a mapping. {Vi: no recording}
To get escape from it, just press q again:

stops recording is not stored in the register, unless
it was the result of a mapping) {Vi: no recording}
OH MY GOD, gvim takes up 13 precious megabytes, how will I cope. Of which only 3.8 MB is private dirty BTW. Such is the enormous price one has to pay for a decent UI and decent font rendering
By contrast vim alone takes up 8.5 MB. If you don't want it, don't install gvim... what's the point in moaning on Slashdot about it?
PS, I'd be interested to see how much memory GNU Emacs with GTK uses up Bear in mind that it still doesn't use Freetype to render the fonts, and so the memory apparantly eaten by GTK will be lower.
One thing that could sell some of my co-workers on vim would be if it had better XML features. Nothing too fancy but at least prettyprinting and a wellformedness check.
:%!xmllint --format :%!xmlwf
Add a few GUI things to make life easier for people using search+replace and it could well become the preferred editor (people are now making do with editpad, notepad2, xmlspy home edition, etc.)
Point those people at gvim (or, if they don't want a modal editor, evim).
The rest of your suggestions are more advanced and I think they fall outside of the scope of a general text editor. I'd try Emacs; it has a lot of features for understanding the semantics of an edited document and can probably do all that you describe.
No game I have ever played demanded the use of IE. Gamers are more likely than the average user to have customised their PC with non-default programs such as Firefox, so I find it hard to believe that game publishers would chop off a large proportion of their market in this way.
None of which has any bearing on the fact that if you intend to complain about the inadequacies of an operating system, you should make sure you actually know what you are talking about!

You do not have to set up another user account. The default option is to run the selected program without permissions to access your documents and settings, just as I said.
If you right-click an executable and choose 'run as...' then the default option is to run it in an untrusted mode without giving it access to your files and settings.
Oh, that's clever. I guess we just need a load of CC-licensed artists to form some kind of Association and pool their resources. I look forward to the first case being filed!
I should have chosen my words more carefully. I believe Spamhaus maintain a list of networks which are known to have sent spam. In this case all of your eventualities are irrelevant, except for that of the false complaint. In such a case I would hope that Spamhaus would review the original report and decide whether to remove the relevant network from the blacklist.
In the United States I believe truth is an absolute defence against defamation suits, and so I do not see how Spamhaus could possibly be held responible for actions taken by a third party based on information that Spamhaus published. Ironically this is not so in the United Kingdom--on this side of the pond, the defendant must demonstrate that it is the public's interest that the offending information be published.:)
Hear, hear. I should add that I use the Spamhaus blacklists on my servers--but I don't block mail coming from listed networks. I merely apply more stringent filtering to it. That is how to use blacklists sensibly and responsibly.
But they blacklist networks, don't they. They simply state that users of that network send spam. I'm sure they have an entry in their database saying why each network was listed.
Surely all Spamhaus do is maintain a blacklist of network addresses of known spammers? They don't block the spam themselves. How could they? It seems like the US court order is... insane.
Spamhaus are not liable if the information they published is used by a third party to decide not to accept your mail. Instead, blame the third party for making such a sweeping and unrealistic decision with only a minimum of supporting data.
Article 51. The exercise by citizens of the People's Republic of China of their freedoms and rights may not infringe upon the interests of the state, of society and of the collective, or upon the lawful freedoms and rights of other citizens.
They are pretty much completely unrelated. I think you could get dtrace to do what strace does, but strace is a special-purpose tool of very limited scope. If you think they are comparable then you don't know anything about drace.

You could try gcc -o /dev/stdout piped through /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /dev/stdin... but I think the loader would fail since it can't mmap stdin.

On the other hand, arguing is fun and a good way to learn about the editor you don't use because you're not familiar with it. :)
Try running 'vimtutor'
Personally I took in more when I read read the reference manual rather than the tutorial. http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/ has the manual in PDF form, as well as a Vim book, FAQ and other guides.
As for your cursor keys question, I guess it's due to tradition. You can use the 'map' command to change what the jkl and ; do.
You love Marketing really.
Such as?

That's an implementation detail.
Assuming you are talking about the Xorg server, it's going away for X11R7.3, hopefully.

Microsoft would not be doing anything wrong. The person who distributes the CC-licensed work would be breaking the terms of the license...

Since Spamhaus have no connection with the US the judge should have punted the case back at the plaintiff.
Yeah... these days you shut down a spammer and a PHB reprimands you for nullifying a vast source of revenue^W^W^W^Wcustomer.
