The quality of programmers tends to vary wildly.

Raising kids at all seems like a huge success for a basketball.

On topic, I agree - my parents were very frugal and it sure has rubbed off on me.

At Utah (graduated three months ago) we were required to take one class that used MIPS and another class that used x86 (the compilers class was optional). They were great, and I agree seem pretty essential.

I think you're right that the ritual accounts for a lot of the pleasure, and I'm okay with that. Another drink I love, yerba mate, is all about the ritual. I don't know if this is universally the case, but the protocol I was taught includes the proper way to prepare the mate in the gourd, that the host always pours new hot water in, that making the sucking sound when you're out of hot water is okay (and I think even encouraged), and that everyone drinks from the same gourd together. It's an acquired taste, but the company and friendship that the ritual begets is worth the initial palate shock.

Huh. Interesting. That'll teach me to make jokes without consulting the history books.

Why was taking the team lead position foolish? Were there no benefits to accompany the drawbacks?

If it was released today, they would skip the awkward do-i-spell-it-out-or-do-i-add-vowels part in favor of the catchy-but-meaningless-project-name and just call it Sequel. Then they could be fresh and say it's the "sequel" to ORM.

(Though you might go for Seequill or something so people could google it.)

So MacVim does have this functionality then, yes? You can have multiple top-level windows, each having multiple tabs, each having multiple splits.
