    Watch the video. It's good. I have significant issues with the core argument, but mostly due to it's naïveté. It does not address the issue that there are numerous, hmm, micro-languages. Say one invented spontaneously between twins that onl

    I so almost distroyed my keyboard with coffee. Well except I read that there was an emacs macro that business folks at Amazon used for years. Hmm, maybe if there's an ArcEmacs rewrite?

    Didn't have one for several years and got out of the habit for awhile. There is some great drama and comedy and if you keep it to 2-4 hours a week I think it's as valid as any other entertainment. The only reality show that's not crap is Pr
