Can't even consider vim because of the macro capability in emacs. I have remapped Crtl-z to be equivalent to 'Ctrl-x e' (repeat last macro -- since I don't use 'suspend', the normal Ctrl-z function). Then I can record a macro ('Ctrl-x (' and type *anything* then close with 'Ctrl-x )') and use Ctrl-z to rapid-repeat the last macro. Makes repedetive editing very efficient. Can also do 'Ctrl-u 50 Ctrl-z' to repeat a macro 50 times, etc.
I'd move to vim if it had similar ease with macro creation / execution. Does it? Huh? Well, does it? Come on, preach it, brother! Make me a vim believer!
Using the GPL is evil, you forever give up your right to make money off of any code.
IBM, Red Hat, Monta Vista, Google.com, and many other businesses make millions of USD, every year from GPL licensed software. Evil?
It's like giving up the keys to your house, actually I think there is a clause that allows anyone to make copies of the keys to your house to use to come and go as they please.
No, if that's the analogy you want to use, it's more like you give others the right to make duplicates of your house and construct them anywhere in the world they wish. But then, if they make any improvements to their copy, they have to let you have a copy of those improvements (to add to your own house, or not, as you see fit).
It's amazing some of the things people beleive.
It's amazing how much people want to believe something good is really a bad thing. Harbor hidden agendas much?
Damn! We (the US) should really consider switching to the metric system. Look how much farther you get in 30 years -- 15 billion kilometers vs only 9.3 billion miles.
Goddamn if only I had mod points.. this deserves a +5 insightful:
Try #hackers on irc.fbi.gov
At the very least...
Have mod points, but I refuse to mod a post (+Funny, in this case -- not Insightful) that includes the punchline but doesn't quote the context -- that still sits at Score: 0. How would it make any sense to someone who's surfing at, say, level 2?
Whith this Linex crap, where do I get a copy of Outlook? Norton AV? SpyBot? MS Pop-up Blocker? ZoneAlarm? And what about those fun, free, animated emoticons? Where are they? In fact, with Linix I've completely lost the little blue tray guy that pops up when a friend wants to chat. Can you believe it? Talk about boooooorrriiiing!
Seems most new arrivals to Arch Linux forums are folks from Gentoo and from Slackware. Many new to Arch site the forums themselves as yet another refreshing change. I personally enjoy the balance of overall friendliness but occasional justifiable-policing of the too-absurd or off-topic.
Why are they called "chips"? A chip, by any other definition, is something small. Today's processors should be reffered to as "bricks", "boulders", "tiles";-)
What the interviewee doesn't remember is how they also made his mouth disappear, wrestled him onto the table and inserted a robotic bug in his stomach.
Pepsi: Yo, Coke. Some loonies on line one say they have your secrets. But don't worry. We're setting up a sting. Coke: Uh. Ok. The Press: So, Pepsi, why did you feel the need to do the right thing? Pepsi: Because competition should be fair.
Hate to reply to my own post, but since prior posts seem to think the OP is asking about embedded OSs... As an embedded developer I choose Arch Linux as a workstation OS because it has a natural, virtually headache-free way to keep up with the bleeding edge of tools (or not, if you like) and an easy way (ABS) to introduce new tools that may not be distro-available.
I'm strugling to think of anything really that I use that has the "G" thing...
Might that be because the KDE apps are simply memorable? (Comare gphoto -- or whatever it's called -- vs digiKam or the mainstream Gnome CD-R burner vs k3b.) The KDE stuff is very good.
Also, being a contractor (vs an employeeee) helps keep the political fog from encroaching too much on your personal life. At least it seems to help somewhat.

Apparently so... [pours more coffee]

Or was it all just a bad dream?
If Shelley is against it and Tristan is against it it must not come to pass!

It was totally retarded, why do people like it?
Look, it's all right there:
Q. Why do people like it?
A. It was totally retarded.
You're, uh, one step away from Yoda-speak.
The SQL Ledger portal offers a double-entry accounting package, supported by a Postgres backend. I've found it to be relatively feature-rich.
Hope they don't waffle on this like MA (USA)
Dah dumph!

Least amount of pain; Most amount of gain. Very easy to maintain (no RPM-hell like issues). Gets out of your way so you can do real work.
And ABS is a dream to use!
I am standing beside myself with amazement. Such growth brings a tear to my leg.
Yes, I'm not going to stand for any more of these jokes, either.
but there's that trade-off thing at work there.

Real sorry games means so much.
Otherwise, you're there, right? I understand.
