Which brings closure because we're obviously back to where
I started out this morning - no matter how easy a system
is to learn or use, someone has to point out very clearly
WHY you're supposed to use it and its various features.

Not my system, it's evil IDA. To be fair, man <anyothercommand>
works much better and you do get several pages of complete, useful
text - at least as good as anything in the Windows help system.
I just thought it was a nice example that there was so little
info on chmod, since the thread started out on security vs.
usability. TkMan works though.

Oh, how I love X forwarding.

Oh, how I hate that the proxy server running on my
girlfriend's computer can't handle X forwarding.

Oh, how I hate that I don't have a spare ISA network
card so I could use my old 486 as a router instead.

Oh, how I hate that I have an exam in language
technology on Saturday and that I haven't started
studying yet.
