ER last night: THBPT

Did anyone see ER last night?

FOr those who didn't see it, there was a collision between two
cyclists- one was a kid who looked kind of like Tinker Juarez, the
other a roadie. So they portrayed the roadie as : a total arrogant
jerk, not at all concerned about the kid, only concerned about his
bike; bragging about his mileage (200 a week) and mentioned that his
bike (a Serrotta legend) was worth 6000 bucks. He even trie to klonk
the other kid with his helmet. THe doctor then asks "You spent six
grand ON A BIKE?"

It was just so annoying. Thanks ER for that lovely bit of bad
publicity!

Like doctors don't spend 10 grand ON A CAR??? grrrrr....

More like 40 grand ON A CAR!!!

My bike is worth more than my car, but that isn't saying much. I drive
a 1984 Corolla SR5 and ride a 2002 LeMond Tourmalet.

In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because
I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I
didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the
Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came
for me -- and by that time no one was left to speak up.

Heh. I desperately need a new one, but I'm holding out until I can
find one with no "Windows" keys.

After all, if it wasn't for them, who would buy Dura-Ace?

hey dane, i spend 50+ hours a week at the keyboard and i'm a snooty bsd/unix
user. i give this keyboard my highest recommendation:

http://shop.store.yahoo.com/pfuca-st...ackeylit1.html

the name is a definite bonus. the price is a bit much for a keyboard but
it has the best action since the old IBM PC keyboards plus it's small
(the keys are normal size, the keyboard itself is small). i've got 3 of
them (1 at work, 2 at home -- i've found my carpal tunnel is helped by
having the same keyboard everywhere).

plus the control key is in the right place, damnit. & no windows key.

You don't need any company's software to program your keys the way you
want with linux/X. Look at ~/.Xmodmap, and define actions for all those
fancy keys there, using xev to see which key sends what symbol.
