It's worth it. I did it last year, and it took almost two weeks before i felt like i was even somewhat productive again. However, now, i feel exactly the same way when trying to use an editor without a VIM mode. What? I have to use the arro

Theres a flipside to that envy though: The time needed to make sure the html+css+javascript renders the same on all the different browsers and their different versions. ... especially when they like to radically change everything all the ti

I can't help but wonder why they didn't try harder to fix spam. As far as i've been able to tell, it'll be same-old/same-old: Mark as spam, possibly automatic filters. It seems to me that part of the answer to the question "What would e-mai
