Well, Bush is pretty good at ignoring the laws of his country, lying to his people, ignoring international treaties and abolishing human rights. I don't know whether beating about the Bush will do the trick, though. > Given that hitler/nazism is probably more emotionally charged in > germany than anywhere else it would seem an especially proper > occurance of Godwin's law being fufilled when used with a german > combatant. Maybe somebody else wants to fill in the required emotionally charged parts after I have given a basic lead? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum

People who can touch-type find it very annoying to have to leave the home row for such a common task as `beginning-of-line'. -- Em?lio C. Lopes Munich, Germany
From: Harald Hanche-Olsen on 12 Apr 2006 16:02 So long as we're dreaming, I'd like to see emacs server functionality. So I can have a long running emacs on the computer in my office, and when I get home I can connect to my office emacs and keep on editing files with the entire setup, including the undo history, intact. And I won't get into trouble because I forgot to save a buffer before I left work and now I want to continue editing the same file from home. -- * Harald Hanche-Olsen <URL:http://www.math.ntnu.no/~hanche/> - It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. -- Bertrand Russell

The multi-tty branch exists and is slated for inclusion in Emacs 23.1. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum |
