I don't know about Windows or Mac, but in Linux you can configure the windows key to be a extra mod key, kinda like Shift and Alt.
A lot of keyboard oriented windows managers (which I personally enjoy using) require that you press a certain key to activate the window manager's commands.
For example, Ctrl-t on Ratpoison or StumpWM or the Alt key on Xmonad. In those cases, you can use the windows key instead of those.
Or you can just learn emacs and start complaining that you need MORE keys on the keyboard
According to this there are 5 files that start with "ls".
Except for ls.c, all those files have only one entry on their history. The "initial revision" on 1993-06-16.
On the other hand, you can check the history of ls by yourself. Ignoring a "build" commit done on 2010-09-18 (and by the same guy who did the "initial revision" ones), the last commit is from 2010-07-01 with the message header of "ls: use the POSIX date style when the locale does not specify one".
While not extremely important, it does show that ls keeps receiving updates to this day.
Just as a comparison, Wikipedia could apparently fill 1424 volumes,
Also this appears to be the result of printing the longest 2500 articles of Wikipedia.

You can use the OS module to try and abstract some of those problems. For example, os.mkdir() or os.chdir() always does the right thing, using the string os.sep (if I recall correctly, it's been a long time since I've last used it), although I've just noticed that os.chdir() only works on Unix and Windows, so I guess your point still stands.

Also know as the "Minority Report" effect.
It's hard to feel such pleasure when you don't have enough money to eat.
Well, sur-
I'm so alone, I don't have any friends... I keep eating them...
That's a solution I guess.
Also, my pet kitty ate the body of a shopkeeper. After it stole his inventory.
Is there an app for that?
Is it because of your plans that you say is there an app for that?
I wrote a patch for VIM that did code folding the way I wanted it done, for example
That's it!
When I get out of college, I'll just send my .emacs folder and my email and wait for the calls to come :)

They already exist.

Tomorrow Valve announces the release date for Half Life 2 Episode 3 as May 2nd.
What are you doing that makes 10 seconds less on your boot such a big deal!?

Now just buy a bunch of those link cables and code a few apps on those and you're good to go.
The only solution is to outsource a massive number of programmers and rewrite the software..
FTFY?

You can also use Layer 8.
Wikipedia has a couple more terms that you can use.

I checked to see if parent's post had 140 characters.
I was not dissapointed.
I'm quite sure Wikipedia will give a skewed image of the past compared to what people actually thought.
That's why I only trust slashdot's editors.

[1]> (format nil "~r shillings only." 1234567890)
output: "one billion, two hundred and thirty-four million, five hundred and sixty-seven thousand, eight hundred and ninety shillings only."
(Sorry, but you did say "old" man :))
You can also do this:
[2]> (defun replace-old-man-with-simple-lisp-function (shillings) (format nil "~r shillings only." shillings))
output: REPLACE-OLD-MAN-WITH-SIMPLE-LISP-FUNCTION
[3]> (replace-old-man-with-simple-lisp-function 1234567890)
output: "one billion, two hundred and thirty-four million, five hundred and sixty-seven thousand, eight hundred and ninety shillings only."

I believe GeoHot might disagree with you in that regard
Actually GeoHot quited a few days ago.

For those of you who use Emacs, you can use M-x spook when composing email
(Or you can use it with twitter)

In emacs you can use M-x rot13-region (or rot13-other-window)
Or for those of you who want to make fun of emacs:
C-SPC C-e M-x rot13-region
