If you are using Tortoise you can access the browser by right-clicking and choosing "Repo-browser", and then highlight the file in the repository that appears, and right-click and choose "Rename".

And I find it reprehensible to use Ms. Lee's 14 year old case to draw traffic to your site. How would you feel if someone brought up something out of your past just for the sake of SEO optimization (not that it would rank very high.) She paid a debt to society and is an upstanding citizen today. No need to cast aspersions of someone's past mistakes!

With regard to touch typing and RSI, I don't profess to be an expert, however I can certainly speak for myself as someone who spends a lot of time every day typing - whenever I have attempted to use touch typing, I have quickly gotten RSI symptoms. While I three/four/five finger type, I get no such symptoms.

Obviously, that is a statiscally small sample size (1!), but if you suffer from RSI and touch type, surely its not a hard thing to try not touch typing and see if it benefits or not.

Two other points:

1. I can non-touch type at about 40 words per minute, which is way faster than I can think for either programming or writing text.

2. the "R" in RSI is for "Repetitive", and non-touch typing is pretty obviously less repetitive since it has more varied motions.

wonderful.

thanks! That's fantastic, especially the get-pairs-of-file-contents part.

thanks to Pascal J. Bourguignon and TheFlyingDutchman.

I just went into #python on freenode and got the "you are banned" message as well. Strange, as I really don't go on IRC very often and when I do, it's just as a last ditch effort to try to get an answer. I'm single dad, teacher, in my 40's and I don't think I've ever broke some nettiquette rule. Especially on IRC. Not a real lose, but strange none the less.

I know that this post is two months old now, but seeing as it is the second result on a Google search for "autohotkey f4" I figured I'd chime in.

Wrap the F4 in curly braces.

Numpad0::
IfWinActive ahk_class ATH_Note
Send !{F4} ; close window
else
Send ^w ; close window

Great.
interesting articles.
I have problem when generating a font with some features by standar encoding. The font (OT) especially the features will work as good in a software application in windows(i.e. adobe photoshop/ indesign) but other not appearance (i.e corel draw). When i installing on mac, the features absolutely nothing, even more glyph not appearance. It was happened when i generating in T1. Just now i try to create a pro-font by FL. The font as far as good when testing by FL itself. But i'm hesitate to do generating before i surely that it will work as good.
Just a little info, i'm autodidact in this field. :-)) So where i must send a question? :-)) Several my free font can be found on dafont.com.
I has been copy this article for read later. Thanks you in advance.
Best regards.
