I use VIM now more than ever, and can't really see not using this kind of editor. Giving up all the functionality is something I just can't see doing.
FFM might be geekary but it works with OSX via addon apps. It could be and should be done by the OS. I tend to have a negative opinion of those who do UI design and don't see a need for flexibleness.
How would housing prices not be dependent on scarcity?
How do you think the housing market should work?
I have a house, I could afford even if I lost my job as my spouse makes enough to also pay for it. My solution is to make enough money to buy a home, or to buy something you can afford. My solution is to realize that this is reality not some dream were developers build extra houses just to make you happy.
Lots of software is actually not available, what is I have to compile myself.
OSX has more pay for software, far less FREE software. I mostly use FREE software.
OSX was commercial UNIX, it is not now. Not that it being commercial UNIX is something I care about.
Here are my major issues:
Lack of configurability.
Lack of Focus Follows Mouse. Zoom2 fixes that mostly.
Lack of middle click paste.
Breaks numpad for vim.
All the command line flags are BSD style instead of the GNU way I know and love.
Bad multimonitor support. Does not use one wallpaper nor do the menu bars appear on both monitors.
Print screen does not work, instead you get some sort of 4 key combo. That sure is intuitive!
The OS comes with nothing, windows does this too. I would much rather have a compiler and tools installed out of the box that itunes. Would take up less space too.
Asking anything on an OSX forum gets you "Why would do try to do that? It is not the one true way THE JOBS has given us!"
The biggest issue is really the lack of configuration options. Most of this stuff should be a checkbox but is not.
If you like having middle click copy past, functional number pad in vim, or focus follows mouse OSX is not the right choice.
I tried to use it, I paid for software to enable focus follows mouse. I tried to find a decent terminal app, I tried to find replacements for all I needed. OSX is just really meant to be for one kind fo user and that is not me.
OSX screws up just too much. The whole interface is dumbed way down, it is not configurable to any real degree and it is missing lots of normal features. One of the first that springs to mind is having one wallpaper across more than one monitor. Instead I have to cut the image up into two then place one on each screen.
Begs the question is more properly used when I say "So now that you stopped beating your wife, how is your marriage?" That begs the question of if you ever beat your wife at all.
The poster asking about a robot and a mirror should have used "Raises the question" instead.
If high demand and limited supply drives up housing prices you might have to move back in with family or rent a small apartment. You could also move to a location with more available housing.
I am not sure why you think just because it is a little rough for you housing should be cheap.
Wow useless information from a government website, what a surprise. The same morons that insist you cook meat to a point where you might as well just eat something else.
Try it, I have and those concentrations mean I am getting eaten alive.
The concentrations you are suggesting would be worthless. I have tried both and only the concentrations that can only be applied to clothes and not skin seem to keep the bastards away.
I suggest we start fighting fire with fire, lets create some diseases that kill mosquitos.
We use gasoline, so petrol taxes do not impact us. If gasoline becomes that expensive I would laugh at the SUV drivers while I fill up my compact. I paid $10/gallon in Germany so I can afford $8/gallon here.
The housing bubble was caused by people buying houses they could not afford, and banks making liars loans. If people cannot afford the homes, the prices will go back down. Supply and demand sets the price of houses. The market for homes does not care how affordable you think they should be. The costs will be what people pay. Buying a home so expensive that you can barely afford it only serves to drive prices up and make you poor.
Without proper composting or another method of heating it to kill all the nasties using excrement as fertilizer just continues to current problem of spreading disease.

I totally agree. I am not a typical desktop user.

Iterm is what I try to use but it still does not work with numpad and vim.
I realize I am an edge case, but OSX is just not for everyone.
I don't do anything the windows way. I do it all the X11 way.
My IBM type M has a button labeled print screen. I expected it to work. Instead I get to press 4 buttons. How is that better?
How about less Fanboy stuff, and just realize OSX is not for me.
And yet it works fine with Zoom/2.
So I will say it makes sense fine.
I was assuming you had a fast link to the servers.
Over the LAN X over ssh is going to be faster than VNC.
You miss the part about the dumb down interface?
By screws up, I meant the defaults suck and you are often stuck with them. That is screwing up OS design.

Why use vnc? Why not just tunnel X over SSH?
Or just use ssh the normal way.

I don't care.

I do it with a macbook air.
The hardware is nice, but OSX is terrible.
My galaxy nexus supports SIP out of the box, so it should not be too hard to get that phone software onto the nexus 7.

Yes, that would be the boondocks. It sounds like your entire state must be the boondocks.

Hopefully there is an easy way to figure out which apps bundle AIR. I would hate to install one.
I think this would be a wonderful use of American Lager made by our big brewers. That would save a lot of water.
In 100 years, we will be using the same system to flush toilets. The Romans had a similar system, why would another 100 years change that?
You speak English the way I speak German, using the grammer of the opposite language.
Renting is not possible in the universe you live in?
Buying a smaller home not an option either?
If you cannot afford your home on 50% of your income get a smaller one or rent.
Why would I want to deal with this instead of using the normal toilet? Assuming I still have access to the normal unit.
Great way to spread disease too!

Jailbreak, done.
