On the other side, why is it that the cursor move keys are HJKL when the touchtyping home keys are JKL; that is something that has always give me problems, I would feel more confortable having the JKL; as cursor because thats the place where I have my fingers (I touch type pretty quickly, thats one of the reasons I like to learn Vim, because of the reduced keyboard usage).
Well, when I see the tagline "technology on your time", I'm not expecting to see postings about little crocheted socks, regardless of what you stick in them. And $USB_DEVICE in an Altoid can/matchbox car/whatever might be a decent hack the first time, but multiple followup postings hardly qualify, IMO
It's been a while since I looked at Make:blog, mainly because of what I griped about in my OP, but I just scanned the front page, and it appears things have improved. Carry on.:-D
If it's anything like the MAKE:Blog, there will be 30 profiles of people who wrapped their iPods in duct tape, another 30 who crocheted little socks for their iPods, another 30 who stuck USB thumbdrives into Altoids cans, and one who actually pulled off a cool hack.
And 40 of these profiles will be duplicated in another book called "Boingers".
I use a radio-based ISP in southern NM, and it's great. It's advertised as 256kbps, but in practice I get closer to 400kbps, and it's only $50/month.
My only complaints have been the price of the hardware (Alvarion BreezeAccess II - $1200 from the ISP, or closer to $400 on eBay), and the fact that they tend to go down whenever lighting clobbers the mountain where their antenna is.
The latency issue is what kept me away from satellite.
I live about 15 miles outside of Deming, NM - corner of No and Where. My only options were dialup, satellite, and (hallelujah) SWNM.com, a local ISP that uses Alvarion BreezeAccess II hardware to provide wireless access to a decently-sized chunk of the county.
Most of my work is with clients back east, and satellite latency would have driven me nuts. I found the Alvarion hardware for about 60% less cost than what the ISP charges for it, so I bought it and signed up - so far so good! They advertise the service as 250kbps, but I'm typically running around 400kbps, give or take. Probably a step back for someone used to cable, but I've never had cable internet, so I'm satisfied with it.

because in non-free, they could use the official logo and the trademarked name, without polluting the free-ness of the rest of the distribution.
why can't they just put the package into the non-free repository and be done with it?
Easily done by remapping the keys in your vimrc:

No actually, I think your point is valid - the current Songbird theme looks like ass.
erm... ok, perhaps you need to do more than edit that specific CSS file, but my point it that it's XUL & CSS, and you can change it.
"Give us the iTunes gray, or a glossy white theme, anything but these dark, hard-to-read interfaces."
chrome\skin\bland.css is in the Songbird install dir.
hack away!

Actually, TorC is a nice place. The wretched hive of scum and villainy is a couple hundred miles to the east.
Have they learned nothing from the Electric Twister Acid Test??
That's wicked cool - I'm a fan of the CherryPy/SQLObject/Cheetah stack myself :-)
Any plans to implement an aggregated view?

yeah... the guy at the end was tough to beat ;)

And how exactly is this a "problem"?

I was hoping it would be something like this - something I cooked up long ago for Xanga.com.

That should read Steve Balmer is the Death Star.
all that's missing now is the piece that blows their hands off at the wrist when they cross the perimeter!
