I've got this really nifty TrackPoint keyboard thing. My "mouse" is between my G, B, and H keys. My fingers NEVER have to leave the home-row. Its great. And the buttons are right below the spacebar, for easy clicking. Of course, the better solution is to not use software that requires that clicking thing anyway.
Another great thing is that the company that makes these (Unicomp) is made of old IBM/Lexmark employees who used to make those keyboards, and is made with most of the same tools/equipment! I love my Unicomp on-the-stick (basically a TrackPoint keyboard)
Heh, this would explain why most of the cars that GM is trying to sell in the US now are actually produced in Japan or Korea. Hell, quite a few of the cars they brand now are either remarked Toyotas (the Pontiac Vibe), Korean cars marketed only under their brand (Chevrolet Aveo, made by Daewoo, their Korean subsidiary.) They're also pushing more Suzukis and Isuzus in, too.
Looks like MS just found a nifty way to get free (to them) debugging for their code. And what's even better is, EVERYONE else pays, because the time it takes to examine the code has to be paid for, and its coming out of YOUR pocket. Fun fun fun!!
portupgrade - Keeps me on the bleeding edge in my ports!
ftp - Luke Mewburn's FTP (Debian fans can find it packaged as lukemftp) is the best command line FTP client around. Its the default ftp installed on Net, Open, and FreeBSD (it originated in NetBSD.) No goofy curses interfaces to get in the way, just enough extra trimmings to let you get the job done, when you're not sure where you want to be (otherwise, wget!)
screen - of course, this is the first thing I install on a clean system. Any serious console buff (as you've probably seen from the other threads) swears by this, on any unix-like system. I rather wish it were included as part of base system.
irssi - I used to use BitchX, but I tried it and this puppy on a 486 I used to know, and irssi is way faster, with equivalent feature set. I've never looked back.
centericq - konst makes bearable and intuitive curses interfaces, and centericq is no exception. Its the only console IM client I know to support all the major protocols, still in development.
joe - Joe's Own Editor is the greatest thing for those of us who used to use WordStar or Q-Edit (aka The Semware Editor) in PC DOS. It also has jpico and jemacs modes, for those who's fingers have different reflex action.
fetch - fetch is a rather good non-interactive file grabber, and is smaller than wget in footprint, but not as smart. If you're in a REALLY constrained environment (rescue floppy), fetch will serve you well enough.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned in other posts is news readers. There, I find that slrn is the winner. Though tin is good, too.

If you don't understand that, you don't need to care.
What's funny is that the CERT advisory gives Dan Bernstein credit for the work around, which he came up with over 7 years ago.

In FreeBSD, here are my favorite console apps:
cvsup-nogui - keep my source tree CURRENT
portupgrade - Keeps me on the bleeding edge in my ports!

You are hand-cuffed to a desk with a i386SX/16mhz, 4mb system running Windows95. Multitask, bitch!
