Re: the multi-line JS stuff in Chrome, there's snippets!

Probably not 100% what you wanted, but they're really handy for sketching out code fragments.

I'm a bit low-tech in regards to my password scheme, but here's how I do it:

First, I generated an 8 character password using pwgen (great program, btw) that is just mixed-case. I then add several characters based on the name of the website/service I'm logging into.

Using this, I can easily remember my password to everything, and each one is unique.

I was excited when I found out about this a year ago and tried it out...I hated it, though. There's no indication as to what state you're in and it can get maddening at times!

Luckily, zsh actually allows you to change your prompt when the mode changes. I have mine set up to change the color of part of it whenever I'm in command mode. Definitely worth setting up.

The website is beautiful, but I don't even think the notion of a "javascript shopping cart" should exist. It's stupidly dangerous. This is real money we're talking about! Wow.

Also, this confused me for a few seconds...I thought dials went clockwise ;) http://i.imgur.com/QEl7v.png

It's really not that difficult if you use a parser + whitelist. You don't have to care about this sort of thing if you limit people to using certain tags/attributes in WYSIWYG editors and other inputs.

Disabling Vimium is a bit overkill, you can press "i" to go into insert mode and it'll let you do as you please...if you use it more often, though, it's best to blacklist it.

I didn't know about the insert mode thing for a long time, but when I figured it out it was a "duh" moment :)

Think of it like smashing your guitar or something else equally rock 'n roll :)

Shift+click the "plus" button and it'll maximize. I've been using BetterTouchTool's window movement abilities to set hotkeys to maximize and halve windows. It'll also do an aero-snap-esque thingy. Pretty useful

Cmd+tab is pretty nice, keep in mind you can use Cmd+` to switch between windows of the current application. It's a bit different than the way Windows does it, but once you use it for a little bit you get used to it and Windows feels a bit awkward ;)

I'm currently working with these for a senior design project...I must say, I'm not a huge fan. You can do some neat things with the accelerometers, but the RF range is severely limited. Having worn one for extended periods of time, I must say that it's not something I'd enjoy wearing around. It's bulky and a bit unsightly.

Still, it's fun to hack with, and you can do some cool things with accelerometer data. Definitely worth the $25.

I must have missed that post; thank you!

I'm really disappointed there wasn't more information on what he was running, this is something I'd love to set up on my own, with or without the Rasperry Pi.

You are correct.

And that is why VisualStudio is considered an IDE rather than an editor. As with the rest of the *nix toolkit, the philosophy with Vi(m) is to do one simple thing (editing) and do it really really well, for better or worse.

I think this exemplifies this: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/tips.html#shell-window

gVim runs just fine on windows, although I cannot speak for the terminal equivalent.

The built-in terminal is terrible (although at least in Lion it has 256 color support...). I'd hardly consider it a mark against OS X though considering that it is just a piece of software that is included by default. There are plenty of other options out there. I'd STRONGLY recommend checking out iTerm2 next time you're on OS X, it's the best terminal emulator I've had the pleasure of working with.

I really can't stand websites that force me to increase the width of my browser window in order to accomodate their layouts. This website is simply text, having a fluid layout is not terribly difficult.

I really love this idea, and I want to compete but it appears the site is down, and I'm unable to submit solutions. I've been wanting a version of Vimgolf targeted at Ruby for quite some time, it's an awesome way to improve your skills and uncover great tricks.
