Bingo, thought what I had said sounded wrong, thanks for the clarification.

I know this is going to sound pedantic, however, optimizing by 99% would make them 1% less efficient? Right? Or am I muddled?

Ah ok, thanks for the correction.

I might be wrong here as I'm relatively new to vim and haven't used VS, but I'm pretty sure omnicompletion is the equivalent of intellisense in vim, http://vnfiles.ign.com/ects/css-tricks/VideoCast-101.mov

I was in your position a month or so ago, I've been working through Derek Wyatt's videos and have found them very helpful: http://www.derekwyatt.org/vim/vim-tutorial-videos/vim-novice...

Re:Why Ubuntu Linux is now ready for primetime on Saturday August 27, 2011 @05:40PM (#2932599)
I disagree on "Installing new software can be incredibly tedious and error-prone" with centralised package management, I much prefer installing something on linux than in windows, all it takes is "pacman -S" whatever, or alias that to something shorter, it also means searching for software is easy. In windows I have to go and search for it on the net etc.
Or talktalk, I don't even get cable out here in the country...

Try cycling, I find I think better on hills vs. the flat. They usually have more interested scenery and hence what I see usually triggers something in my mind; one of the reasons I like trail running.
Re:Mastering Git Basics by Tom Preston-Werner (video) on Monday June 27, 2011 @05:58PM (#2703165)
Thanks for posting this, I'd never used git before, neither looked into VCS (I'm just beginning to learn to program) and this provided a very decent understanding of the concept and how to use it!

That would make a great simulation to watch.

I'd also like to know if it's on OCW, would be very interesting.

Excellent post scythe, I fully agree with you. The comparison of numbers between gthub and 4chan is a nice indicator that there are more than these sociopaths, When you have lulzsec waving their arms in front of the internet it's sometimes easy to forget they're are millions of great people producing software, for others, for the betterment of humanity.
