   The poor spelling probably increases the conversion rate from people who make the first reply. The nigerian prince and poor-spelling spammers are dead giveaways to a spam. If you filter out people who know about these cliches, you increase

   Just check out `:help index` when you get bored, scroll some random amount down, and use a new thing or two that day.

   I've installed both GTX 580s and 570s with absolutely no problems.

    I guess I just view things from a different perspective, not having the disposable income of the average HNer (where 2200 is a "rounding error", as seen in this thread)

    My work MBP is fast enough for what I do. I don't need 16gig 2133 DDR3, or an i7. My problem, though, is that you're paying PC i7 level price for an i3/5, for example.

    Could you share some? I use a MBP at work, and if I'm not "doing it right", I'd like to know how I can get the most out of my machine.

    It seems a good portion of the HN crowd is obsessed with spending more money than necessary. I totally get the "Put money into things that matter" idea, but overpaying for outdated specs is not some honorable trait.

    Some modern shoot-em-ups in the arcade have blatantly unfair portions of the game where you WILL get hit and lose a life. See CarnEvil for an example. I would consider these similar to IAP. Older arcade games like Galaga and Super Mario Bro

    Apparently the parameter w=1 fixes the white space for the diff in the browser. Is there a way to make the pull request reference that?

    Completely forgivable. This pull request[0], on the other hand, is probably more along the lines of what mirsadm was thinking of. [0]: https://github.com/Aaronius/Stupid-Table-Plugin/commit/fbf3d...

    Ah, but that is one alternative! Now you'll have to excuse me, I'm off to buy a new MBP with the specs of the standard PC laptops of a few years ago for double the price, acting as a rational consumer.

    I'd actually assert a portion of people buy Apple products out of goodwill to Apple. This should not be taken as a compliment, though.

    Would you also happen to be a fast reader? I can't seem to break the 120 barrier, and I'm wondering if the habit of mentally "saying" the words as I read them is a significant reason why I can't improve.

    This serves as a great reminder that a good portion of your speed comes from accuracy. I find if I slow myself down ~10% of what feels "fast", I'm much more accurate and my WPM increase significantly over typing faster but backspacing more.

    I don't use anything beyond 5(with the exception of 0 because that's fairly easy for me to hit). 6 and 7 are the hardest to hit. 17k for me just becomes 15kkk, for example. If you ever find yourself needing to go 50+ up or down, you should

    I had tried scrolloff=1000 for middle scrolling. I liked it for a while, but got a little tired of the jumpy-ness. I'll give 5 a go.

    I believe many VIM users overestimate the importance of using h,j,k,l in comparison to numeric modifiers. Holding down j to scroll down the page is no more "right" than holding down the down arrow, in my opinion. The following made me consi
