Regardless, I've never learned to touch-type properly (pinky goes unused quite a lot), but I find myself able to use vim really quite quickly anyway. I've been using it full-time for about 8 or 9 months, and it's hard to imagine using anything else now.
Their site is based on tiddlywiki, which does rely on Javascript for its basic functionality - it's a wiki that can be carried around on a USB stick, say, and is totally self-contained. I don't think even the authors consider it the best solution for an actual public website, though I have found it useful as a personal tool.

Sometimes it's nice to capture the output straight into a buffer, which vim can do.
My point is that the letter is extremely KDE-centric. I suppose it's understandable and kind of fair given that it's coming from someone involved with the KDE/KOffice project, but a little more neutrality would sit better with me.
I had that for quite a few versions beforehand, and I know at least part of why it happens.
When you run a program from the Start Menu, quicklaunch bar, desktop and what have you, the Firefox process becomes a child process of the main Explorer instance.
Sometimes, Firefox "detaches" itself, and this causes the taskbar button weirdness in any process that does this. It usually happens when the Explorer instance controlling the taskbar crashes, in which case all its child processes suddenly have no parent, but Firefox sometimes just does this all by itself for no readily apparent reason.
Automatic updates tend to be staggered these days. I've no idea why but they seem to need a bit of extra time to work out problems when auto-updating. It'll probably be along in a couple of days.
I think the point is moot for most people here though. You can just download the installer and install over the top of existing versions - the installer's finally been fixed to remove duplicate entries in Add/Remove Programs under Windows.

No, it was on the OSR2 CD, at least the ones that Time Computers were distributing with new PCs.
There's something extremely unpleasant about the idea of manipulating natural phenomena for the purposes of advertising.
I'm still waiting impatiently for my first chance to see and photograph the aurora borealis, and I definitely don't want to be taking pictures of corporate crap.

What exactly is a half-and-halfer?

It's good to see this, but it sounds like KDE trying to save only their own face. Ah well.

The big deal is less the fact that you can clean it out anyway, but more that the problem won't be there in future. :)
