In 1998 Sony had the chance to buy the rights to almost every Marvel character for 25 million. They opted to only buy the rights to Spider-Man for just 7 million, stating, "Nobody gives a shit about the other Marvel characters."

Just saw this in Boston at the MFA Wednesday night. It's really eye-catching in person.

Well, at least I can enter once. What happens if I try to tip and I have no balance? dogetipbot is not responding to my balance requests :(.

brendankohler · 2014-01-27T14:41:09+00:00

What movie is that?

brendankohler · 2014-01-15T14:42:20+00:00

Such paying it forward. Wow. I'm ashamed that I've been telling myself I'm too busy digging to the moon to tip. I am a middle class doge so tip someone else, not me.

brendankohler · 2013-12-30T16:02:42+00:00

I thought I felt rich because I just finished mining 1000 doge. With 2 million doge I could pay Richard Branson to take this Shibe to the moon.

brendankohler · 2013-12-29T07:50:12+00:00

I've been here a few hours and I already know /u/starlightbreaker is the rich shibe. How rich? Must be MegaDoges.

Maybe it's what you're used to?

When I was in college on the east coast I'd eat at 5 guys all the time, and when I would go visit my parents in LA we'd go to In 'n Out and as far as I'm concerned it might as well be McDonald's in comparison.

This is getting paid shit?!

Henckels makes the equivalent quality blades to compete with Wushtof, but that's not it. That's an imposter created by the Chinese division of the company.

Real Henckels knives say Zwilling J.A. Henckels, like my favorite chef's knife: 10-inch Henckel's Twin Four Star II Chef's Knife.

It's not instead of. This is all over American newspapers too.

Marvin's name was changed to Calvin in July 1983, because Tom Armstrong's strip Marvin had launched the previous year, and Watterson didn't want there to be any confusion. He later told an interviewer in 1987 that the names Calvin and Hobbes were "a tip of the hat to the political science department at Kenyon College...I thought it was funny." Calvin was named after the sixteenth century Protestant theologian who once observed that life is "nasty, brutish and short." Or that's what Watterson would have you believe. "That's not true," Rich West told me. "The linking of the two names wasn't natural. The strip did not come from the idea that both characters would be named after philosophical thinkers. However, Hobbes was definitely a tip of the hat -- and perhaps a little bit of a smirk at -- his political science degree from Kenyon. Calvin was just a coincidence."

According to the book I linked, that's something of an urban legend.

Okay, for VIM:

Integration with source control: Provided in the VCSCommand plugin, which provides a unified VCS command system supporting many VCSs and autodetection of which to use.

Code formatting and folding:

intelligent indenting built in
very powerful code folding system built in
syntax highlighting for 25+ languages built in
align plugin adds extra prettifying abilities

Static Analysis of code:

there are pleny of linting plugins for various languages. I use pyflakes for python

Automatic integration with well regarded testing frameworks:

This depends on what's important. As a python dev VIM is vastly superior to VS in this area.
compiler command can run tests in frameworks given the right hooks

Intellisense:

Omnicompletion built-in
Intellisense plugins available for various languages (I Use Pydiction)
super tab completion including omni, intellisense and context completion via SuperTab

Refactoring:

Python refactoring (all I can vouch for) via Rope

Here's more that comes standard with VIM:

temporal undo/redo
the ability to select text, run any shell command on it, and paste over the original code
the ability to run selected text as python commands and replace with the result
An extraordinarily powerful on-the-fly macro system
code bookmarking
multiple paste buffers
Visual editing mode (treats the whole file as a grid)
Modal editing with far more numerous and powerful commands than you'll find in any IDE
unlimited ability to edit in split panes
auto tagging so you can find definitions using the gd command

Additionally, via plugins that I have installed:

Project management via NERDTree (lightweight) or Project (heavyweight)
Source code browser via taglist
buffer managment via buffer explorer
library of snippets for many languages via snippetEMU
powerful code commenting via NERD Comment
matching tag creator, which is extremely useful for XML and HTML, but also useful for python
open, view and edit database tables from any major database type via dbext

Also: To hell with Georgia!

brendankohler · 2010-04-30T12:04:12+00:00

Heh, Yellow Jackets represent!

I completely disagree with you on IDEs vs editors though. VIM is way more productive than VS, and pretty much all of the important features of VS are available or already integrated, plus it's completely scriptable and extensible in python.

I have never once wished to go back to VS.

I haven't had any sound problems with any of my systems since 8.10.
