  1. Re:Perhaps on Avoiding Mistakes Can Be a Huge Mistake · · Score: 1

    But they gain good karma for their "insightful comments"

  2. Re:Yes on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, Neanderthal clones YOU!

  3. Re:question on Inside Dean Kamen's Seceded Island of Geekery · · Score: 1

    He cannot even try!
    He is afraid that he will infringe this patent!

  4. Re:I feel like the more people that use MAC... on Microsoft Feared Mac Vs. Vista In '05 · · Score: 1

    Gahh!!! If you follow the downward spiral even more you might end up watching those movies you downloaded with rtorrent with mplayer via aalib!!!

    Why not use the framebuffer output of mplayer for a real CLI experience? ;-)

  5. Press any key on It's Official, Australia Needs a Space Agency · · Score: 0, Troll

    Do they also need an agency for each other key of the keyboard?

  7. Re:imagine on Science's Alternative To an Intelligent Creator · · Score: 1

    Too much of anonymous to reveal her name and too much coward to reveal her presence.
    That's part of the god mystery, isn't it?

  8. Ice melitng on 40 Years Ago, the US Lost a Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    Now it is clear!
    Ice in the poles do not melt because of global warming but because of nuclear weapon detonation.

    Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore takes a whole new meaning now!

  9. Re:IP and Hardware addresses on (Useful) Stupid Regex Tricks? · · Score: 1

    That's a rather personal question Sir!

  10. Re:Why? on OpenSolaris 2008.11 – Year of the Laptop? · · Score: 1

    "Most of the world" is the tricky part.

    Maybe they could put mp3 codecs on the linux images hosted on servers of countries which software patents don't exist and/or check the IP of the computer downloading the image.

    And not to mention all other various things that may be illegal for some countries, e.g. strong encryption (US export rules)

    It's a total mess and if you want to be politically/legally correct you just have to take the safe route.

  11. Re:highlight and indent multiple times? on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 1

    If you want to indent e.g. 5 times, try 5> ;)

  12. Re:entering vim on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 1

    You can even open tarballs and edit them "in-place"!

  13. Re:Just using VIM on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 1
    % over a character like {}, (), [] takes you to the other end of the block.

    You can also combine it in something like d% to delete a whole block.

    On the "block part" again something I find really handy is also d/pattern, where pattern the place until which to delete.

  14. Re:Just using VIM on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 1

    And not to mention the handy :make which parses gcc output and moves you directly to the error line inside the editor

  15. Re:Just using VIM on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Try Windows/Meta key instead of Ctrl+Shift.
    It saves some fingers around ;)

  16. Re:Just using VIM on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 2, Informative
    Ctrl+V (Visual mode), select the lines I want, press : (which adds '<,'> automatically) and executing the command:
    :'<,'>s/^/#/
    Comments the lines in quite many languages

    For C I use this
    :'<,'>s+^+//+

  17. Re:rm -rf / on (Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? · · Score: 3, Funny
    Does having written rm -r . /var as root in the department mail server counts for the first case?

    A damn space more! Fortunately I realized that it was taking too much time to be the local var so I stopped before going into /var/mail.

  18. 8 Arms on Eight-Armed Animal Preceded Dinosaurs · · Score: 1

    Should be enough even for emacs

  19. Re:Chewan source on New Type of Particle May Have Been Found · · Score: 1

  23. Re:Options for revenue on Shuttleworth Says Canonical Is Not Cash-Flow Positive · · Score: 1
    Crapware with the OS, no thanks! It is one thing for a company to have some revenue, a totally different thing to bloat the OS with unneeded stuff!

    Anyone remember AOL/AT&T icons with Windows98 and all the stupid applications dell computers come with? Just my 2 examples.

  24. Re:Is this possible? on Google Demands Higher Chip Temps From Intel · · Score: 1
    How easily do people forget the plans?

    Let's hope this time Intel's "floating" point units will not have a bug!

  25. Re:Good! on Bugs Delay Release of Debian Lenny · · Score: 1

    I also found apt-src which seems to be far less buggy than apt-build and also let's you maintain your local packages across different source versions. Still haven't tested them thoroughly though.
