Tried to use `screen` with Terminal yet? > You'll be wallowing in the hate for hours once you give that a go... Yes, I use screen all the time. Haven't yet found how that's a problem. Well, in the beginning things would wrap unnecessarily, but I think I accedentally hit some setting somewhere (no undo, no apply - every misclick is definitive instantly - so hateful) that may have made this better than it was. > > I hate how Safari won't let me hide referrer headers. I meant referer, by the way. Another huge hate. > Tried setting up the local Apache instance as a cleansing proxy? That sounds like even more work than configuration, which as you just explained can take a lot of your time. Besides that, I sometimes do want the referer header. I'd like a setting that lets me use them like cookies are accepted: only from/to the same domain. > > I hate how there is absolutely no telling how keys like home and end > > will behave in a text input box. > So don't use them. In most cases, Emacs keybindings will work just fine. Except when they don't, and that inconsistency is what I hate. > > I hate that you can't just drag an image to the desktop from a browser > > to save the image there or use it as wallpaper. > Sure you can!

What > browser are you seeing this behaviour with? When I drag an image from browser to desktop, it puts a link to the image there. Which works just as well, except it always uses a browser and stops working when the image is no longer online at that address. I recall it was with both Firefox and Safari, but I'm not sure. Currently, I'm at the office, where I thankfully use a KDE desktop. > > I hate that there's no easy way to find out where diskspace is going > > (like KDE's blocked view in Konqueror). > MenuMeters can help with this, I think... Not really - I want to know that my Movies folder is taking up all the space, so I know where to start cleaning up, not just that it's time to clean up. What I want is like <http://juerd.nl/filesize.png>;. (Hmm, hateful - ksnapshot can't include the cursor.) If MM does this, I'm interpreting the screenshots wrong. > Yes, this is annoying.
