I very often use j & k to move up/down lines. I use h & l much less frequently, as w, e, & b are usually better for that anyway. As for hitting escape, I'm almost always in command mode anyway; I don't type and occasionally escape to command mode, but rather am in command mode and occasionally insert text.

In the time we all spend reviewing my code, we could have each fixed separate bugs in the software or completed a new feature.

Look at your last 50 or 100 bug fixes. How many of them could have been caught with a simple review? Take that data and apply it to your statement here: perhaps in the time you spend having your code reviewed, you and your coworkers will fix more bugs than you would have separately. It's just that bugs not submitted aren't as visible to anyone outside those people.

Try it. Keep some metrics on "bugs" found. You might be surprised.

It's funny.  Laugh.

Diebold Leaks 2008 Election Results 196

samzenpus writes "With all the scrutiny that Diebold has received in past few years you'd think that they would be more careful but apparently due to a malfunction in some machines, they have leaked the results to the 2008 presidential race early. Hopefully this will be the nail in Diebold's coffin. Surely we have another company in this country that can run a sham election better."

Apple Lawyering Up On "Fake Steve Jobs" 346

An anonymous reader sends us to The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs for a developing situation. Daniel Lyons, a.k.a. Fake Steve Jobs, made a post earlier today revealing that Apple was offering him some money (in the wake of the ThinkSecret shutdown) to close down his blog. He said he was interested in taking it. A few hours later, Lyons posted again revealing that Apple's lawyers had contacted him angrily, saying the details of the deal were supposed to remain private. Fake Steve replied 'we either deal out in the open, completely transparently, or we don't deal.' A third post gives details of Apple's lawyers' next response, going totally medieval on him. Since then the situation has calmed down a bit.
