The Windows key is the only modifier key that the applications don't use. This means you can use it for global shortcuts, e.g. Win+F to launch Firefox or Win+Del to mute the volume.
On Windows systems, the closest equivalent to Win+L is Ctrl+Alt+Del Enter, but that doesn't work on Vista. The closest equivalent to Win+D is something like Ctrl+Esc (really the Windows key), Tab, Shift+F10 (really the Menu key), D, and that's not much fun to type.
I think those icons were on the toolbar a bit lower down, which depended on the view you were using. Maybe your server-side views weren't configured correctly.
My pet peeves were calling everything by a different name (e.g. Save = "Detach"), Ctrl+C not working properly in some areas, and there being no obvious was to add someone's email address to your address book.
Version 6 seemed to fix most of those problems, after which it just became a difficult to use, underfeatured mail client.:-)
As far as I can tell, there's no easy way to get somebody's public S/MIME key. With PGP, all you need to know is their email address and your mail client looks it up for you.
"Turkey's contribution to spam" suggests that either Turkish ISPs are spammer friendly or PCs in Turkey are easy to hack into and send spam from (e.g. because it's uncommon for users to run security software or apply updates).
From this you can draw conclusions like anti-virus and firewall software is too expensive for home users in Turkey, and decide how best to fix the problem.
I don't have multimedia keys, so I mapped Win+Left = previous track, Win+Right = next track, Win+Up = volume up, Win+Ins = Play/Pause, etc. I also have Win+F = Firefox, Win+T = Thunderbird, etc.
In this way, they do act as global modifiers rather than a separate key.
I don't know why people insist on explicitly using tt or pre tags in their comments.
Use the default formatting and then everyone can get the font they want by using their browser settings.
Was the technician required to inform the police? What would you have done? Would it be the same for other criminal data, or just for something detestable like kiddy porn?
Browser fonts default to 16 points. Most web page authors use this size for "medium-sized" text and say that body text is "small", which means body text usually ends up being about 12 points (CSS 1 says 10.6 points, CSS 2 says 13.3). Sizes in points are supposed to look the same height on any display (e.g. 12 points = 1/6 inch), but perhaps you have a large display and your dpi isn't set correctly.
Using a CSS size like "small" or "medium" means they will scale up or down if the user changes their default font size. My sites do that, and I'm not advocating anything different.
Some sites specify much smaller sizes, either by using "x-small" or by using absolute units such as pixels. In both cases, Firefox's minimum font size setting is very handy to work around this problem.
I think these discussions are at a tangent to the real issue. Microsoft's new fonts simply look smaller than they should.
A common technique for web designers is to use CSS "small" size for body text. The main reason for this is browser's default font size is too large. See Size Matters for the history.
If the font chosen is Arial, small is fine. If the font chosen is Calibri, small is arguably too hard to read. All the other fonts are similarly small.
Screenshot.
Your basic style sheet choices are:
Specify Calibri, Arial, medium, and accept that for users without Calibri, it will look too large
Specify Calibri, Arial, small, and accept that for users with Vista, it will look too small
Don't specify Calibri anywhere, and get predictable results!
Things would have been much easier if Microsoft had just made their new fonts look the same size as other fonts.
It's like the crew that put the DVD's together said "Ok, let's cut the bollocks, we're talking about some movie magic here. Let's not put in anything to detract from it."
Either that or there was no room left on the disc.;-)
Slashdot Mirror
It's been mentioned at least twice in this thread, and I also read something to that effect in Alan Greenspan's book.
Evidence is exactly what I was asking for.
Someone else said that Clinton paid off the national debt. Can you explain how you came up with the 60% figure?
What planet do you live on?
Hmm... NOx versus CO2.
http://www.epa.gov/air/urbanair/nox/hlth.html
NOx causes smog, acid rain, breathing problems, and may contribute to global warming.
CO2 may contribute to global warming.
It would obviously depend on the quantities, but I can understand why you'd want to limit NOxs.

I do this under Windows using AutoHotkey (tutorial) and using xbindkeys on Linux. It's very handy.

No it's not. He didn't pay for the site. It's not his.

That wasn't the case the last time the working copy format was upgraded. Are you sure?

I'm using classic, and I still see the new big buttons.

In 2006, the government passed a law making format shift legal. In particular, it would be legal to copy from a CD to an iPod.
It turns out this is only for "private, domestic use", which wouldn't apply to DJs on commercial premises.
Format shifting fact sheet
For Windows, I use AutoHotkey.
For Linux, you can use xbindkeys (all desktop environments), edit the Metacity settings via gconf (GNOME), or use the Menu Editor (KDE). I'm using the Metacity way.
I've discovered a use for the Windows key.
I don't have multimedia keys, so I mapped Win+Left = previous track, Win+Right = next track, Win+Up = volume up, Win+Ins = Play/Pause, etc. I also have Win+F = Firefox, Win+T = Thunderbird, etc.

A lot of cheap keyboards such as the Labtec standard keyboard (http://www.labtec.com/index.cfm/gear/details/EUR/EN,crid=28,contentid=631) use a non-standard layout where the Enter key is two rows high and the backslash key is in the top row, even in the US layout.
Why would anybody do that?
And don't get me started on the F-Lock key!
Bullshit. Do you think Firefox doesn't have to render stuff written in Frontpage too? Mozilla pays just as much attention to quirks mode as Microsoft.
Well that's one possibility I guess. :-)

I'm not sure if we're agreeing or disagreeing!

That sucks, but doesn't OpenOffice support recovery? Surely it left a temporary file somewhere that you can restore from?
Lessons like these remind us to save on a frequent basis! Most programs are going to crash from time to time.
