Hey, it's not that bad, it's strapline does include "sarcasm", after all. This is an ancient debate and deserves a smile or two on this auspicious occasion - modernising vi / vim is a laudable goal.
Think about the comfort and ease of use, if one could use Alt-Gr for the shortcuts in Vim, and ALT-TAB etc. to switch instantly for other GUI apps (SSH, Seamonkey, etc.). A long-awaited blend of the old and the new.
Do you really have hairy feet?
They should just roll back to Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and start from there. It's bloody good, and all this is a bloody shame. They were just getting good and learning from the UNIX crowd about security and user space. Aero is gorgeous and efficient. And they threw all the best bits I got excited about in the bin - and no I didn't get excited about Vista - 7 runs better on anything that runs Vista.
I've posted before about this calamity that is removing Windows 7 from the shelves for this 8 nonsense.
Wow, that's a fast downlink, never mind uplink.
I'm a bandwidth-starved Brit from the Northwest backwaters, one of the first to get fibre (spelt correctly) in Leyland, Lancashire - and then use it to spread anarchy in the form of recycled computers with pirated windows and learning software (and yes, games) through that hell-hole, enlightening many a disillusioned soul suffering from the negative effects of the DAF fallout...
So how exactly are you doing that, Sir? And can I come play with it, please? Rachel
I knew they were new here when I saw the UID... another feature missing from the comments on the Beta.
It's not the lowest, but I'm proud of mine, at least it shows I'm not some muggle who grew up with nothing but Pentiums and pseudo-code / Windows API / scripting being the only shops in town...
I was going to mod you into oblivion for being a troll, but I did due diligence first and looked at the homepage!
Ah, I think I get what you're trying to explain to me, you're saying that injection moulding and other trad methods can be beat on price, by current printers, for niche (short-run) products? Is this the case?
This is the first materials advance I've seen in ages, bar superficial things like the ability to make ridiculously expensive full-colour prototypes of things that need moulding to make en masse.
Best. Comment. Yet.
In fact, so good, that I'm only posting this in return for a cid so that *I* can come back here, and do exactly the same thing!!!
I've been saying it since modems and HDDs first began to grace the consoles, ESPECIALLY the Microsoft ones... after all, critical mass, monetization of the online services, and collection of personal data make it an almost inevitable, and high-value, target right now. Not the mention the possibilities for using all that excess CPU and GPU as a distributed server farm.
Here's a fascinating chain of thought to leave you with - just how powerful would that server farm be? So powerful that it may even outweigh any of the other benefits of hacking consoles? Would a potential "owner" be more likely to leave personal data and short-term gains (cc info etc.) aside in order to "fly under the radar" whilst captaining the biggest ship (couldn't help it!) / server farm no-one ever knew about?
Well, if I'm not on the watchlist yet (ha!), I am now!
We're aware of it, which means we're on to it.
I reckon, with projects like Wayback already operating (and already saving, among other things, my election results, which have since moved around a lot on the City Council's rubbish website, old company sites I've created, various iterations of my personal site, and some of my +5 comments here) that there's a chance this comment (if modded up!) WILL be available in 100 years' time.
If so, hello everyone! You're reading 100 year old bits and bytes! The real question is, will they teach bits and bytes in 100 years' time, and will people be able to write their own parsers in 100 years' time?
