IMHO the headline should be changed to something like "openjdk packages are favoured over sun-java-* packages, which will be removed ...".

I have no idea what you are referring to.

Since some plugins write temporary files to the first directory in runtimepath, this could have unintended consequences though.

While this might be a nice move for people living in France, I fail to see the relevance of this post at a global (or even European) level.

Doesn't Windows Explorer support ctrl-x & ctrl-v for moving files? It's a long time since I used Windows but I'd be surprised if it didn't.

You learned your native language by immersion, not by swallowing and regurgitating spoonfuls of grammar and vocabulary. I remember a study about language learning that concluded that it's a matter of age and that the older you get

Interesting list. Where I live there are electric vehicles, and McDonalds sells salad. There are even record labels that sell not so shitty music. You're probably rigth on a global level with respect to Barbie though.

For tweaking plugins, you should use .vim/after/plugin/NAME.vim files. Otherwise, clone the repository, make your changes, and initiate a pull request.

No, you don't. One false positive, many woops, quite a few false negatives. After calling the script a second time, almost all guesses are wrong.

Does it still link to subdirectories instead of files? That was the reason why I switched to graft long ago.

The idea is to simulate that apps are installed in usual places (e.g. /usr/local/).

With respect to the second link: It always helps to know your data structures & their purposes--no matter what language you use, recognizable or not. With respect to performance: you might want to try writing a c-like solution and run t

The author lost me when I saw the image of the color mac. That device sucked. They should have chosen a new design for improved (and quieter) ventilation instead of sticking to the old design. That they reused the old design may have been r

I'm slightly amazed at how inconsistent these special queries work. For international users (I simply assume it's not just me), this trick only works if I add &hl=en to the URL. Any explanations?

Does he also have the same light/lamp/bulb? Without making sure parameters & the software used were the same, such a casual comparison doesn't seems too useful to me.

May I kindly ask why you put "German" in there? Do you actually think there are no US (or whatever nation you are from copycat) startups? Is there anything special about German copycat startups? Do you have evidence that in Germany there ar

Nice article. I don't agree on the version numbering scheme though. In vim, version numbers are major.minor. Each plugin should define a variable g:loaded_PLUGIN_NAME that is set to the version number as integer (= 100 * major + minor). I.e

A minor note: "konnen" is not a German word. I assume the author meant "konnten" (past form) vs "könnten" (2nd Konjunktiv/imperfect subjunctive).

I hardly use ruby anymore and if I use it I run 1.8. Are encodings in 1.9 really still that bad -- several years after its initial release.
