This refers to a 1998 study that says the universe is accelerating. I thought since then there had been news of dark matter being more than what we had thought of, which would exceed critical mass resulting in the universe coalescing again

How are you getting this completion from ri ? I use zsh, and the rvm's ri (.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-head/bin/ri) gives no completion at all (ri 2.5.8). However, /usr/bin/ri (ri v1.0.1 - 20041108) does give completion but different from your

I've been using macports for ages, nothing wrong with it. Okay, it does not check to see the stock installs of OSX, and installs its own ruby, perl, python etc. Apart from that it's been very reliable.

Great work. For those on OSX, replace "seq" with "jot -" and it works. (perhaps you could check for seq at the start and use "jot -" instead.) The "wasd" keys get me each time. I've not lasted more than 10 seconds! Any chance of using arrow
