Amongst other news outlets, CIO reports on a hacker attack on the German parliament (Bundestag) that occured four weeks ago and is still ongoing:
Trojans introduced to the Bundestag network are still working and are still sending data from the internal network to an unknown destination, several anonymous parliament sources told German publication Der Spiegel.[German]
All software and hardware in the German parliamentary network might need to be replaced[1]. More than four weeks after a cyberattack, the government hasn't managed to erase spyware from the system, according to a news report.
Some MPs have concerns to call experts from the foreign intelligence service, the Bundesnachrichtendienst, for help, because the agency would gain access to the legislative process, a possible violation of the principles of Separation of Powers.

As long as I have used Windows, I never did get into the habit of Control-A for "select All".... always moused it.
Gotcha...
So now when I seem to have lost that entire block of text I had just composed when the submit did not work...just open up another submit window and Control-V the text from the clipboard right back into the text box.
I'll do that next time.
As long as I have been using Windows..... I should have known that. Oh well... learn something new every day. Thanks!

If I could go back in time and irrevocably delete two inventions, they would be GUIs and the mouse. They train users to be stupid.
I can't find words to describe how frustrating it is to watch somebody else (say, during a meeting when they're "presenting") tediously mouse their way through a large wall of text when a couple keystrokes could get it done 100 times faster and with more accuracy. Sometimes when someone is scrolling up and down eyeballing for the paragraph they want I just can't stop myself from saying "Control-F... Control-F. Control-F!!!"

Ctrl-F only works if you know an exact string that appears in the paragraph.
