More Geeky Public Service
The .emacs preference file which ships with the Ubuntu package for Gnu Emacs really sucks. It defaults to all of the settings which no one would ever want: no syntax highlighting, no autofill in text modes, small windows, and scrolling with a mouse wheel doesn't work. The editor constantly asks if you'd like a newline to end your file, and there's no visual feedback for selected regions. It's just completely ridiculous.
Here is what I consider a tolerable bare-bones configuration, posted so that I never have to look up those functions again, and in case it helps anyone else.
