blockade effect will prevent (afaik) virtually all other opioids from working.
I assume it's because the mob eventually got involved. Plus, the authors comment about his first trip there makes me think they wanted to clean up the country so as to not scare off tourists.
I don't think I'd want to use a domain registrar run by people who think that using the mustache meme on their "About Us" page [1] is professional. I'm not usually prudish about language or jokes, but hosting and domains are serious business.
I can understand why you'd be turned off by that but at least it's on a page that doesn't necessarily have to be serious. You're learning about the company and this is part of their culture. In fact, that's a great example of a company showing personality without resorting to crude language.
Doesn't that mean tracking?
