Watching it on a phone in the office, two of us chatting away, then the dev sat next to us casually says "you know this was before I was born".
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

IMHO Vi has a few issues, but emacs is broken. :wq

I could never remember if it was :x or :q that did "save and exit" and inevitably got it wrong.
:swearlots at that point.

The fun was typing ':' followed by your name and guessing what it would do...

Can't you just open debug mode and run the compiler, debugger and coffee machine within EMACS?
|
|
|
|

Maybe, but you could definitely run a very big telescope! When I was working for the RGO one of the developers wrote a control system using Emacs as the front end.
One day I aspire to having a signature.

Oh that's easy. See the red X in the top right corner of your SSH window? You just click that to exit VI.

"Window"?
"Window"?
I used VI in the pre-DOS days! We didn't have so many cycles to spare we could afford graphics!
Heck, we could barely run the damn compiler.

In that case, find the button on the case with overlapping "1" and "0" characters. Then either press (if a momentary switch) or flip (if a toggle) it.

Ummm... but the computer is a mainframe in another building behind physical security and I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to flip that switch.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

There're physical power lines between the grid and the building. Borrow a backhoe to disconnect them. You can do the same for the connection to the sites emergency generator. This will trigger a reboot as soon as the mainframe's UPS dies. If the site has a generator this will probably only take a few minutes since the generator would be the primary backup.
Sheesh! Why are you making this so difficult?

switch to using the terminal next to it - your session will time out in half an hour. When that happens vi will be closed.
Or you could call the operators and tell them your session has been disconnected - can they kill it

Have you tried? You'll never know for sure unless you try.
