Hi, Its really nice if u add those tab lines in the background with on/off as well as with opacity & color setting.

(Sen) - The Japanese space agency JAXA is developing a revolutionary concept to put “power stations” in orbit to capture sunlight and beam it to Earth.

The country has been looking for new power sources following the devastating earthquake and tsunami in March, 2011, that destroyed much of the north-east of the country and caused a meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Many of the country’s nuclear reactors were closed due to stricter safety regulations after the emergency. Now JAXA is aiming to set up a Space Solar Power System (SSPS) by 2030. An array of mirrors would sit in geostationary orbit to collect solar energy and then transmits it to a power plant on the ground via microwaves or laser beams. There it could be used to generate electricity and hydrogen.

Proponents of the technology say that it would provide continuous energy without any worry that resources would be depleted. It would be unaffected by the time of day or weather and would provide environmentally friendly, clean energy.

Interestingly, the idea is not a new one. An American, Dr Peter Glaser, designed a similar concept in 1968 to deploy large solar panels in space to generate power and convert it into microwaves to transmit to the ground. Following studies by NASA and the US Department of Energy, the project was deemed too costly and it was never developed.

Similar studies have been carried out in Europe. The idea is also reminiscent of a Russian plan in the 1990s to use mirrors to beam sunlight to the ground at night. This had astronomers and environmentalists up in arms because of the light pollution it would have caused. The Japanese concept is different because there would be no stray light emitted from the beam.

Yasuyuki Fukumuro is leading research and planning for SSPS. He says: “We have not yet decided whether to use microwaves or laser beams with SSPS, or whether we will somehow combine them. We are currently conducting ground-based experiments to find the most efficient way to transmit energy.

“Regardless of which transmission technology we use, when we collect sunlight from outside the Earth’s atmosphere, we can get a continuous supply of it, with almost no influence from the weather, the seasons, or time of day, allowing very efficient collection of solar energy.

“And since the energy source is the Sun, it’s an endlessly renewable resource - it won’t run out as long as the Sun is there. Also, because the power is generated in space and carbon dioxide is emitted only at the receiving site, emissions within the Earth’s atmosphere can be greatly reduced, which makes this technology very friendly to the environment.”

Fukumuro admits the system has its challenges. He says: “When transmitting power by microwaves, a significant technological challenge is how to control the direction, and transmit it with pinpoint accuracy from a geostationary orbit to a receiving site on the ground. Transmitting microwaves from an altitude of 36,000 km to a flat surface 3 km in diameter will be like threading a needle.”

Fukumuro suggests the technology will also be useful in disaster situations. In the event of a blackout, a collecting dish could be unfolded and deployed to receive microwaves from space for conversion into electrical energy.

JAXA is working with a collective of machining and engineering companies called Kyoto Shisaku Net to develop the array of reflectors that would be lifted into orbit by reusable shuttle-like spacecraft and then assemble themselves.

JAXA Engineer and Senior Researcher Katsuto Kisara says: “The biggest problem we’ve encountered with the project is developing solar mirrors that are incredibly lightweight. I think that there is certainly a way to do it, but it has presented quite the challenge.”

XML files could use colored nested tags as pictured (or a little smarter based on tag name). I know this would clash with color themes and such, and this is already a "sublime" editor anyway (since the minimap saves me much trouble in exactly the situations I wish for this). Colored tags, highlighted scope (fully colored lines instead of underlined tags) or something else to the effect of telling where I am and where that "where" starts and ends in some large XML file is my wish.

This would be analogous to LISP editors that color nested parens with different colors to easily distinguish the depth of some block you're viewing.

This would be a greatly valued feature!

Expression: Effect: 

\i Replace with numbers starting from 1, incrementing by 1. 

\i(10) Replace with numbers starting from 10, incrementing by 1. 

\i(0,10) Replace with numbers starting from 0, incrementing by 10. 

\i(100,-10) Replace with numbers starting from 100, decrementing by -10. 

There are other, lesser, IDEs that replicate this functionality. A little bit of Python functionality in the replace field could address this issue. Python functionality in the replace field could address a lot of issues.

I want to bring Sublime Text into a big company but there is a proxy server that requires authentication and I won't be able to get approval to bring this in from the security team if I have to put my user/pass in clear text to use Package Control.  It would be great if Sublime Text could somehow hook into Windows > Internet Options > Local Area Network Settings > Proxy server.

It would be great if we could expand a tab group so that it takes up the full width of the screen (so that the layout looks like it goes to a single column, instead of two). There would be an icon next to the first tab of each group and a vertical bar next to the sidebar could show you what groups are available (and allow you to swap between groups). Please see image below as a potential mock-up.

Environmental effects: It’s our doing“Because the rates of emissions are growing, it looks like we could burn through the other half in the next 25 years” under one of the more dire scenarios outlined in the report.

Other scenarios show that the threshold will be reached later this century. The finding constitutes a warning to governments to cut emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, which is generated by the burning of fossil fuels, industrial activity and deforestation.

Calling climate change “the greatest challenge of our time,” panel co-chair Thomas Stocker said humankind’s fate in the next 100 years “depends crucially on how much carbon dioxide will be emitted in the future”.

In the report, the panel said it is 95% certain that human activity is the dominant cause of the global warming observed since the 1950s. That is up from 90% six years ago.

“Human influence has been detected in warming of the atmosphere and the ocean, in changes in the global water cycle, in reductions in snow and ice, in global mean sea level rise, and in changes in some climate extremes,” the report said.

The report is the panel’s fifth major assessment since 1990. It reaffirms many of the conclusions of past reports, but with greater confidence.

“The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, sea level has risen and the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased,” the panel wrote in a 36-page summary of its findings.

Is there a package that can re-DOM the inline style into classes? Thanks heaps.

Hi, this is not really sublimes fault but I think it could be handled better. If you unmount the filesystem that sublime is running on the whole application freezes and you have to force quit. I've only used sublime on Mac OSX, but I would expect the same thing to happen on Linux or windows. It would be nice if there was some sort of error message and or option to save in a new location when this happens. Really anything other than the hangup that happens now. 

--Edit: Forgot to mention sublime version.

Please, just add it to the options, and don't ask for saving unsaved.
