  8. april 1st on The Union of Vim with KDE · · Score: 5, Funny

    this would have been a great april fools joke. Kvim could include an add on module called kflame that automaticaly generates flaming posts. this would force Gvim to release Gflame. these would be followed by Kextinguish and Gwiz. oh please let it end!

    open source aside, if you force this on all software/hardware companies in the US, you will not only create a demand for bootleg devices and software, the source will be from outside the US.

    i was running a 2.4 on mandrake 8.0 and had nothing but problems. my logs were filled with write errors from startup until shutdown. everyone told me that it was a bad drive. the older mandrake that had the 2.2 had used this drive fine. when i made the jump to debian/potato with it's 2.2 kernel all the wirte problems disappeared. I'm sticking with 2.2 for a while.
