I admire your courage. :) - ablez3, on 10/12/2007, -9/+72i will ask this at the risk of being dug down and laughed at but
.....what is Vi? - GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+63A Vista mug would have magnets attached to the bottom so that it sticks to everything and as a result slows the process of drinking coffee down tremendously. Also when you go to drink a big shutter will come over the top and say 'Coffee is Hot! Accept or Deny'.
- bariswheel, on 11/08/2007, -1/+49period.
- penno, on 10/12/2007, -5/+46dugg cos vi is a Real Man's editor. ^_^
- rustyangel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32Not sure what am I addicted to more: caffeine or vim
- bIuebonics, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30wow... i read your comment as "dugg, cosine initial velocity"...

A Unix text editor. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+34i
meh, no need, I already know all the commands
esc
ZZ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24ah, the good old vi v. emacs debate rears its ugly head...
- Erowid, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27@TenebrousX
HAHAHAHA!
*clicks red thumbs down button* - GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23A real man memorises the ASCII set and edits his code using a hex editor.
- cplusplus, on 11/08/2007, -4/+27In case you don't know, period is the command to repeat the previous command -- making bariswheel's comment very witty.
- Haphazardness, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20"What's that command again?..... damn it..I just spilled coffee on my keyboard again."
- pap3rw8, on 11/08/2007, -0/+20They have this in stock over at thinkgeek
http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/mugs/7bbe/ - InetRoadkill, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18vi is dead. long live vim.
- GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18Emacs is great with Vi emulation.
- pauleric, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11No emacs because it's too bloated to fit on a coffee mug.
- mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8^ Because you use Emacs.
- GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6They are doing special things with the Emacs cup to account for the RSI's. Giving Emacs users a normal cup is akin to giving trousers to a 2 leg amputee.
- JonRohan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/mugs/7bbe/
Thinkgeek has it too, and it isn't out of stock. - GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The Emacs mug has 9 handles all that have to be held at once in order to open the top of the mug to drink coffee.
- InetRoadkill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5// "A real man memorises the ASCII set and edits his code using a hex editor." //
Don't laugh. That's exactly how we used to do it and we hand-assembled the code as well. - sulf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@counterplex
Not true. ed is _the_ editor!
http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed.msg.html - crispee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@GMorgan
*shudders* That's just as vile as VILE
http://invisible-island.net/vile/ - rejoined, on 10/12/2007, -7/+11I was in the same conundrum as *ablez3*, because I had no idea what VI is..until *buyer687* helpfully pointed it out.
I initially thought, that it was a *Vista* mug with some Vista key/serial numbers. - BlackAdderIII, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"""ah, the good old vi v. emacs debate rears its ugly head..."""
The argument that old people can be friendly about, and half-joke about.
It's weird, but when I see ribbing about vi/emacs, it feels comfortable like thick carpet or slippers. Kind of like hearing an age-old half-joking family argument about football teams. - feelmydisease, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6a real man uses any editor he pleases...
- ApplCmptrDood, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Dugg for the submitter's name :]
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8agreed... People I work with are all confused as to why I would prefer to use vi over gedit or something like that...
- BlackAdderIII, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"""The Emacs mug has 9 handles all that have to be held at once in order to open the top of the mug to drink coffee."""
Yep, and each one has an interesting gadget attached, and we love it.
The same company makes its own Vim mug, too, and on the side is written:
"You don't gots the moves for the emacs mug, sausagefingers." - chudpi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Got one of these puppies at SCALE in Feb.
Coffee just tastes better when with that added pinch of annoyance in the Emacs drone I work with. - Diggtatorship, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Man, I need one of these. I get around alright, but there's room for improvement...
- alex4u2nv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes these basic commands are almost committed to muscle memory for vi users. What would be helpful, is if the cup had a regexp cheat sheet for vi ;).
- rhesuspieces00, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2so can i get an emacs espresso machine?
- ArielMT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That would be Vince Idiot.
http://www.google.com/search?q=vi+vince+idiot&btnG=Search points to a few versions of the story. - eonblue, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"period."
without an i thats a long list of pure mess!
pasting wahtever is in the buffer, going to the last letter of the next word, replacing the current letter with an i, going into insert mode below the current line and typing d. on it!
the sad part is I have done that enough times to know=( - alex4u2nv, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@InetRoadkill "vi is dead. long live vim"
vi isn't dead. It is a subset, and the heart of every vi clone out there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi#Derivatives_and_clones
On a default Linux distro install, you'll find that vi->vim or one of it's clone. - adrianmonk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hmm, I think I like my vi coffee mug better. I've had it for about 8 years, and it
looks somewhat like this one:
http://www.cafepress.com/geekcheat.11507711
Note that that picture of the mug is horrible. It's not really distorted like in that photo. - cope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i just bought a few of these off thinkgeek...
- Derrekito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I like pico a lot, however it isn't common when it comes to some of the live distros I use. Vi seems to be the established console based text editor... am i incorrect on this assumption?
- mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2$ ed
Dear Robert,
?
help
?
quit
?
Ctrl+Z
$ sudo killall ed - 256byteram, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2A friend and I ordered some of these mugs. When we got them the box clearly said 'vi Mug' but they contained /dev/mug mugs :(
Couldn't be bothered to go to the trouble of returning them. - sup34dog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I wish that I could find a vim mug that was so stylish :(
...but at least there is one.
http://www.cafepress.com/vimrefmug.25635024 - mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What was your point..?
- Huitz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Where can I get an emacs mug? I suspect such a mug would provide the same great tasting coffee as a vi mug, though it'd probably be much easier to handle.. Added straw.. ergonomic design.. It might even tilt itself instead of kicking me in the nuts when I try to drink coffee..
- dbalaski, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3 vi is cool -- every Unix/Linux system has it plus I know the commands by heart.
I don't want to hear any whining about which editor is better ---
As far as I'm concerned vi is king -- I starting my computing career using PUNCH CARDS (my former employer. City of Waterbury data center didn't dump IBM DOS/VSE cards based systems until 1990 ) .... - Derrekito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When I saw the title I was trying to figure out how anyone could get a console based text editor and a media player to work together (was I alone?)
But at any rate, this is a neat idea, I always seem to forget the one command I need at that given moment! - ArielMT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I got my vi mug from http://www.geekcheat.com several years ago, yet as much as I use it for coffee, I'm impressed it hasn't worn out yet. Their version doesn't stuff as many commands as the NoStarch version, but I didn't discover this until today. I know where I'm getting my next reference mug from.
- Goosemaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol....
