If you join my team and tell me you're a programmer but when you sit down with a terminal you have no idea what to do, then you're off my team and I don't respect you as a programmer. Sorry if this offends you, but how can yo

Well, I wasn't trying to be arrogant.. sorry. But would you really take a programming class taught by a professor who doesn't know how to use a terminal?

I went back to Sublime after using Vim for a while but then realized I was going to have a terminal open 24/7 anyway so what's the point? Then I learned how to use a terminal multiplexer and now Sublime and other GUI editors just

The GNOME Devs did the right thing though. They are open source so the community can fork anything they want and there are plenty of other really similar DEs. Ubuntu and GNOME can't compete with modern UIs without making something that

>Vim: The Editor You Need To Read (At Least) Two Books On To Use Well Is this some kind of joke? If this person is serious I think they're doing more harm to the image of Sublime than good.

Cannabinoids are very interesting. They're naturally occurring in both plants and animals and researches believe the Endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a very large role in homeostasis. Cannabinoids have even been shown to induce apopt

Well this is just your opinion. IMHO, I think you are incorrect. I think you and people like you do more harm to the image of Apple than good and I think your post adds no value to this discussion.

I think we're all severely fooling our selves if we don't realize every OS copies features from other OS's.

Don't know why you're framing Ubuntu in a bad light. Windows does something similar with Bing. It's pretty easy to turn it off on ubuntu, will Apple allow you to do the same?

Same here. I'm doing some iOS development on Ubuntu right now because I was having issues with my new monitor in OS X. Guess I gotta reboot into the OS X partition and take a break from having my new monitor. But hey, it's nice to
