My setup for web development is a desktop running linux and kde, and a laptop running windows.
With x2vnc it's really easy to use the desktop keyboard and mouse between the desktop and the laptop, making it really easy to have lots of terminal windows open while testing on IE the final results.

Windows Air
The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning
whatsoever.
Windows NT Air
Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes.
UNIX Airways
Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of
plane they are supposed to be building.
Air DOS
Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push again, jump on again, and so on...
Mac Airlines
All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don't
need to know, don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so just shut up.
Linux Air
Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to
cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the
seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plan leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to
tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do WHAT with the seat?"

This is already a valid perl 5.6 program.
Check 'Programming Perl' 3rd Edition, Chapter 15, where a japanese character is used as a variable (you have to 'use utf8;' though.
Shinco has a portable VCD Player with a small TFT display able to play MP3 cds. I bought one in September so this guys are way ahead of the story in the register.

Nowadays should be a lot easier to switch ISP's than to switch away from Google..
*freaking* Power Supplies!!
It's amazing how many recently built terminals lack power supplies near the gates.
You can always calculate it yourself:
You have the dots (pixels) for the horizontal
and vertical, and the diagonal in inches, so:
If a^2+b^2 = c^2
then:
sqrt(x^2 + y^2 ) / inches equals the DPI for that resolution and size.
In your case:
sqrt(1280^2 + 1024^2 ) / 17
aprox. 96 DPI.
Hope this helps!

I suppose JonKatz refers to the demonstrations in Genoa, not Milan.
