When I'm in a *NIX operating system, I usually use Nano, Gedit, or Kate. When I'm in Windows, I use Notepad++.

Notepad++.

sorry, but the whole emacs does *, along with foo() bar() is just beyond stale.

I like MetaPad, but preference goes to edit.com

Why am I hearing the Altered Beast "Rise from your grave" ..?

Oh yeah, because this thread is TWO YEARS OLD.

I usually use nano since I'm usually in linux doing some quick edit ot a config file or program when text editing. For larger projects I use Kate. In windows it's Notepad and in DOS it's edit.com. If I had a Mac, I'd probably use TextEdit. For word processing I like Abiword or Openoffice.

notepad, for programming, taking notes and sometimes drawing IC pinouts

Notepad++. Hits the best balance of resource usage and features of every alternative I tried. It doesn't require installation. And of course, I also think it's just a good program overall that I like using.

I use a paperclip on an RS232 port and enter bits by shorting the pins.

When my n64 controller wasn't working (or i couldn't find it)... i used to make a contoller with a pullup resistor on the data line and tapping key conected to the gnd.

It was tricky at first, but in the end i had VERY quick fingers.

You are all wusses. I shoot special electromagnetic rays from my eyes that cleverly add the file I want to the HD directly from my mind.

Now if only I could conjure up a new graphics card.

Notepad? Are you still living in the stone age?

Any other editor is better than that old artifact from the past.
Try Notepad++,TED,metapad,Geany,...

But the coolest one is VI from the commandline.

********, obviously. He's typing his password, which appears like this to other users.

Post by **Agozer** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 8:53 pm

Ooh, I get it. Yeah, doing stupid shit like showcasing one's password without proper asterisk conversion is asking for trouble.
