The precautions required cripple the sonar tests, which is not true
that maintaining the biosphere is incompatible with human goals, which is also false
I'm by no means saying that I'm against technological progress here. But I'd also like to be able to live through it; and that means not fucking up the environment beyond repair.
Tracfone almost certainly has to, because they buy their time second-hand from the other CDMA (they may have GSM phones as well, I've only dealt with their CDMA phones) providers. I doubt they're getting those minutes for free.
I think service calls (adding money, checking balance, etc.) are still free, as are 911 calls (which have to be, for legal reasons).
Most pay-as-you-go services work this way, with the possible exception of Verizon's. It's part of the price of pay-as-you-go.
But is he also entitled to the sweat of his laborers brows, to a greater extent than he provides benefit to them? Is he entitled to do damage to the world without any limit, simply because it profits him personally more in the short term to do so? No man exists in a vacuum.
Reductionist political movements based on thinly veiled (or unveiled) objectivist politics fail to function in the real world.
If people were perfect, Libertarianism would work. So would Communism. So would anarchy.
Find me someone who can explain how a libertarian economy WON'T turn into a repeat of the Gilded Age, and I'll show you... well, a damn liar.
Oh my god... I knew I suddenly felt more like an almighty God-king, based on my belief that a vastly simplified conception of how economic systems work is valid in the real world!
And it explains why I suddenly feel that private charity is the answer to dealing with poverty caused by disaster and the health of the mentally ill!
Now, quick, to the book depository! I must consume all of Ayn Rand's addlepated claptrap, post haste!
Does anyone know of a good way to get emacs to magically blink corresponding parens based on proximity to point, rather than just when deleted/typed/directly demanded by a keypress?
Second, although I do wish resizing the windows sans mouse was more straightforward... Actually, I wish I could find the documentation that covered it, to tell the truth!
If you are serious (and I'll take you at your word for the moment), there really aren't many. Notepad is the lowest common denominator of editing text; there aren't really "tricks" for it, since all it can do is edit text files (limited to an arbitrary size) and display or print them.
Honestly, if you're really looking to increase productive text editing, switch to one of the several less limited free text-editors (my personal favorite on Windows is called ConTEXT).
Hey, any chance you can point to a good etags tutorial? I've been interested in using it, but there seems to be a medium-steep learning curve, and the documentation seems somewhat lacking.
I'd guess that's because so much vi functionality involves passing things to an external program; it seems like it would be much easier to just include those programs and pass the work out of eclipse than to, say, implement emacs style macros in eclipse.
Yeah... Usability is in the eye of the beholder I know of several fairly productive programmers using emacsen, including (not included for name-check sake, just for "people have heard of him") Linus Torvalds. Whatever you think of Linux, I don't think anyone can deny that he's productive with his text editor.
As for popular... well, people keep using it, despite it not being bundled with every Unix;-)
I personally just wanted to steal other people's emacs tricks, and didn't think of it until the vi question came up and I read the responses to that. Just as I imagine that the vi question came up in response to the Unix one.
Sometimes there's no conspiracy except the conspiracy of coincidence.
I will say that Emacs takes more configuring than most modern single language IDEs. On the other hand, I've spent high multiples of the time I've spent on Emacs just trying to get some of Eclipses more popular plugins to work.

I believe that it's actually dealt with as a service call. It's certainly not a mobile-to-mobile ;-)

Note: This was about 1 1/2 year ago, so this may have changed, AT&T-wise.
From having worked selling them, I can vouch for Sprint, Verizon, and Cingular/AT&T.
Heck, bit-for-bit and end-to-end, it costs more to send an SMS system than to send or receive data from the Hubble Space Telescope.
That's what I call astronomical inflation. ;-)

Thank you. That does the trick.
That is the stereotype held to by misogynist fuckwits with an inability to deal with women as people, yes.

Oh, carp. That was a thing that I knew. My bad.
Thanks for Dunnet, btw ;-)

Hearts and flowers, here. I've been looking for something like that for a while.
Sigh. I'm going to have to byte-compile my .emacs at the end of this, aren't I?

I'm having a little trouble grokking what "/dev/null" is doing in your search string.
Sadly, my elisp is weaker than my perl.
It actually took less time to press them... I just had to stretch my fingers for an hour beforehand. ;-)

You can even get a shiny, aquafied version of GNU Emacs! http://aquamacs.org/.

Point, I suppose. s/malicious/perverse/;

Also X11 over SSH has made my life much easier on many occasions.
Make that SSH with the -C flag... which took me over a year to learn about. ::smacks face with hands::
