I've been using VIM and there are some thing's that I like about it, as well as somethings that I'd like to change. 1 - I'm not sure what I'm meant to do about the .vimrc file? I have one, and it's location is /usr/share/vim Is that the one that I'm meant to use, or am I meant to make a custom one? Edit - I've made a .vimrc file, and it's in my home folder 2 - I want to use different languages, at the moment I'm only using C but before long I'll use others, is this something that I need to bear in mind with any .vimrc stuff? 3 - I want to make is so that what I press return (new line) it stays in line with the current indentation that I'm using, so tha…

I'm not expecting much from Amazing Spider-Man 2. Andrew Garfield is a great Peter Parker and Spider-Man but Marc Webb has shown little discipline and Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are... whatever the opposite of a Joss Whedon is. The special effects should be great. The action should be fun. But even a cursory look at how much Sony allowed to be crammed into the sequel to what was an already unfocused original makes anything short of a train wreck hard to imagine. Still. Spider-Man. I'll be seeing it as soon as possible. If you want more web-slinging fun as well, you can head on over to iTunes and get both of Sam Raimi's superior Spider-Men — I saw you seeing what I did…

T-Mobile US wants to start selling the iPhone on its MetroPCS customers. MetroPCS, acquired by T-Mobile last year, now functions as a pre-paid brand within the fourth-place U.S. carrier. One of the bigger issues standing in the way of bringing Apple's flagship device to MetroPCS customers is affordability, according to Recode: Part of the challenge is finding an attractive way to make it affordable enough for all of MetroPCS's customers, many of whom have tighter budgets and some of whom might not have good enough credit to qualify for device financing. Various iPhone models are available as part of pre-paid plans and carriers, including Verizon's ALLSET plans,…

Sprint's new International Connect: Call & Text $15 add-on plan lets Framily Plan subscribers use their voice and text allotments to call and text internationally at no additional charge. Except for that $15, that is. With it, Sprint Framily Plan subscribers can count international calls to 65 countries against the voice minutes they're already paying for, and texts to more than 180 countries (which is just about all of the countries there are). There's a lot of minutiae to International Connect: Call & Text, though, so we'll break it down for you. Counted against a Framily Plan allotment are: Calls to landline numbers in 65 countries Calls to mobile num…

Hi I have a desktop pc that previously had XP on and worked and when the tech support was being terminated I decided to change to Vista to give me some more time. I don't like the look of Win 8 and feel it would benefit from a touch screen to work better. Anyway, Vista would not install after several attempts. I thought it was the hard drive so i changed that, I thought it was the DVD of the operating system but that was checked to be fine (it went on a laptop fine) and I think the RAM is fine. I had the BIOS set to cd rom for first boot device and it is currently set for Hard drive first device. Still not getting past the message of Unable to boot from windows. I ass…
