For natural keyboards (like mine; the ones that curve with a gap in the centre) it's easier to do thumb->alt, middle finger->ctrl, & pinky->del, FWIW (nothing).
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you: Lots of Windows experience but a complete newbie to Linux (about a month).
I agree with you completely about the manuals. The vendor manual tells you how to install the distribution and that's it. For anything else (tv-out, wheel-mice, multimedia keyboards) you're on your own. Well, you and google.
The cannonical wheel-mouse solution I found through googling, and I now have 7 mouse buttons recognised in X. Unfortunately, I can't bind buttons 6 & 7 under this version of iMwheel and few applications recognise them (quake3 does). So no backwards and forwards in Firebird for me. Anyway, see this thread.
I agree in part. The only thing I would miss if flash died would be some webcomics, but I'm sure their authors would just use gifs or pngs. At the moment this simple mozilla extension is the bane of flash advertising.
Lethem came and spoke to my ENG13x class (about Amnesia Moon, mostly, as it was on the course reading list) around the time he was promoting Motherless Brooklyn. He seemed like a real interesting guy but I haven't read any of his other books as of yet. I've been reading fantasy instead (WoT and just beginning Song of Ice and Fire)....
Neither of their (Gibson and Stephenson) latest works have been strictly sci-fi. Pattern Recognition has no technology other than what you or I use during the course of our day. There's not even a 'nodal point', the world is still the same at the end of the book.
Cryptonomicon is likewise a great story, but sci-fi? Really? It's technical, it's brilliant, but it doesn't really strike me as 'sci-fi'.
Britney is a personal role model of mine (and many other geeks too, I'm sure). Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go spelunking for publicity in some old hags mouth.
Here being a craggy part of the English countryside. I don't think it's worth BT's or some cable company's time and money to enable rural areas. Whoever offers Wi-Fi or home user satellite first should have a sizeable demand for their service, though.
I understand Lindows better than OpenLindows. The WalMart bargin basement box has an interface that the average computer user (the much maligned Joe Sixpack) is familiar with. To them Windows == Computers (yes, I know this is a Bad Thing).
OpenLindows, however, seems to require as much effort as installing any other Linux distribution.

Ah, good ol' google, the Van Eck phreaking incident.
Well, in this case a weak ending is a given since it's part of a series (uh, cycle).
Sex scenes plural? I can only remember the America Shaftoe one...

UM...thanks.
Is there going to be 'by date' sort anytime soon for Konqueror? There might even be one already for all I know....
I'll give it a blast, thanks :)

What do you think powers my flying car?
I'm a goatsex/goatsex man myself.
(Yes, Virginia, that's a login not a troll.)
Yes, one page of whitespace @ 1280x1024. Great design.
What's the title?

Oh, hi mom!
Isn't this an issue that's best tackled by your student union? Providing, of course, that it's university housing....
*obmo!*
Surely...

BAH!
Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen!
Anyone know if SuSE have any RPMs for i386? I found some for x86-64 but didn't notice any for my Barton :<

So what niche does it cater for, exactly?
I'm a Linux newbie but I came across this project the other day which does exactly that:
