4/16    Is X-windows (enlightenment) moderately deficient in key-bored
        short-cuts or am I moderately deficient in knowledge?  If the
        latter, someone please direct me to a resource.
        \_ since when did x-windows and enlightenment become synonymous
        \_ since when did x-Files and millenium become synonymous
           with each other?
           \_ since redhat became synonymous with linux
              \_ Doh, this is a relatively innocent claim considering
                 that there are some companies that claim that they
                 are the "dot" in "dot com" and there are people
                 who actually believe them.
                    by looking at all the top dots
                 \_ there is only one that claims that. Justify
                    by looking at all the top dots. Justify by looking
                    at competitors. Then again, it's not a big part
                    of their business, but it's a good marketing catch-phrase.
        \_ try looking at the enlightenment configurer thingie.  You can
              \_ When you're most of the market it isn't a hard
           is a file somewhere in .enlighenment that you can hack if you
                 claim to make.  As if anyone important has heard of
                 your KewlWarez linux distribution.  Anyone smart
                 isn't using linux anyway.
        \_ try looking at the millenium configurer thingie.  You can
                 the Mac one (though much less nice looking). Isn't it
           define your own shortcuts to do just about anything.  Or there
           is a file somewhere in .millenium that you can hack if you
           enjoy that sorta thing. -darin
           \_ A GUI like windows? i find it amusing that the linux crowd
              so badly wants to be like the OS they so despise.
              \_ Not even. Besides, Microsoft created a GUI like
                 the Mac one (though much sh*tier looking). Isn't it
                 amusing that the Windows crowd so badly wants to
                 be like the OS they so despise?
                 \_ You're about 15 years out of date and anyway, the
                    Mac wasn't the first anything.
                    \_ Well, I don't think the Mac people hide the fact
                       that they ripped of Xerox Parc.  I don't think
                       Xerox Parc cared either.  They invented almost
                       everything significant today but never bothered
                       to do anything about.
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented windows?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented the mouse?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented ethernet?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented streaming video?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented VisiCalc?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented WordStar?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented Lotus 1-2-3?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented Java?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented Netscape Navigator?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented Ingres?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented the Operating System?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented Virtual Memory?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented the BASIC language?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented the Atari 2600?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented the Palm Pilot?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented Sendmail?
                    \_ I thought Microsoft invented UNIX?
                       \_ Microsoft did. You just do not realize it, yet.
                       \_ Microsoft will claim they did. All the above stuff
                          got invented(mostly)  at Cal, Stanfurd, MIT,Xerox
                          Parc, Bell Labs and the Bay Area, and has been
                          stolen and exploited by Bill Gates.

3/25    It's strange that only every other Windows version is a hit.

2/19    I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster.  So I'm used to using
        Xemacs to code.  This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
        but sometimes I have to use a Mac.  On Mac, the meta is usually
        bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
        This makes using emacs a real pain.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?

3/15    Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like
        the following?
        - Windows 8
        - Windows Server "8"
        \_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
           and went over?  Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*

12/21   In Emacs, how do I make it so that it will resize its screen
        when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
        use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it
        because the bottom-right corner is not accessible).
        \_ Which OS?  Can't you drag the top border (not a corner) to resize
           the height to be smaller?

11/27   CalMail has been down for a few days (hardware failure and database
        corruption -- sounds like fun!) and is starting to come back online.
        Looks like they're planning to outsource all campus mail to either
        Google Apps or Microsoft 365 as part of Operational Excellence.
