One thing I don't understand about the debate on whether white space should be important is why nobody seems to like Haskell's model. Unfortunately I'm too rushed to dig up an example, but basically you can either have white space determine block structure or have curly braces and semicolons. It's certainly the way I prefer it.
There is a nifty feature you can use if you're using WebDAV to access your repositories. If you turn on auto-versioning support in your Apache config, then you can commit new revisions of files in the repository (or add files or whatever, you get the idea) just by copying them in using your favourite DAV client (Nautilus or Finder or whatever). Check out Appendix C of the Subversion Book for more.
I think Haskell had the right idea with the whole whitespace-denotes-flow thing - it used the offside rule, but if I remember right, you could throw in braces and semi-colons and have any old formatting.
ATI multi-monitor support a shocker

Even with my shiny new (-ish) Radeon 9800, I can only get around 80 fps in glxgears - because ATI's drivers don't support Xinerama, I'm stuck with the functional, but much slower, open-source drivers. The framerates AnandTech are be getting single-headed are a dream for me.
However, having read the article, ATI claim to have some Linux announcements in the pipeline - with any luck, maybe these drivers will allow me to use both my monitors with some decent 3d acceleration.
Anyway, to anyone thinking of getting an ATI card for use with multiple monitors under linux: caveat emptor.
I'd actually go so far as to say that Moz improved to the level of default browser at around 0.9.2.1
At uni, that's all I've got, apart from lynx - and I haven't found a site that doesn't work. Admittedly my browsing is limited to a google search for 'What's the standard for such and such a problem' but still, I've been impressed.
In fact, in December of 2000 I installed Moz on every work PC I could find, because I felt it was a viable alternative to IE x.y (the only difference between version I ever noticed was how well the Google toolbar integrated)
She's not trained on computers either, just not afraid.
YES! That's the key to using computers, as far as I can tell. Not being afraid to do something just to see what happens. So you accidentally format something every now and then - but it's the best way to learn.
I doubt this will catch anyone who was conversant with the Amiga gaming magazine scene circa May 1995.
For those who don't know, in this period, Amiga Action not only reviewed a (blatantly) PC version of an unreleased (at that point) Amiga game to gain an exclusive over other magazines (Subwar 2050), but reviewed a game that was never actually released for the Amiga, because it was unfinished (Pizza Tycoon). Needless to say that they reviewed many other unfinished games, along with many other mags.
Amiga Power was, AFAIK, about the only magazine that didn't review unfinished software (mostly...) or blatantly plagarise other magazines (AUI). Once they did review an unfinished game - namely, SWOS '95 - and were so severly bitchslapped by the readership the didn't do it again.
As far as I'm concerned, the moral of the story is that anything you read in a print computer games magazine is not to believed due to the competition with online mags (i.e PC Gamer (IIRC) and Ghost Recon)

Well, I for one would be happy sell him a lever for a cool 60 billion

Is there some sort of 'if things get bad, here's where to paypal us' kind of thing?

I recommend anyone who enjoyed LOTR to check out Peter Jackson's earlier works---especially 'Brain Dead' and 'Bad Taste'. High quality movies...
