I saw this in Rolling Stone from Angus Young of AC/DC:

It’s amazing we’ve come up with so many terms for ‘naughty bits’ when there are only two or three naughty bits in the first place.

Digging through Word’s help facility, I found this entry on password protecting a document (in Word 2000 Help, go to the Index, put ‘password-protection’ in the keywords, and click ‘About using passwords’ to see for yourself) :

When you create a password, write it down and keep it in a secure place. If you lose the password, you cannot open or gain access to the password-protected document.

And you wonder why virii run rampant and security is a joke with MS products. The Average Joe Computer User does this type of stuff anyways. Should this behavior really be encouraged? If Micro$oft is putting rubbish like this in their products, what does that tell you about their stance on security?

I finally found a good tip on how to make the search highlighting that is turned on by default “work” better:

I’ve found that I love the highlighting, until I decide to move the cursor and begin editing…So, I just added these to .vimrc:

:map j <Down>:nohlsearch<CR>
:map k <Up>:nohlsearch<CR>
:map h <Left>:nohlsearch<CR>
:map l <Right>:nohlsearch<CR>


This, of course, assumes you use the vi cursor keys h,j,k,l…you could also remap the arrow keys if you are into using things so far away from the normal typing position.

The original post from the Vim site is here. I’ve been using this tip for the past few days and it rocks.
