   Sadly, the world of academia has scared people into thinking goto is the spawn of Satan. It really does have its place.

   As a game developer, I'd expect the SU stuff to require considerable cleanup in Maya or Max. That said, I can see its use in concept and design.

   Uhhh my point was that "The Valley" != "SoCal". Not that it isn't part of SoCal. It's obvious if you read my post properly. Thanks for trying anyway.

    FYI this isn't a "feature of gmail". It's a feature of many, if not most mail systems (sendmail, postfix, qmail, etc.) and was around for many years before Google even existed.

    The Valley is not SoCal. We have several spaces in SD.

    Umm, whatev. Allowing the market to set prices is a core tenet of capitalism. This Canadian ISP thing is certainly not "very much capitalist". Not in any way. I'm not looking for a flamegasm here, so this is my final reply to this thread. P

    There is also value in not being a complete asshole about it. Especially when you're right.

    That still doesn't sound like a free market to me. Very much capitalist?

    Movements, like you describe, are left up to the application you're interacting with. This is not a job for a terminal! The terminal just needs to communicate the keys pressed.

    You seem to assume we only use our terminal to interact with a shell.

    I NEVER use soap to wash my hands. I almost never get sick. I think it's down to technique. a) use the hottest water you can stand. With practice you can get it pretty hot. b) scrub your hands together completely, vigorously, and for a good
