> Which means you have to first spend a lot of time learning to touch type.
Before writing a long text, do all of the lessons of ahref=http://ktouch.sourceforge.net/rel=url2html-2 9864http://ktouch.sourceforge.net/> and write the text with trying only to touch type... takes roughly two weeks to gain your old speed... taks half a year to tell everybody how worth the time is to learn touch type:)
I started with Emacs because it recommended by a friend.
However: Configuring Emacs is so damn difficult that I switched to vim... configuring is saving the stuff you usually do in command mode and therefore know anyhows.
Vim is the best editor I know for all editing but docbook (and probably other complex XML/SGML DTSs)... Emacs beats it hands down in this area. It's the only time when I sit down and try to remember the Emacs shortcuts again (which are not that hard).

Yep... or s.th. like that:
"Delete all lines which do not begin with the work 'ERROR'" (for log files): :g!/^ERROR/d
"Comment out all lines that contain the word 'debug'": :g/debug/normal I//
"Indent the whole file":
gg=G
"Sort the file and delete double entries": :%!sort|uniq
etc., etc.... and once you know how to use the help, it's really easy to find this über-stuff
Mark the inserted text and press '=' That indents the marked text... if it is normal text, it will just remove the spaces at the start. If it is C code (or some other language's), it will do correct indenting.
gg=G
will indent the whole file (especially useful for crappy formatted XML data).
I think it'll just happen that in >=2 years one of either format will be just cheap enough to convince some people to upgrade (just pay ~80$ more and you have a player not only capable of DVD but also of (Blu-Ray|HD-DVD) ). The less the price difference between plain DVD players and a high resolution+DVD player the greater the acceptance.
For the modders: This is funny, not insightful... uffffff... I think I missed/. humor -- but then again I am German and thats what everybody expects from me
Amen... too true.... although I have to admit I always had JavaScript enabled but always told everybody its a bad thing !(TM)... and I love GMail and Google Maps. Shame on me;)
I disagree. It's right that if you spend your own time on doing charity probably deserves more respect than just spending money. But I don't think that it is the worst option. Just look on the unicef homepage what you can accomplish with a few bucks per month (18$ per month will give water for 10 families in Vietnam, etc.). I wouldn't know how to accomplish s.th. like that by helping directly. Yes: Spending money is the easiest way of doing charity, but it is still very important and with little work you can help support great projects. But I admit that I am probably misinterpreting your posting;)
Firefox's NeedleSearch plugin does provide this functionality... plus you can add every other search engines (actually everything that gets posted by a form).
Nicest thing is that by typing the word
NeedleSearch
into a search field on whatever side and press the correspondend search button, you allready have the new search engine added.
Furthermore, you can add all those engines to the context menu... so if you mark a word and press the right mouse button, you can use every search engine that you added to NeedleSearch (handy for translations of single words).
Stayed in Shanghai for an internship until last October. Most annyoing thing were mail servers: Have a GMail account, which wasn't accessible most of the time. Same with Google-Groups: Sometimes they just don't work. This does not happen the whole time though: Most of the time they don't work... but sometimes they do! Same with my private mail server in Germany.
Didn't have problems with news sites though.
As well: Finding an Internet-Cafe is really, really hard.... didn't see one in Shanghai. Found one in Beijing at a railway station --> take a laptop and get DSL (it's cheap).
I love it. When you install the system with four mouse clicks, you have a perfect running system, as easy to use as Windows (USB, DVD, etc. automounted in the file manager, a screen resolution dialogue like the one in Windows, etc). After that add your Debian unstable Mirror to apt.sources, run tasksel to install all necessary geek apps and you have a perfect system. As Xandros Networks is actually only a frontend to apt-get, apt-get won't destroy any dependencies... so you can easily install gimp for free. Only problem: Updating KDE will remove the XandrosFileManager, which is the best of this disrto.
The first thing you have to do when you have installed your basic Debian system, is to start 'tasksel', which provides you with 'tasks' instead of packages. In a 'task' you will find all packages associated with that task (for example the task 'Developer' will contain all programs necessary to develope software under Linux, task 'X' will contain everything you need in order to run a X server, etc). If the program is not installed, install it with: # apt-get install tasksel
With 'tasksel' you will configure your system in about 3 minutes!
Startup is ok, rendering is fast. But when I used it at work with loads of windows/tabs for a few hours, it used too much memory (about 60 MB...). My computer didn't respond properly anymore. Under windows resources are used by IE anyway, so it is not worth to give another 60 MB to Mozilla.
Furthermore, a Google-Bar is needed. Can't work without that anymore.
I'll try the 0.9.9 though... perhaps it will not
use that much memory.

there is another binary wrist watch at
http://www.museumsmarket.de/ for about 40$. Have that watch for years. Looks much better than the photo suggests. After some time you can read the time as fast as you can read it from a normal watch.

will it be possible to create an mplayer (mfe) application that lets you play movies over the net (streaming movies from a NAS would be awesome)?

There is neither a need to use dselect nor to use aptitude - EVER. All you need are the apt-tools. If you look for a program:
...)
# apt-cache search <search term>
lists you all available packages that fit somehow the search term (search term can be the program name, parts of that name, a description
If you want more info on a package:
# apt-cache show <package name>
after that, you only need to install the usual way:
# apt-get install <package name>
I have the aliases 'i' (for 'apt-get install'), 's' (for 'apt-cache search') and 'si' (for 'apt-cache show'), which make work much easier.
