    I don't get this, can someone suggest a good spyware?
    Or is ntpd also nowadays considered spyware??

  7. No!! Please don't try that on Vim 6.3 Released · · Score: 1

    Does someone please know of some module for Vim and/or Emacs that makes use of these shortcuts?

    I would sincerely suggest not to look out for such a module. Please try the vim equivalents for a day and you'd never have to run around your hands all over the keyboard. You wouldn't call them shortcuts once you get used to vim.

    'v' for visual mode, then just move around with i,j,k,l *in* selection mode without straining your pinky holding the shift button all the while
    then 'y' to copy
    and anywhere you need to paste 'p'
    That would be atleast 100 times good for your fingers than moving your hands to get to the arrow keys while holding the shift key

    'e', 'w', 'b', '^', '0' are the other *real* shortcuts

  9. They don't do even these things right now X-( on Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites) · · Score: 1

    What's happening to Microsoft? Where is its aggressiveness going?

    I am disappointed that MS is not doing even this one properly. I just copy pasted the link from a second gmail invitation that I received and sent to my brother's hotmail account and he received it just fine

    A gmail invitation mail would include a link that'd be like
    http://gmail.google.com/gmail/a-1a2b3c4d5e-1 a2b3c4 d5e
    (No this one wouldn't work unless I am god or you are)
    Till /gmail/ it would be common; then a character (I have seen only 'a's till now), followed by a '-', then 10 characters and then again a '-' and 10 characters

    Damn!!! Is it that difficult to search for such a pattern in a mail and hijack it??

    I am disappointed MS, I am seriously disappointed

  11. [2004-06-08] on Vim 6.3 Released · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It has been a year since version 6.2.
    It has been almost 2 weeks since 6.3 was released and we get an entry in Announcements on /. now :)

    vim, for the quick editor it is, doesn't deserve this delay.

    If you check the wishlist for 7.0 you would be surprised to observe that support for embedding vim in another gui program is right up in the top slots with *none* voting against it.

    It's good to see people actually agreeing upon something good

    Did you know that 'vim' is a household name in India and its sales amount to more than Rs. 2500 millions!?! That vim here is a dishwashing bar to help ppl get away from "KitchenSink" faster is a different matter.
