I've been waiting long for this day!
What are these, I wonder? Something along the lines of changing the prompt to always display [litigious@bastards]$, perhaps?
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.
I am looking at the title going a Linux bash headline on slashdot, now i must have been dreaming. But I am sure that i would not post that here, knowing i would loose all my karma in one stroke.
Don't worry about it. Just let the adults keep using their computers and you can keep using your as a toy.

They should have called the movie Bourne Again.
The Bourne Again and Again and Again Shell! Again!
I have discovered a truly marvelous
**b. System-specific changes for: SCO Unix 3.2, Tandem.**
I wonder.
if sco then blowup

Will everyone stop with the Bash bashing, please?
It supports a new sequence brace expansion which should make snarfing porn easier and more efficent.
Does it get more exciting then that?

Yeah, Bash 3.0 is great and all, but when are the bash people going to upgrade rbash? Man, I can't do anything with that shell!
As part of the deal with Apple making fixes they need to get Bash to version 10 ASAP for Bash X marketing.

Pfft... I thought geeks browsed Slashdot!
Beware: In C++, your friends can see your privates!
I can't be the only one who snickers every time I see a commercial for this film. Think Geek used to have a "Bourne Again Believer" t-shirt but I think they dropped it. Maybe I am the only one.
It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
Ha ha, you dorks, use MSH like a man!
:-o
I wonder how this will get modded?

Then I looked through the POSIX spec, and sure enough I found this section, which explained things:
POSIX section 23.4.18 (SHELL):
you can get error messages and such in your native language.
This is so going to suck. If I get an error message that I'm unfamiliar with I'll plug it into google. Even if the hit is in a language I don't understand I can usually work out what a solution to my problem may be by looking at the command sequences posted in replies.
Now I'll lose that ability just because a bunch of whiners (the rest of the world) want error messages in *their* language. That's just not fair, as it doesn't benefit me.
I propose an immediate reversal of the i18n changes introduced into Bash 3.0. Who's with my jingoistic ass?
--J(K) DOS is like Unix in exactly the same way that a pinto is like an aircraft carrier.
Real geeks do browse /.
Only lusers post.
Oh, wait...damn.

I'm sure there are plenty of people here who will change it for you if you give them your IP address and root access. :)

...Bush 3.0. I was wondering why the last two incarnations of your US president were so god-awful. ;)
Cool, but just saves a process. Could do this with seq before.
seq 1 30 | xargs -i wget http://pr0nsite.com/image{}.jpg
Not that I'd try this or anything... no...
I do want to get a T-Shirt made:
Real geeks download their pr0n with one line shell-scripts.
No, bash 3.0 is not compliant with RFC 2324.
...either that or change the project name to "iBash".
hrms, that's kinda catchy, aint it?

"I was writing a command string in the bash shell, and it was, like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, and then, like, half of my grep string was gone. And I was, like ... huh? It devoured my regex pattern. It was a really good pattern. And then I had to do it again and I had to do it fast so it wasn't as good. It's kind of a bummer."
I'm sure "SlashdotMedia" will improve on all the wonders that Dice Holdings blessed us all with
err...didn't they just steal that from SCO?
Seriously? Damn. Ideologically, that's all the reason I need to upgrade!
Great.
I've been waiting to refine that command which I also never use.
Eat the rich.
I know its hard to tell, even for people famaliar with rbash; but this is what passes for humor among unix geeks.
leave 3.0 alone! >:(
Just raise the taxes on crack.
Will everyone stop with the Bash bashing, please?
So you watched the Democratic National Convention, huh?
Oh...
*bash* bashing. heh.
Life is short; think quickly.
Not another one.
