    I receive quite a few genuine images that contain text.
    Like scanned documents
    Like graphics that would go to our company website thet I am supposed to approve
    Like ...

    I also end such images sometimes.

    An example.
    My company has purchased an expensive program. When I tried to "activate" it through the internet I was told that :this serial number is alredy activated. WTF *activated*? I have just personally unpasked the box and took a card with serial number brom inside.

    So I have scanned a card with a serial number, a box the program came in, an invoice and sent an angry letter to the people that sold me the program.

    One day later I received activation code.

    I must tell you I was seriously tempted to install a pirate version in the meanwhile ;-)

  4. Re:better regexes ? not likely on Vim 7 Released · · Score: 1

    negative lookbehind of non arbitrary length.

    see
    http://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/pod/perlre.htm l
    -- quote --
    (?!pattern)

            A zero-width negative lookbehind assertion. For example /(?!bar)foo/ matches any occurrence of ``foo'' that isn't following ``bar''. Works only for fixed-width lookbehind.
    -- end quote --

    quote from file pattern.txt from Vim builtin documentation
    -- quote --
    \@! Matches with zero width if the preceding atom does NOT match just
            before what follows. Thus this matches if there is no position in the
            current or previous line where the atom matches such that it ends just
            before what follows. |/zero-width| {not in Vi}
            Like '(?!pattern)" in Perl, but Vim allows non-fixed-width patterns.
            The match with the preceding atom is made to end just before the match
            with what follows, thus an atom that ends in ".*" will work.
            Warning: This can be slow (because many positions need to be checked
            for a match).
            Example matches ~
            \(foo\)\@!bar any "bar" that's not in "foobar"
            \(\/\/.*\)\@\!in "in" which is not after "//"
    -- end quote --

    This is just ONE example.

    1. Regular expressions even more powerfull than those in pearl
    2. I can configure vim to my tastes from "out of the box" state in a couple of minutes (I was tewaking my .emacs file for years and Xemacs still felt awkward)
    3. very, very powerfull and simple way to create macros and scripts
    4. Absolutely magnificent documentation
    5. fantastic mailing list where gurus and newbies are treated very, very well. I have seen Bram himself answer very simple beginers questions.
    6. great site with hundreds of scripts, tips, and other useful stuff.
    7. Bram has accepted several of my suggestions for improving some details in documentation and even suggestion for improvement of some code (a script for gunzipping files) ((It wasn't even proper patch, because I have never created patch file))

  6. Linux viruses on Buy Vista or Else · · Score: 1

    If you write windows virus, you are one of thousands people that wrote a virus that actually works.

    If you manage to write successfull Linux virus, you will be THE FIRST hacker to do that.
    You will get famous. Very famous.
    This fact is very, very big motivation for many people.
    Yet there are no real Linux viruses.

    Well ...
    FreeBSD *is* viable alternative to XP.
    Today I have even installed Windows-only Tutenstein game from kids.discovery.com on it for my little daughter using wine. A few days ago I have installed Linux binary Fentun to open winmail.dat file I have received form an Outlook/Exchange user.

    FreeBSD has more then 14000 ports available.

    It has got everything an ordinary user needs.
    Office, mail, browsers, chat, much greater number of supported media files than most Linux distros ...

    I know, It is comon belief FreeBSD is more difficult to install than XP.
    Well, Joe Sixpack isn't able to install Windows either.
    And tell me, how many users can remove dozens of malware, viruses, rootkits and other unwanted crappy applications from Windows?

    You install FreeBSD for a non-technical user once, and you do not have to come back to clean it up.
