Kate! Surely you can't be serious, real programmers use Gnome, not KDE. Why, I'll bet you prefer statically-typed programming languages and Intel chips, when everyone knows that dynamic typing and AMD chips are far superior!

I use Kate to edit my Ruby code. It's nice, and yes, it even supports block selections. And my laptop has a Sempron!

For console editing, I used to use Nano, but I've... [more]

Real programmers code in hex on the console.
I'm sorry, real programmers apply their Neodymiums directly to the platters.

Some of the male students have also stuck maxi-pads to themselves in support of their female classmates.

Nice to see the kids sticking up for each other.

Haha...sticking up. Heh....sorry.

The HS I went to (graduating class: 50) had security guards (2 fat cops) and the administration was planning to put in metal detectors, but the students and their parents quickly put a stop to that. None of the... [more]
