  23. Re:Personally.... on The Future of Emacs · · Score: 0

    Yes VIM 7 is incredible; and going in a different direction than emacs.
    The current vim already has the stuff from this Emacs22, like Mac OSX support, gtk2, etc.

    Vim 7 will have something similar to intellisense (instead it's called omni completion). It has these amazing popup menus that work in console vim and also gvim. I've played with it; it's awesome. Vim 7 also has improved vim language features, so that you don't have to entertain other people's opinions that you need emacs because the vim language can't do anything. Vim 7 also has mzscheme support, which is very similar to emacs lisp.
    Vim 7 has spell checking. Vim 7 has all new internal functions. Vim 7 has much more.

    Of course what I've mentioned is just stuff that's already there in the alpha builds. But there's more stuff coming, like frames, etc. etc. But Vim 6 is already amazing. Much better than Vi. Vi doesn't even compare. Even the extra normal mode commands in vim put vi to shame. Get VIM.

  25. blah... i know... on The Science Of Happiness · · Score: 0

    Outside of temporary emotions like anger, joy, there seems to be a more permanent condition called happiness.
    I notice, that I keep wanting more as my life gets better; and satisfaction seems the solution to be perfectly happy. This should be able to be accomplished at any time (no matter how bad your life is; how often you get temporary anger/sorrow/pain).
    The question is; what is satisfaction?
