"We've increased speeds 17 times in the last 17 years." My experience is that they increase the speed, and then a few months later they raise the price. Then I have to switch to a lower speed to get a price similar to what I

You should realize that there is no additional gmail account registered with no dots. Just your wife's account. And somebody simply signs up for things using your wife's address, because they feel like it should be theirs. This is

This has nothing to do with what distro you are using, except perhaps what termcap information it has. If vim detects that the terminal can support mouse input, then it will enable mouse features. If not, vim does not get control over mouse
