Symbolic links are similar to aliases, in the sense that they are shortcuts that link to a specific file or folder. But symbolic links are often more useful than aliases: For example, if you put an alias in your Dropbox folder, it will sync just the alias file; put a sym link in that folder, and Dropbox will sync the original file that link points to. And aliases won't work in OS X's Unix-based tools, including Terminal; sym links will.
I revisited this hint recently. This script should be compatible with Tiger and higher system versions. It tries to make tandem windows from bottom of the screen up from the first two eligible Finder windows. If only one eligible window is available, it uses that one and creates another, and if no eligible windows are available, it creates and arranges two. It doesn't respect Spaces, so if a single eligible window exists, the existing window and the new window may end up in different spaces.

HTML5 Boilerplate is the professional badass's base HTML/CSS/JS template for a fast, robust and future-proof site. After more than two years in iterative development, you get the best of the best practices baked in: cross-browser normalization, performance optimizations, even optional features like cross-domain ajax and flash. A starter apache .htaccess config file hooks you the eff up with caching rules and preps your site to serve HTML5 video, use @font-face, and get your gzip zipple on. Boilerplate is not a framework, nor does it prescribe any philosophy of development, it's just got some tricks to get your project off the ground quickly and right-footed.
