Sweet. The page has more tips as well like getting partial stuff from your history. I don’t know how much of this will work on OSX but it’s still neat to see.
Access to command line history in BASH
To activate those two commands, add this to your .bashrc file:

Really neat and nifty. This is for when you have those one liner strings of XML in a log or something (like CharlesProxy’s response pane) and you want to view it all nicely. Normally CharlesProxy does an excellent job… for well formatted XML. At least some code I was working with really wasn’t well formatted [...]

Since there are no drivers available to print to a shared Pixma MX330 that I am aware of, I have been unable to print to the printer. And because there are no drivers that allow the DNS-323 to host the Pixma MX330 as well, that was out, too.
The following did work though, except actually printing [...]

Since this is being developed for others, the final concensus is to uncheck it and leave a README.txt that explicitly says so.

And this states the issue well in a short sentence. Developing for Flash outside of the Flash IDE breaks into two camps if the “Automatically Declare Stage Instances” is checked or not. The solution mentioned below is another way (closer to the way I do) to get a reference not only as a movie clip [...]

I have done this for AS2 using Flash Develop, and something similar to it using PureMVC for a Flash CS3 project developed within FlexBuilder, but it’s nice to see it “approved” of sorts. The issue?
