Yes I'm sure it can. What I'm curious about, is it so good an editor that people commonly use it for general text editing for non-code text? I know Vim and Emacs gets used like that a lot, maybe Notepad too.

Visual Studio? Sure, as long as you're only going to be coding on Windows . I'm curious, does anyone use Visual Studio for non-code editing? For example, I'm typing this in Vim right now. I use Vim for lots of meant-for-human-readers tex

How do you see your screen outdoors? I get tired trying to ignore my reflection. What laptop do you use? Are you enthusiastic about its outdoor use?

Is porn illegal in the UK? I assume not. Would a UK parent be arrested if their kid found a parent's porn magazine? I assume/hope not. Finally, where is the evidence/research that this change will have the desired effect, or even that the c

I'm not making the argument that I noted, I'm just pointing out that it fits within the twisted logic of our current situation. I agree with your points, and I don't feel any safer for the new procedures. Indeed, I feel less safe, because t

The way to stop the sexual assaults is not to target the sexual assaults, but to target flying. Don't opt out of the scanners, the opt out won't be available forever anyway. Just don't fly. Not on a particular day. Just don't fly. Currently

Another point of view: If lots of registered people link to interesting NYT stories, it might a) entice more people to register, and b) encourage NYT to continue the service. There's nothing wrong with the service, it's just something that

There is no substitute for being face to face with family and friends. For co-workers, not so much. Of course you lose something, but it's not as important a loss as not seeing family face to face. I think the solution, for some, is to live

It's hard to think of a procedure that would encourage more disrespect and fear of government, its personnel and policies than the aggressive pat down. It's clearly meant as intimidation. Your government disrespects you so much that it will
