Subtleties of search-and-replace in Emacs - I Still Know What You Learned Last Summer
Subtleties of search-and-replace in Emacs - I Still Know What You Learned Last Summer : a great summary of all that is good in Emacs search ( and replace). Now all I have to do is remember the key strokes!!
It definitely helps if you can "live" in emacs. Hmm, I just need an RTC emacs client !!

Kill the cull, not Wales's badgers
Kill the cull, not Wales's badgers | Brian May | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk: "Kill the cull, not Wales's badgers"
Just saw Brian May talking on the Channel 4 news after the proposed cull was stopped.
I don't know what the facts of the case are, but Brian May came over as a very reasonable, articulate and patient person. He refuted many assertions by the interviewer (e.g. "the cull is the only way to stop bovine tuberculosis", "no, it could make matters worse, inoculation is the only way to stop it"), and as the interviewer did not demure he was either not sure of his facts or Brian May was correct.
I was impressed at how polite Brian remained as he had to repeat his facts several times.
10 out of 10 for what appeared to be a fact-based interview - they seem to be a rarity these days.
