  1. Why I Switched to OpenSSH by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    OpenSSH gives me the flexibilty and versatility that I demand in mobile computing. As a professional freelance writer, I rely on OpenSSH to customize itself to the way I work to get my job done.

    Before I was using F-Secure SSH, and I always had problems with technical things my poor brain can't comprehend. Now I just tar zxvf openssh.tgz; ./configure; make; sudo make install and generate my public and private keys. It's so easy! OpenSSH gives me more power for less dough -- Girl Scout's honor!

    OpenSSH. It's about more and better.

    easy, you check the md5 of the md5.

    your wish is granted. say you got the first half of pr0n.tar.bz2:

    $ ssh remotehost -c "tail --bytes=\`ls -l | awk '/pr0n.tar.bz2/ { print $5; }' - `ls -l | awk '/pr0n.tar.bz2/ { print $5; }'` | bc\`" > pr0n.tar.bz2

    now, you're smart enough to turn this into a shell script, right? there's a reason openbsd doesn't ship with a "watch" script.

    note that there is probably an error in that commandline since i never tested it. go ahead, post it.
