Do you really believe this? The following citation is from 'science'
fortune file, which is NOT in fortune-offensive:
Thus mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know
what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true.
-- Bertrand Russell
My speciality is mathematics and I find this citation extremely
offensive.
One more example ("definitions" file now):
Basic Definitions of Science:
If it's green or wiggles, it's biology.
If it stinks, it's chemistry.
If it doesn't work, it's physics.
Very offensive, isn't it?

It tries to execute command rm[space]/home/shao/report/main.log. Of course
there is no such command. You should execute 'rm' with filename as a parameter;

X11R6, where Xkb extension was introduced? Well, with Xkb you use keysyms such as Cyrillic_de or Cyrillic_zhe. With xmodmap (as a rule!) you use keysyms such as Ediaresis & Co. And it's not _russian_ characters. It's hack. You give the koi8-r font to the application and it looks for you as a russian letters. But *they do not*. > And due to backward compatibility xmodmap and friends work just > fine with X11R6... > >The Right Thing - to use Xkb & locale. > > Locales are irrelevant to Xkb. I'm using locales with xrus... Well, but - if you use Xkb - the right tuned locale can help some application (E.g. Netscape) handle all that Cyrillic_*. W/o russian locale and with Xkb you cannot enter russian letters in Netscape. > FYI, RH 5(.1) glibc come with russian koi8 locale which is called ru_SU. Well, why ru_RU.koi8r isn't right? *ru*ssian language in *RU*ssia with koi8r charset. But there is not such thing as a "Soviet Union".
