I don't think you fully understood what this thing is. (I'm not affiliated, I just feel the overwhelming urge to clarify.) They don't have to follow _you_. They do have to follow @dmpp. (I think this may be what you said. "You" seemed a

Unfortunately, it seems to clash loudly with one of the Ruby or Rails plugins I use (most likely rails.vim, and its RAbbrevs). Being admittedly fairly ignorant when it comes to vimscript, as well as being impatient, I removed snipMate for

I think the point of the negative votes was to try to get the point across that sarcasm, snarkiness, whatever, adds nothing to the conversation. A better tactic would be to add a negative vote, or simply post something thoughtful that adds

Instead of joking about it, you might find it interesting to actually go browse the available methods, as well as some of the examples. (Link to the examples page: http://www.gop.gov/aboutapi/documentation ) Take an honest look at, say,

For an rsync-like solution that also handles the tar-ing and (GnuPG) encryption of whatever directory you want to backup, take a look at duplicity (if you're on some Linux flavor). http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ It is a command-line soluti

You're thinking of the old model, Monty: "Unlike monty, QA is 100% battery powered, and gets 4-6 hours of runtime on every charge. Monty's pneumatics required it to be tethered at all times. Also, its much lighter at around 35lbs. Monty is

It's not really a new revision, though, is it? It's just a different size of the newest revision that has been out for a while. On top of that, it's a "release" that has been assumed for months. It strikes me as a bug-fix release, instea

It is noteworthy that this was created by Phusion, the same people who created Phusion Passenger (mod_rails) and Ruby Enterprise Edition. Basically, a company that really enjoys solving high-profile problems related to Ruby. (First, Rails

Both. They're both Ruby. The learning curve for one over the other changes very little ultimately. In practice, however, Merb docs, tutorials, articles, howtos, et cetera, are lacking. That is reality. If you're starting from scratch w/

There are plenty of people in the Ruby community who avoid Rails (whether their reasons are valid or not). I think you'll find plenty of Rubyists who wish to create things outside of Rails. Whether that means they will be throwing weight

I agree that competition is good. There is (was) concern that loud, shallow, infantile arguments of Merb versus Rails were damaging, to an extent. If nothing else, they were really, really annoying, and too frequent. This may be the "spl

You don't have to. As jmah said above, :TOhtml is the standard way to do it. First, you can issue the command :let html_use_css = 1. Highlight some code and enter :TOhtml, and you'll have non-font-tag-ified, css-ified HTML that uses your

According to the comments, the IRS grants automatic extensions to October 15th (for non-profits). It is (again, according to some commenter) normal for a non-profit to issue financial statements this late in the following year. Do keep in

I like the concept. I would have to agree with the other commenter who mentioned that finding a designer would be a good idea. I was also unable to read parts of the site. The thing about the name 'mushpot' is that I'm not going to forget

Apologies for the short notice. I wasn't sure of the best way to strike a balance between "Whoa, too short of notice" and "Oh crap, I totally forgot that one guy wanted to have some geek meeting at some bar somewhere last night". I suppose

I thought you may be interested in reading some of the bullet points contained in this post: http://merbist.com/2008/11/09/merb-1-0-released/ We can all live as one. It doesn't have to be "Merb versus Rails". It doesn't have to be a war
