I use it on every system I work on... It's my standard editor on Windows XP (gvim anyway), Cygwin under WXP, Solaris, and Mac OSX. I don't use linux often any more, but it was my default editor then as well.

I've had co-workers laugh at me when I'm at the keyboard using an IDE and start typing jjjjjjjjjjjj.

Damn straight ... On my calendar, it's October 25, 14,317,304,002.

That never gets old.

Ok, I agree with you on Goatse, but c'mon ... Ogg was occasionally funny while Hot Gritz and Natalie Portman (naked and petrified, of course) were classics!

Low UID dickwars are soooo 1999.

I try not to consume any computers ... very hard on the esophagus and stomach.

Wax pencils?

This post really takes me back those 14 years to grad school... like the parent, I found out about /. in the pre-user account days when another grad student in my office kept talking about the site. Again, like the parent, I didn't actually register early enough for a cool UID, but low-5 digits is close enough to old school for this story to bring a single tear to my eye.

Times, they are a changing, and I for one am not too sure I like where they are headed.

Bon voyage, Rob, and indeed, thanks for all the fish wrapper.

No, not the doctrine ... this policy just decreases the likelihood of garnering first sales. What a clever plan. If nobody buys the game in the first place, they've effectively wiped out the after-market.

Brilliant!

NWA, bitchez!

Wow ... I've had entirely different experiences than you have.

I have had my personal email address for quite some time (5-digit UID and it's the same email address with which I registered my /. account, so 1998?). About a year ago, I got a reply to an Emily Wright. Luckily, the original email had her correct address (same as mine, but with a digit). Apparently, she goofed on setting up the reply-to in her email client.

Anyway, I forwarded her the email explaining the problem and giving pointers on how to fix the problem. Well, Emily replied and accused me of hacking her email account and flat out insisted that she owned my email address and had been using it for the past two years (or about a decade less than I've had the account).

My attitude went from "helpful technology capable guy" to "fuck you, you arrogant bitch". Now, anything addressed to Emily goes straight to the trash can, no matter how important it appears to be.

Deep Sea Pressure and 20,000 feet, 30 days

I think they can up their estimated duration by an order of magnitude now...

Was thinking the same thing. I may check the weather, but I always have to turn off the damn alarm!
