  1. Tilde on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Surprisingly useful is ~ in command mode. It will change the case of your text. Throw a number in front and that many characters will have their case changed.

  2. Re:Even worse... on Password Resets Worse Than Reusing Old password · · Score: 1

    For those who feel the benefits of a security question are suspect at best, just use the name of the institution requiring it. Always use upper or lower case and it is not difficult to remember.

  3. Re:How many? on Do Not Call Listings to Expire in 2008 · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly the system doesn't even (appear) to confirm that the phone number is yours. Some industrious fellow could just do all Americans a favor and purchase a phone list of those active numbers not registered and write a script to register the numbers.

  4. Re:Free Market versus Black Market: Nanny State on Dissecting U.S. Violent Game Bills · · Score: 1
    And the slope slickens (like that word? I think I invented it).

    Sorry, I already have the IP, copyright, trademark, etc...

  5. Re:Common problem.. on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: 1

    What annoys me the most is when copying/pasteing URL's. I'll highlight&copy a url somewhere then I go and paste it into firefox. Out of habbit I'll go and highlight the current URL and control+v what I assume I'm pasteing... and end up with the same URL that I started with.

  6. Re:While they're at it... on Blockbuster Chief: End DVD Region Codes · · Score: 1

    Just use your search button (vs. the skip). At the fastest search pace, you will be through it in seconds.

  7. Re:Wow. on RIAA Settles With 12-Year-Old Downloader · · Score: 1

    Not totally true. Even though you aren't buying RIAA CDs directly, you are "encouraging" other consumers to purchase RIAA CDs. These consumers know that they can always dump their CDs at the used CD stores. If you don't purchase used RIAA CDs, the used CD stores (and other outlets) would begin to aquire a surplus of these CDs and quit purchasing said CDs. Ultimately, the only way to kill the sale of RIAA associated CDs is to quite buying them regardless of the source.
