'R' replaces the whole line, so that won't do. I commented the script as you suggested and it works. Thank you!

I tried this plugin a few days ago, but it seemed to break the s (substitute) command, so I removed it. Does someone know how to make it work? The problem is the following: Write a line of text, select part of it using v, then press s to re

Isn't that what the article says? There's no further information on how the program has accomplished this feat, but the list of CAPTCHA's it now understands and can bypass is reportedly fully up-to-date, and includes newer designs that ask

Also, doesn't Safari on iPhone cache images? For those with a bandwidth cap, downloading all the images on every page could be quite heavy. Not sure if this is a great idea if navigation involves multiple image-rich pages. Any idea?

I don't think there's much net activity in North Korea, to be honest. You might be thinking of China? In any way filters are usually working at the ISP level, not on client machines. See http://www.boingboing.net/2008/05/22/cisco-internal

APC is very nice because you can really plug it in and expect to get performance improvements without any “real work.” That said, it really depends on your architecture and the traffic/usage patterns you expect. Do you get more reads? more
