You can (re)define keyboard shortcuts for any menu item in any GTK application. Just select (don't click) the menu item, and press the shortcut you'd like.
I don't think you can set system-wide defaults for an option, though.
Note that this weekend the Debian developers are holding a bug squashing party on #debian-bugs on OpenProjects. Expect the number to be a bit lower tomorrow:)
Any registration key scheme can be cracked. Shareware people have know this for decades. They can make it difficult to crack (and a couple of hours to generate a few keys is quite good), but they can't make it impossible.
The best way is to verify the key on-line if the key is assigned to you, but this is only feasible with small-scale shareware programs, because in that case very few of the possible keys are assigned (so the chance of generating an assigned key by accident is very low), and the author of the program knows of every sold copy (while Microsoft doesn't know of a particular copy of XP is actually installed somewhere, or is lying in some warehouse)
The problem is, we need a completely new email system with authentication, and we need mail clients that handle both it and the current standard seamlessly...
Not really... All you have to do is modify your mailserver to reject any message that does not include a valid PGP signature. And any descent mail client already supports it.
How would you decide how difficult the problem should be? Believe it or not, but there are people using email on XT's. Or take Arache, a graphical browser+email+... that works fine on a 386. Those people would in effect unable to send email.

I've heard that's the international symbol for currency. It means you're using the ISO-8859-1 charset instead of ISO-8859-15.
isn't one of the big "selling points" about Linux the fact that there aren't branches and forks everywhere? The appearance of one may prompt the appearance of others.
There are others. Lots of others. Always have been. Those branches are essential to the development of Linux,
as Linus explains. It is important to note that all those branches are compatible: their implementation is different, but they all look the same from userland.
I think the terminology here should be used very carefully; these are patches to the official 2.4 kernel. Not kernel branches.
The terminology is used very carefully. Patches and branches are two quite different things.
I've read the list of differences in the FAQ. It's just a big list of extensions to the Bourne shell. It doesn't list any incompatibilities (except for a couple of obscure missing features which you probably shouldn't use anyway). If you write something in standard Bourne syntax, there should be no problems with Bash.
If you, on the other hand, test it with Bash, and then assume it will run under any other Unix... Well, you shouldn't do that with GNU software:)
I wasn't paying attention, but I don't remember agreeing to an end-user-license-agreement last time I installed linux.
You're half right. You don't need to accept any kind of licence to use or modify Linux or any other GPL'ed software.
However, if you want to distribute (copy) GPL'ed software, there are two possibilities:
You don't accept the GPL. In this case, standard copyright law applies, and you're not allowed to distribute the code without special permission from the owner of the software.
You accept the GPL, and you are required to follow its terms.
So you can't copy GPL'ed software without following the terms of the GPL or getting special permission.
I sure as hell don't see it under Word2000's Save As;)
But you can get an 'Print to PDF' thingie. You just have to install the Windows version of GhostScript, and some little program they offer on the same site allows you to install it as a printer driver. (it's been a while since used Windows, so I don't remember the details:)
I tried to get it running a year ago, but all the emulators I could find were under development and unavailable. A new search today revealed an
interesting site about PDP-10 emulation with instructions for TOPS-10, TOPS-20 and, yes,
ITS. I'm going to have fun this week.

See Scientologists Force Comment Off Slashdot. This comment, also containing the OT III, was removed. I wonder if they'll notice it this time, now it isn't posted in a Co$-related story.
they offer 1242 games, all of them with legal permission.
Of course you'll need the Amiga ROM and OS, which aren't available for free.

Of course, the O'Reilly book talks about "a DFA engine". What they're saying is that a NFA engine is easier to hack ;)

Just to be clear, OpenSSH 3.0.2 is included in Woody (and has been for some time).

Don't worry, the coins are of different size. The Bundesbank just has a stupid webmonkey.
The canonical way to type an euro symbol is AltGr+E. Here's the official stuff.

Perhaps you could define L? ;)
I heard a couple of times Doom was developed on NeXT boxen. Another source claimed only the level design utility ran on NeXT. Is any of this true?

Actually, Doom was two floppies and 5 megs installed (the registered version was about 13mb). Kind of scary I remember this stuff.
The Gameboy was even worse. It has a 1MHz processor and 8k RAM (with up to 32k extra on the cartridge)

Err... GhostScript will happily write PDF's. Try, for example, the ps2pdf command.
Isn't this supposed to be the last Linus kernel in the 2.4 series?

Check out ITS. The source code is available here, and you can grab the documentation over here.
