I sorely miss Microsoft Excel when working on Linux. The best alternative I found is none
other than google docs/spreadsheets.
The most useful and a much needed feature for me was conditional formating and I could not find in both LibreOffice(i.e., OpenOffice) and GNumeric.
We end up running our(single) app on multiple mongrels (a rails web server) in development.So naturally there is a need for sharing the cookies across these servers as if it is a single server(like in the production mode).
Except some versions of Internet Explorer all browsers by default treat different ports ( running on the same localhost machine) as different domains and block cooking from
being transferred one to other. Also noticed cookies set for localhost:3001 are not transferred to 127.0.0.1:3001.
This problem is also known as same origin policy.
There are multiple ways to get around this problem. The first one is to run an apache server and route the requests to either servers.
The other simpler solution is to disable security( i.e., same origin policy) in the browsers.
I prefer the second one as it is easy (at least to me).
On Firefox.
Try ( I could not get this one work though. YMMV)

On Chrome
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome –disable-web-security
