I see no reason to ever run vim as sudo. The best option in my opinion is to save files using ":w ! sudo tee %" This way you are not opening your system up to potential exploits within vim plugins. It also avoids issues such as this one.
No, it's not dead. It's relatively easy to build from source. I've been maintaining a large project myself and I'll tell you one of the most time consuming aspects is keeping up to date builds. They are, however, having a very hard time keeping up with the accelerated release cycles of firefox lately. For example, Pentadactyl won't work with Firefox 36.0a at the moment.
Sears does use a type of cell phone for checkout but it does seem to have a modified camera with a laser scanner instead. Something more interesting would have been a new type of amazon smart phone with built in laser scanner and some extra buttons for scan/talk.
I think either greasemonkey or firebug extensions would do what you are looking for. Remember, firefox is all about extendability. They want to only provide you with the minimal features which most users need and let you choose what features you want to add.
Unrelated but I have used Vimium too. In my opinion Pentadactyl for Firefox is far better than Vimium. Firefox can also be as fast or faster than chrome if you enable pipeling. Then there are also countless other plugins for Firefox that can improve productivity.
I think they are doing a pretty good job of that currently and not only that but they offer a huge amount financial incentives through grants and scholarships for women. Anything related to STEM will require a huge amount of alone time in order to learn the required skills. The idea of sitting in front of a computer writing code or solving math problems all day is probably about as appealing to them as any type of customer service or child care would be to me.
Honestly, society's gender roles are a result of our biology and not just dogmatic stereotyping. The truth is that women are biologically more interested in social occupations. It comes down to the way humans evolved and the attributes which make a good mother. Men are biologically more interested in thing based occupations which is why there are so many men in science and technology.
Don't do it! I entered all that information and it said I needed to manually authenticate. Basically, they want me to provide even more information. Can't opt out and I just gave them more info...
Technical documentation is on the site, but I'd rather show than tell.
