I wonder what software package he uses.

For those who want to learn BZR and help revive it by adopting it in your projects, there's a nice book here: http://www.foxebook.net/bazaar-version-control/

I mean, don't not fixing what ain't broke is certainly a matter of integrity. Fixing something to the latest hippest new fad just to "attract young hackers" detracts from integrity. Making the editor an awesome badass attractive editor should be enough. Otherwise you'll only be attracting groupthink-prone douchebags, anyway.

Thanks, so much. I might be in touch with you about this when I get around to trying it out.
kro0ub··on NSA seeks to build quantum computer that could crack most types of encryption
Is it unreasonable to call a thread that decidedly ignores quantum attacks worthless? I mean, absolutely speaking, given that quantum attacks really are or will be out there, is it not bad advice to suggest systems be built with quantum-vulnerable algos?

Do these affect the commands used by orgmode?

How about with Arch?

ECC is invulnerable to quantum attacks? According to pqcrypto.org, ECC is "dead, dead, dead."

Also, are the keybindings configurable so as to be coherent with Vim's?

I think I'll really consider this. Which EMacs should I install for this purpose?

What's the most compatible or highest parity implementation for Vim?

I think the subsequent OK'ing is unfortunate. Attracting younger hackers shouldn't be a more important goal than integrity.

Because it's important to have a cohesive set of packages that are parts of the GNU project. It's about culture and cohesion, not just licensing.

What's the accepted most mature Vim equivalent or clone for org mode? Is there any?

Point.

kro0ub··on Protesters vandalize Google bus, block Apple shuttle
Again, way to totally miss the point. Whether or not the smashing is justified is a much larger discussion, though largely irrelevant to establishing your repeated evasiveness. So let's say for this point's sake that it absolutely isn't justified, under any circumstances. Does my point not still stand?

Your suggestion to the window smashers was to "get the city to write them a fucking parking ticket". I asked you why you think they would be engaging in the tactics that they are engaging in if that were any sort of viable channel through which to have their grievances addressed. As far as I can tell, you've done nothing to address my question, and your suggestion to the protesters remains invalid and meaningless. I think you should retract your condemnation of them, since so far you've been unable to propose a realistic alternative.

> So get the city to

If getting your municipal government to act on your behalf was so simple, do you really think they would be resorting to smashing windows? You're so blind, dude.

> Employees aren't trying

The employees profit from their plight, and are not of the working class.

The ability to buy out public infrastructure inherently amounts to plutocracy, which is unacceptable.
kro0ub··on Protesters vandalize Google bus, block Apple shuttle
Way to totally miss the point, though. Trampling on the ostensible-if-fictitious rule of law is outrageous, and accordingly instills outrage, which is often manifested in such ways as breaking windows of vehicles.

> not elitist to want to go to work.

To the employed elite, I can see why it would seem that way. Of course elite isn't a precisely appropriate term, but relatively speaking, it is an elitist stance.

> not elitist to want people to be civil.

Actually, yes, it is, and quite so. Try being "civil" when you're homeless or struggling to fill your stomach. Seriously, just try it.

FTFY.
