Word processing was a solved problem in 1997, but Microsoft still has to continuously "upgrade" their software to be able to sell it again. They are out of good ideas, so they end up implementing bad ideas like adding system access to a simple protocol.
Word, bro! You certainly deliver a powerful point there. It seems that you excel in life. If I only could make one note, it would be that I see a great outlook for your future.
I think you may be the one that needs to visit the shrink sometime, because you somehow think that people should be punished just for being stupid, even when they did not cause any harm to other people in the process.
One personal gripe I'd like to add is that, when copying files to memory stick and the operation finishes, the "finished" notification displays the name of only one of the files (the last one?). This creates a bit of confusion -- "was only one file copied?"
Too easy to downmod you.
From your comment about a shitty UI one can only conclude you have never used KDE.
Although better graphics would be nice calling them amateurish is rather silly.
I actually see KDE as the best Linux desktop right now: fast, feature-rich and stable. However I recently watched an interesting criticism piece regarding some funky and misleading behavior of this desktop environment. The user experience could be improved.
kinda off topic but: the first report i heard was that the plane had four hours of fuel on board. now it is seven? huh?
Where did you hear that? I suggest you try to search for a citation for it and post it here. If there are discrepancies in the story, it's always good to bring them to daylight.
If you're stupid enough to store credentials that allow access to pay-for goods in your name, and to then blindly upload them to a public service, I have little sympathy.
I have sympathy towards them. At least they did not act maliciously on other people but instead they mistakenly published their own private information. People make stupid mistakes...hey, I make stupid mistakes. Let's educate them to be smarter, instead of having them suffer of the outcomes of their stupidity. Let's make the world a more secure place for everyone. And that is precisely what Amazon is doing here.
I probably spend more time in command mode than insert mode when I'm using vim to write code. That says to me that keeping an editor always stuck in insert mode may not be the best idea.
It's not that bad idea. After all, insert mode is where most of the actual code writing happens.
Large operating system codebases are among the biggest codebases on the planet, so of course they are huge. But then again, that includes all kinds of various specialized APIs and a stock of drivers.
Vim is nice and I actually use it for programming, but jumping between the command mode, insert mode and visual mode still slows me down a lot. Why can't we just be in insert mode constantly and use Ctrl+something for all the commands? Also use Shift+arrows to select text?
Yet I would kill to have those kind of resolutions on my 12" laptop.
There are already laptops which pack 1920x1080 and even 2560x1440 resolution into a 13.3" screen. However desktop operating systems do not have very good DPI scaling yet, so that kind of machines are quite painful to use.

Heh, that's pretty bad trolling attempt.
Word !!

Well, you would be a meta-pussy as you also posted that as AC.

Thank you, Mr. Nasty McSnarkenstein.
What happens when an airplane crashes into the ocean? Do the passengers die immediately from the impact?
I do not know why you are modded down. There indeed is that error in the summary which should have been fixed by the submitter or the editor.
Why is it deserved?

How do you know that?
The Modern UI app snap feature is really nice for snapping the Twitter client to the side of your desktop.
I get those spiky ACs every now and then and, these days just give them a belly laugh.
Because most of the commands accept modifiers, e.g. 10dd to remove 10 lines of text, or }d to delete the rest of the paragraph.
All right, I think I've seen enough at this point. I'm leaving Vim-land right now and moving all my programming projects to Visual Studio 2013.
That's called emacs. Go try it.
I have tried Emacs but the multi-level commands made me nauseous.
The rest of us like knowing that when we're in insert mode, nothing we type will be interpreted as anything but data
What value is there knowing that? You're just typing text and letters appear on the screen.

Interesting article, have to read that one.
You can still fit a full operating system kernel and a lot more in 300k lines.
Not necessarily.

Well, as a network segment, wireless looks like a hub (all traffic reaches all clients).
