Patch 6.3.001 Problem: ":browse split" gives the file selection dialog twice. (Gordon Bazeley) Same problem for ":browse diffpatch". Solution: Reset cmdmod.browse before calling do_ecmd(). Files: src/diff.c, src/ex_docmd.c
Patch 6.3.002 Problem: When using translated help files with non-ASCII latin1 characters in the first line the utf-8 detection is wrong. Solution: Properly detect utf-8 characters. When a mix of encodings is detected continue with the next language and avoid a "no matches" error because of "got_int" being set. Add the directory name to the error message for a duplicate tag. Files: src/ex_cmds.c
Patch 6.3.003 Problem: Crash when using a console dialog and the first choice does not have a default button. (Darin Ohashi) Solution: Allocate two more characters for the [] around the character for the default choice. Files: src/message.c
Patch 6.3.004 Problem: When searching for a long string (140 chars in a 80 column terminal) get three hit-enter prompts. (Robert Webb) Solution: Avoid the hit-enter prompt when giving the message for wrapping around the end of the buffer. Don't give that message again when the string was not found. Files: src/message.c, src/search.c
Patch 6.3.005 Problem: Crash when searching for a pattern with a character offset and starting in a closed fold. (Frank Butler) Solution: Check for the column to be past the end of the line. Al
Liter? What the heck is a 'Liter'?? Another one of those imperial measurements I haven't heard of I bet.
It is a litre people, L-I-T-R-E!!!
The same goes with metre as well; a metre is the length of some rod somewhere in France and also the SI unit for length, a meter is some sort of measuring device (like the one the gas company checks).
The beauty of one of these systems would be eliminating the particle wave motion of traffic at traffic lights (once the cars got 'smart' enough anyway). Being able to move a line of individual cars like a train will provide a large increase in throughput at all lights in a system. (Has always annoyed me that we can't have everyone in the line accelerate at the same rate starting at the same time - I aways thought the answer was big rubber padding on either end of your car but maybe 'puters are a better solution!).
Ah that would be rad
It appears that the closed window button (The ' X ', found in the title bar of each application window) has moved 15 pixels to the left.
Unfortunately none of the screenshots have any maximised windows but if the ' X ' button has moved for maximised windows as well then it will be the worst GUI decision EVER! Gone will be the quick hand flick up and to the right to close a window.
Using the 'infinite' screen real-estate in the corners and edges of the screen is very important but Microsoft continually abuse the said space and assign these areas as no-action spaces.
Please please please let them change the song. I know what he was trying with the country/wild west style show and a score to match but my goodness it is bad. We know he can do good after a very buffy music episode but Joss has let himself down here.
Joss, if you are out there, please know it isn't a sign of weakness that you can't do everything, delegate man!
It seems to me that most of the comments this article has elicited is regarding reporter's complete lack of scientific understanding. In this forum we have large pool of knowledge (although sometimes I wonder) from which to draw, but poor suckers who read the daily rags gobble this sort of garbage up.
Things like measuring molecules in nanometres and them being bio-degradable is trainee hour and included because some hack has been given the task of appealing to the masses which justifications of why this is a good thing.
Science is a good thing, making new things is a good thing, finding a new thing IS A GOOD THING! We don't need the research justified.

Hate to be a pedant (well, actually I love it!) but I thought editors were suppose to fix stuff like this up...
There is no word 'alot'. It is two very distinct words, an 'a' followed one space later by 'lot'. This mangling of English will be the death of me.
I press apple-space,j,c,k,j,n,s,n.
sounds pretty good but typing all of those commas would just frustrate me.

A truly terrible decision if it is the case.
As soon as I whip up a constitution and declare my home a republic seperate from Australia I will be the first country to COMPLETE the project.
Take that small African country.
