Vim has a command for putting Text Mate in fullscreen on OSX Lion? It really does have everything.
Re:Code.Google.com now supports git on Friday July 15, 2011 @06:00PM (#2769312)
Almost every worthwhile repo on Github has a README. A lot of them even use markdown. In terms of the source code, Github is for Git users--people that care about the code and commit history. Google Code isn't tied to a single VCS like Github, but it should still be developer-centric. After all, it's Google Code, not some app store.

Re:High school grad builds 8-bit computer from scratch on Saturday June 18, 2011 @01:19PM (#2669042)
I think there's a lot of understanding to gain from building a computer from scratch. We've abstracted computing so much that starting over gives you a unique perspective on some of the big problems still out there, as well as a definite appreciation for the innovations we've come up with--even if it's nothing new.

A quick google shows someone wrote a plugin called drawit.vim. Personally, I think this is one case where I'd rather use the mouse.
I'd argue that it's much more than 12. That would be ~20 GB/movie. I don't think Netflix's HD streaming is anywhere near Blu-ray quality. My roommates stream Netflix all day long and our usage has yet to break 200 GB. Not that I'm defending Comcast...
