Then maybe enough others like you will take notice a little later on and correct it. Just don't worry about how everyone else votes--they're not the ones you get to decide on.

Wait, that's what some countries do--ground floor != first floor.

I see plenty of pointless, off-topic comments that deserved to be downvoted without explanation. But I agree that if you want to downvote just because you disagree, you should probably state your case why. Or upvote someone who already ha

Yes, I'm aware of pg's opinion.

Some people just down-vote anything they disagree with despite any merits the comment may have.

Sorry, but it's Python that uses the "batteries included" phrase. http://www.python.org/about http://www.google.com/search?q=python+"batteries+included"

There was a Firefox plugin that did this, but it's not 3.0 compatible.

Why don't we just use carrier pigeons when our favorite message boards are down, too.

That can be one of the most frustrating things about using a new language. Great idea, hope you can implement it yourself.

If there's no community, who wrote the books or improved the documentation? Who publishes a ton of books for a language no one uses?

Terminal.app doesn't behave exactly the same as an xterm, so using "xterm-color" is not ideal. I would suggest "dtterm" or "Apple_Terminal" if it's available.

Terminal.app still only supports 8* colors. And GNU screen is a more-than-capable replacement for tabs. I'll have to try out MouseTerm later.

I think you've got the NSA confused with the TSA or CIA.

No self-respecting terminal user should suffer with Terminal.app--xterm supports more colors and more features. Even iTerm is a better alternative.

The difference I was trying to point out is that Emacs is always in "insert mode" in the vi sense. In vi normal mode, many commands don't require modifier keys. Vim has syntax-aware navigation, too. And what Emacs calls "modes", Vim calls

The rest of us can see it just fine. But I will say that the previous two favicons were much better.

Was there this much fuss the last time they changed the favicon? Sheesh. Get over it already.

Playing an instrument has a good correlation with higher intelligence. And it's no secret that hackers are some of the smartest.

I use ctrl-_ (usually available as ctrl-7, too) for my screen escape. My biggest complaint is the difficulty using the scrollback buffer.

In addition to number of battery cells and expected life, perhaps you could list mHh, too. Some cells are more equal than others.

And all the smug emacs and vim users just nod and says "Welcome to the party".

And it's the lack of this "metric" that keeps the great programmers from making 10x.

For something like Firefox I'd stick with its built-in add-on manager. Mostly b/c there's not likely to even be many of them available through apt.
