    How do you make web pages in vim when you don't know HTML? Is there something like vimclipse for Dreamwaver or something?

    I think you accidentally lot of words. BTW, FWIW I get something of a kick from those raunchy texts. Though I'm in high-school and horny as dog with no luck, so I guess it comes from a well honed imagination. That, and I have an obsession with reading.

    The falling of a tree in a forest concept is technically incorrect, but translates well down to the quantum level (Schrödinger's cat, anyone?).

    The turbo makes it less efficient? That's plain fucked up. More of an engineering problem specific to the model than anything else. Most sports cars are damn efficient if you just take it easy on the throttle.

    Each partition on USB Mass Storage Device instance is a separate device function, IIRC. If it isn't, it's pretty damn easy to fix that. Also, More Windows installs support iso9660 than UDF.

    iso9660 good enough?

    Maybe DOS understands file systems in terms of "native" and "non-native". Though I've been through some docs, (Google is your friend) and it seems just that - an improved FAT. Even M$ agrees. ;)

    HPFS is based on FAT32, only it sorta fixes it, and adds up to 2TB file system support, and NTFS was made from scratch by the OpenVMS team from DEC. HPFS was included in the Windows NT series up to 4.0 to aid the transition from existing OS/2 installs, with a OS/2 compatibility layer remaining in Windows XP © as reminder of times gone by. Also, a separate HPFS driver is available for later NT versions.

    You do realize that PHP's got more FAIL than Perl, COBOL and Befunge combined? Not that I'm bashing web developers or something, but technical superiority lies within Perl, period, as far as my experience is concerned
    (meaning the number of (please note:(I'm getting real LISP-y with this, ain't I?))technical bashing posts (on /.) about PHP far exceeds the number of such posts about Perl).

    Shell - that means that variables and methods in objects are as the programmer sees them - text. The issue is that you have to structure that text, associative arrays in Lua, anyone? Or - dare I say it - Javascript?
