That 1% matters the most to us. If I am faced with a fresh install of Ubuntu and vim comes up when I type vi, I solve the bug quickly by using the:!sudo apt-get install nvi && vim command. I don't know if that qualifies as a vim trick, though.
Among other things they never resurrected the correct vegetation or a correct ecosystem at all. They had Jurassic dinosaurs with late Cretaceous ones and their dinosaurs were genetically modified. However, I don't believe it was pointless. For one thing, they could know what dinosaurs in general looked like, and also what it takes for evolution to get a bunch of misplaced and terminally ill animals to survive for enough generations to form a stable population that can eat some of our characters.
This is why you had to break it. Also, you need a terminal of the very broken type. Which means a Linux console or a good emulation thereof. Don't try to run this on xterms or other terminal emulations. I guess some classical terminal had far funnier effects, but in Linux it achieves exactly the effect I advertised.
Quick encryption for your terminal, so your wife doesn't find out about your ~/.japaneseporn collection sneaking from behind and scanning your ls output. cat/dev/urandom Be sure to stop the cat or you might not understand the power of this command.
I used to code in VB(in its 3-6 golden ages) and assembly(Z80,x86). Now I code in FB(FreeBasic, a QB derivative) and assembly. I just cannot get why people insist on writing code in C. The other day I was hacking a little compression algorithm in standard C. After checking my code a few thousand times and having it work and failing randomly and differently in three different compilers, I gave up. The kind of file manipulation I was trying to do just wasn't standard C. A few gotos and windows APIs could have solved it, but I just didn't care. As the code was intensive on binary operations I decided on Win32 Assembly over FB. Fired up FASMW(http://www.flatassembler.net), Microsoft's SDK API help file, and in three hours I had a working UNICODE-compatible binary a third the size of the C one optimized for size. Now *that* was compression.
Yeah, I thought the same. I suppose this is why it made it to the front page. On topic, given that many MALE scientists believe in imaginary superbeings that were made up by some random illiterate guy some thousands of years ago, I don't think they are in any position to judge their girlfriends for basing their behaviour on what they read in magazines. God, free(as in freedom), Astrology, it's all the same. We are humans. Flawed machines. Human females deserve you treat them as equals. Maybe then you'll get a date.
Yes, just because Bill became rich selling bloated code doesn't mean he likes bloat. All his computing needs are covered by his x86_64 PC. The whole OS(MS-BASIC 64, written by himself in long-mode assembly) fits in 16kb, and he has never used more than 640kb of RAM. He never uses Windows as evidenced in the Windows 98 presentation.
Amen, if Microsoft would just release a Server Lite(Windows 2000 Pro) version of their Server systems(NT, 2000, 2003, 2008) instead of the mainstream(95, 98, XP, Vista) crap, nobody with a right mind would be using Linux on their desktops. Did you notice how MS doesn't include their theme bullshit in their Server OSes? GTK, QT, X, Compiz? Sorry, but I don't think their codebases can stand a chance against the Windows GUI. Sure you can lookalike, but for x features you have 2^x size and bugs. I like free, but if I can have better, I'm not gonna die for my ideals.

Are you still paying for your phone calls to Japan in 2008? Where do you come from, 2001? Haven't you heard of Skype?
