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…

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…
