saving before switching buffers is an option, I can't remember which off the top of my head, but you should be able to find it in the manpage or on a vim IRC channel.
Power steering, anti-lock brakes, etc. are all seamless transitions from the "old" way, i.e. you do not have to learn how to drive a completely different way of driving to take advantage of them. With interface upgrades, you must re-learn everything. It's like if the steering wheel was suddenly placed where the shifter was, and the shifter where the steering wheel used to be. It just isn't going to happen, b/c nobody would use it. Why should software be any different? Is it really that difficult to add a few things and improve a few more by only making minimal, usage-compatiable changes to the interface, especially when you're PAYING for it and its supposed backwards-compatiablity?
not for amd64 on linux, or any other platform for that matter(forget about the opensource ones that don't really work atm). By free, I mean source code available, not just gratis in a binary blob.
Buying up our spectrum like this installs a natural monopoly that is inefficient.
A better system would be for public/gov to create a network of towers for wimax/wifi.
I'm all for the public, free use of the radio spectrum, but what makes you think that the government would do a better job? They're the ones who split up the spectrum in the first place.
But if you have 512mb of RAM, and even if only half of that is in the flash memory after hibernation, you're still saving ~ half the ammount of data that would otherwise have to be written and read from the disk, which is more likely than not a very substantial speedup and power savings versus no flash memory at all.
Consider buying one of these On-the-Stick keyboards. They are pricy($100 for a keyboard!) but they are fantastic. I bought one last year and it is so great I could never go back to a regular keyboard/mouse combo. Also one of the reasons I will only use IBM laptops.
What I find most amusing about this project is that it uses the most unrestrictive Window Manager, FVWM, and turns it into a very restrictive user interface.

Mplayer (and anything that can use ffmpeg, such as xine and gstreamer) can play FLV's fine, and have been able to for awhile now.
you're not a multi-million dollar corporation
oh god, now I really feel stupid
You can at least download it on google video.
And for those of us who can't use flash for whatever reason, here is the google video link.
Make photocopies.
In the U.S., once it hits the curb, its public domain.

vim 7 + cscope == awesome

at least I can use it with freely available programs
No fucking flash. Thats why.

To further clarify, it was available in the U.S. on the SNES game "Super Mario All-Stars" in the sub-game "Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels".
no.
Hey, I never said I agreed with him. I was just setting the record straight.
He said more interesting, not better.
VMS is not even remotely related to Unix. See History of Unix and VMS wikipedia articles.

Works when you rename to .mid, but just to claify, the email address is phonenumber@vzwpix.net
I believe that is the point...
Wait a second...
You have a girlfriend and you're posting on Slashdot? What is wrong with this picture?
I just couldn't resist.
