4/22    Is there a trick that will tell links (the webbrowser) to let me
        highlight/copy text from its window?  It clears the screen when I
        suspend or quit, so that won't work either.
        \_ Hold down shift.
        \_ try some combination of alt+click, like ctrl+alt+click, or
           shift+alt+click, depending on your terminal. WFM.
           \_ solves the problem for me on konsole; thanks much.
        \_ I'd like to know this too.
        \_ not exactly sure what you are asking
           \_ Open up links, search for your favorite quote, song lyrics, or
              poem.  Try to highlight the text in the window to copy paste
              into another file or email or whatever-- unless you're in
              Cygwin it won't work. The best I've come up with is
                F9, Save As foo, Quit, then lynx -dump foo
        \_ This actually depends on the xterm [or whatever terminal emulator or
           terminal] you're using. I just try to use xterms that keep the X
           "selection" (or whatever it's called) until you actually highlight
           something else (even if the selection is not visible any more).

10/1    I am thinking of installing firefox on soda under my home directory.
        Will this make me a hozer?
        \_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
           I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
           anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
           but our login server is not.

7/4     Is there a web browser available on soda?  My employer has a firewall

4/6     I got a url that looks like
        http://www.whatever.com/祢.mp3
        How should I encode this link so that every browser (including lynx)
        can understand it?
        \_ If your file really is named 祢, you should encode it as

1/3     Regarding the WMF vulnerability, is it true that if you're using
        Firefox 1.5, you'll always be prompted when there's a WMF image on a
        web page?  I know those using IE are SOL unless they install the 0-day
        patch from Ilfak Guilfanov mentioned here:

        This part is funny:
