What exactly are "my accusations", my special friend? What I've done is pointing out that "there has been no government intelligence agency related "feature" ever discovered" is a meaningless statement. That is not remotely the same as me claiming there are in fact such backdoors; the difference is that I don't assume there aren't any, while you do, based on your meaningless statement. I'm repeating myself, but please get familiar with basic reasoning and logic.
Do you have any proof that a government intelligence agency in cooperation with the software vendors have created purpose built exploitable security flaws?
No. Can this be proven? No, it's trivially plausibly deniable. Please learn basic reasoning and logic.
My point stands, your inital assertion is meaningless.
As a general rule of thumb, fuel consumption goes up as the square of the speed. Double the speed, and you quadruple the fuel consumption.
Are you sure that rule of thumb applies past the sonic barrier? Because supersonic aerodynamics are quite different than subsonic, IIRC (which is why simulations like to use fluids to simulate supersonic aerodynamics).
I would propose backspace at the beginning of the line while in insert mode.
Well, if you prefer pressing two keys over one, have at it. It's not like vim can't do that, so what's your point?
Like every normal editor ever.
We wouldn't need different editors if every editor was the same (by "normal" i assume you mean notepad-style). Some people just prefer powerful editors. Why is this a problem to you?
Note that you don't need to select your lines beforehands. The line after the one the cursor is on will be joined to the line the cursor is on.
"skids" seems to have the typical "newer is better" sort of mindset, which might be appropriate for tangible products that wear out and all, but software... not so much. Newer is worse, until it's old and mature [at which point Linux fanboys like to throw it out the window because the next hip steaming pile of buggy garbage arrives].
You're beyond pathetic, but I suppose Ican consider you representative for the Linux zealot community, given how you insult arbitrary people including those which appear to be supporting your argument (which is ultimately at authrority, but oh well).
I'm having fun watching your trainwreck go down and be windowsified from a real operating system that works as expected and doesn't add random shit breaking things left and right because some idiot has an oh-so-nice idea. Increasing boot speed by nondeterministically probing the hw busses? I'm not even sure that's actually true, but hey. Boot time. Highly important especially on servers, right? This is one of the features that specifically help absolute niche applications of Linux, when the whole thing is already pretty nice except on the server side, where things get increasingly broken and ass backwards.
So then let's hear why predictable(TM) interface names are the way they are, how they are useful and why it is a good idea to make servers default to it, dear zealot.
Typical Linux user response... "Hey, we did something retarded and as an added bonus, we enabled it by default! Why, if you don't want it you can go out of your way to undo our mess."
Yeah this goes under the name "predictable network interface names", however, it doesn't mean predictable for humans. It's predictable to a machine having all available information (and note that things like "what PCI slot does the NIC sit in" may play into this -- it's this retarded.)
How is that worse? Do you tend to wander away from your computer, in the middle of typing your password, only to return later and wonder "gee, have I or have not I entered a password here?".
it might take you several seconds to finish the paragraph, fold it up and store it safely
People with OCD will likely not be allowed to drive it. The rest of the world is able to stop reading a newspaper without having to finish the fucking paragraph, folde it up and store it safely. It's called putting the newspaper down, or tossing it onto the passenger (seat).
Slashdot Mirror
If they missed the reference, then it wasn't really obvious, was it?
Why would you mod someone up for an arbitrary obvious reference?
Why do you have to point out there's a reference when it is obvious?
Maybe because C and C++ are well-established and mature languages that have nothing to do with that Microsoft product you're so fond of.
Linux has gotten a lot simpler through the years.
Hahahahahahaha. Oh wait, you're serious? Let me laugh even harder.
Honestly, Linux has become a giant clusterfuck over the last years. In comparison, FreeBSD is all about maintaining the POLA.
Now now, why use the heavyweight printf for hello world when you have no formatting and might as well use puts instead?
Kids these days.
Now get off my lawn.
Your intelligence level [...]
Oh the irony.

The real irony [blah blah]
So what does that have to do with anything?
If a vulnerability is found, how do you know who's ultimately responsible for it?
Yeah, didn't think so. So "there has been no government intelligence agency related "feature" ever discovered" is completely meaningless.
Microsoft prefers that if someone has Windows, they also will have Microsoft account and the Surfaces to display ads.

FTFTFY. If your grammer naziing, at leest do it write.

The advantage is you can join more than 2 lines
Right, good point. For some reason it never occured to me to try J in visual mode. Thanks!

selecting your lines and pressing J.
Note that you don't need to select your lines beforehands. The line after the one the cursor is on will be joined to the line the cursor is on.

b-but is it IOT-ready?
Really "J" from normal mode to Join two lines? That's ... actually not very difficult to memorize.

names are [...] fully predictable

Clearly we need fingerprint DRM.

Back in the day, [...] everyone used passwords like "*******" which were pretty easy for a shoulder surfer to remember if they caught a glance.
I like that password, nice and deceptive.
Indeed I'd rather hear from it from independent and hence unbiased sources, especially after realizing that

Maybe if your G+ link didn't fucking contain "LennartPoetteringTheOneAndOnly" people might bother to click it.
