I have created a (work-in-progress) Vim plugin [1], that uses Vim's conceal feature to visually map the relevant ASCII characters to printable characters. It sort of works, but there are known issues which I have listed in the README.

They aren't as rare as rings; hence no.

Orbit yes; but ring formation I imagine would require a delicate balance of forces to maintain equilibrium. Which would imply this ring is either very young or formed by an extraordinary coincidence or umm.. curated.

by hrjet 13y ago
Whoa! I guess the big news here is that rings around such a gravitationally weak body would be a rare occurrence in nature... indicating a high possibility of an artificially designed / constructed structure. Edit: Not sure if I am bei

You are conflating big with rich . It is possible to dislike the former and yet support the latter. Often, when companies get big , the motives change from "making a great product" to "milking the user for more money&quot

This is not a legal proceeding. It is more of an emotional outpouring of disappointment. The unwritten deal was that the funders were backing a low-overhead, indie organisation.

When it comes to installability and compatibility nothing beats Ubuntu. I have installed Ubuntu on about 10 machines (desktops + laptops) in the past couple of years. Always worked out of the box.

The main factor here seems to be hardware cost of upgrading to a newer version of Windows. Since Linux can run on older hardware, it is a cost-effective solution (in spite of the cost of developing a new solution). Also, I didn't get y

End-to-end encryption is a possible solution. Assuming there is standard for encryption that hasn't been broken yet.

To me Xtend seems like an ideal Java++. I actually like that it compiles down to Java. The only hitch is that the Xtend is still very much a work in progress. It doesn't support inner classes and anonymous classes!

I welcome this direction. Google needs to make money directly from user, instead of advertisements. What I don't like is, even after I pay for this, I will still see ads and my data will still be farmed.

For someone not familiar with the Valve stack, does this work with any OpenGL application? Or is it only for those using Valve's SDK?

When I saw the scene, I imagined the cord and/or the parachute to be elastic. So even if the cord is taut, it may not be in a stable stationary state; the cord might snap beyond a certain amount of stress or the parachute might unhinge
