    RSS reader with File > Print? And a staple or paper clip. ok, you could make it a little more interesting than that, (have a cron job automatically print it every morning or whatever, formatting, etc.) but you already do have the capability.

    Me too, but I was planning on making a stink about it, but GP beat me to it.

    The second problem is that Ada is both strongly-typed AND allows generics.

    Me confused. Does this mean you don't like Haskell either for the same reason? I thought the whole point of generics was to make static typing less of a pain in your ass without giving up the advantages of static typing.

    Aha! Now I see what you mean. Thats actually quite enlightening. Vi really isn't modal.

  11. Re:Great on No More Codewarrior for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Interesting. Just to clarify what I meant by "dumb" wasn't supposed to be insulting to vi, I could see how Vim syntax highlighting auto-indentation, incremental search and stuff like that could be annoying if turned on by default, so that was the kind of stuff I assumed bothered you. I'm not sure I get what you mean by it not really being modal...I'm thinking about trying elvis for a while to see if I get what you mean.

    One can search by file extension with google btw. Just use the filetype: operator. eg. Pizza Cookbook filetype:pdf

    If your understanding of vi is so shallow that you think "it pretty much acts as dumb as vi" is an amusing bon-mot, you probably wouldn't understand the answer.

    1. I wasn't going for a "bon-mot". I really wanted to know what it did 'wrong'.

    What's wrong with vim? If you don't change the default settings it pretty much acts as dumb as vi.
