The "powered by emacs" thing at the bottom is NOT irony.
Do people even know what irony is nowadays?

I have heard many people complaining about this song, and I think it is misundrestood.
The ironic part aren't the examples. The irony is implied in the chorus part:
"Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think evertyhing's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face"
Basicaly it says that sometimes when you expect things to go right, they go awfully wrong, and vice versa. That's exactly the definition of irony

Charityware is a nice idea!
Only trouble is, I've got this image in my head now that won't go away - all those orphans in Uganda, each with their very own copy of Vim on floppy disk, looking around for a computer to install it on...

Oh... God...
That's just SO pathetic.
Accountability on the heads of the powerful.
Power in the hands of the accountable.
