I would LOVE to try this collaboration thing everyone raves about, but can't get rendezvous to work.
I don't get it.... Rendezvous seems to work for EVERYONE else that tries it... Yet my Macs at home, though they can talk to each other, are all on the same little subnet, etc.
Til this works I can't give good feedback as to how useful something is.
I have tried subEthaEdit. It is nice. I have NEVER been able to get Rendevouz to work on ANYTHING in my home network (iTunes, etc.) but as a text editor, it was ok.
But in defense of the parent's post about vim, try gvim (same flavor, different can). Most of the "cryptic" yet commonly desired commands are in the menu.
As for syntax hiliting....:syntax=php (or html, or pl, or txt, or c++, or......)
colorschemes are nice, as well.
Very graceful, if you ask me... and powerful when you get into vimdiff and folds. Yowsa.
And control v puts you in block mode, so you can select columns of text, and if you just want blocks of code, type $... (don't need to do that in gvim, anyway... you can use a little thing called a mouse...)
You can indent, too. But I didn't mean to type a tutorial.:-)
Anyway, beside the point. I still use BBEdit on my Macs, unless I'm doing remote work on a server somewhere. I can't stand the delay using the built-in FTP method.
In the nature of the Simpsons, South Park, Futurama, the Muppet Movie, etc. --- repeat it enough times, and it becomes a running gag. ("no, no... I said 'myth, myth.'" "Yes?")
There is a fine line, to be sure, but sometimes it's just that ONE extra time that pushes it over the edge and makes something that was originally annoying and repetitive completely hilarious.
So it's obvious we're at that threshold with these jokes, and the only solution is for us to repeat these jokes ad nauseum until you find it funny again.
And, by nature, don't some stereotypes begin with a perception (albeit one based on observation of a possibly small but very visible minority) grounded in SOME truth? That geeks play games and ruin their relationships, for instance? That these ruined relationships create a mass of geeky people with NO significant other? That they do things slightly differently in Soviet Russia (or things are done to THEM)?
Anway, I think they're funny. They're the "Oh my God, they killed Kenny" to my Slashdot reading, so lighten up, Homer.
the guy's just building the thing for his car and saw an opportunity to give other people something they've expressed and interest in (as well as make a quick buck at it for his time...)
Can't fault him for not having a huge selection of models and colors to suit 'everyman's' needs, can you?
(Offtopic - wonder if you could wire an iPod straight to the battery on an ELECTRIC car? My 5gb model is kinda drained...)

That's like my console app "screensaver."
I regularly have my ssh connection dropped after inactivity when I'm using Pine or have vim open and haven't done anything for a little while.
Solution? Screen and pop tload up in a window. Switch to that to keep the connection alive. Good for hours!
And it is soooooooo fun to look at... (0_o)

Guess I should just shut up, eh?

Major "duh" points for me...
Not that this didn't occur to me earlier. um... ok, it didn't (0_0 ). I was just trying to follow the whole "environmental" thread above...
That being said - an electric car with this console built in (any ideas for a clever iName?) would TRULY be a digital hub.
The iHubcap?

he he --- funny enough, a technology recently investigated by Penny-Arcade here
And I always thought FUD stood for "FUX0R3D" Up Dispersions.....
