Edit your files with VIM as per usual. Also keep them open in your GUI IDE of choice. Most IDEs detect file changes and will either ask you to reload the files or you can sometimes set options to automatically reload. Now you have the best of both worlds on top of the same source code files - you have all the features of each solution. Also set up your GUI IDE to launch VIM on a source file using a keystroke.

I've also seen similar questions having lots of great voted answers on StackOverflow.com. For example, see these similar questions: http://www.google.ca/search?q=Teach+Year+Old+To+Program%3F+site:stackoverflow.com

Can you imagine if ./ displayed all the titles now that might be correct in the future... we'd need a special topic dedicated to trends, forecasts and future-telling.

Pystar might as well milk the publicity for more attention and sales. If they shut down now they won't be able to ride the wave.

Sure the web always wins; however that doesn't mean Mozilla will win any more than Apple, because there are many other companies on the web too, using the web, developing features based on the web standards, creating new web standards.

Except that the said mechanism provides a sure way to verify that an email address exists. Once an addy is correctly guessed the user cannot pretend to hide by not responding to resulting spam, because that account is *known* to exist prior to spamming (not a shot in the dark like most spam attempts) And it's known for sure because StackOverflow requires a valid email address when a user signs up for an account - to carry out StackOverflow account verification through an email link sent to the user for clicking. In other words, one layer of protection has been taken away, although I think it's very topical and personally am not worried about my SO account because the associated Gmail account filters out spam great.

I totally agree with keeping the code writing at home. Outsourcing it causes obvious problems like this recent one, and likely isn't as cost effective in the long run all things considered. Also agreed they bear the responsibility. In fact seeing another article on Slashdot today saying Microsoft has taken the responsibility and suspected the offending project - so they are doing as they should and not trying to hide or justify it. All in all, hope this is a good enough reasons for such companies to decide to keep their code writing at home. My fingers are crossed.

Folks it's Microsoft "China" which means the Chinese culture working in a Microsoft owned building in China. There is likely major cultural misunderstanding or forces that are at work here beyond the fact the brand is Microsoft. That's a very hard thing to manage for any transcontinental company.

Somebody should create closed source versions of the open source projects that are most often ripped off. Then give away (or sell) the proprietary versions. I don't mean fork it. I mean from scratch, in a clean room environment, to keep it untainted. It's the reverse situation of making an open source alternative to a free product.

If they had be found to be orbiting 72 Virginis then a certain religious theory might have become more feasible. But no ...still pending evidence.

It'll make the boss make everybody get white noise generators. Forget the music policy change because it'll still stick.

Choosing a minor app that takes 189 freaking MB of memory for nothing but displaying sticky notes on the screen

The majority of that 189 MB is shared by all programs that need the Mono Framework. It's important to note that it's not duplicated for each app - the framework needs to be installed only once. Framing 189 MB in context of only one app can skew the reader's understanding of how the technology works.

Snafu cleared up and Microsoft didn't act evil about it, so nothing really to do here. Next article please.
