It's not really that difficult. Look at the choices, figure how who is effected, of those effected, which choice causes the least harm either physically or mentally. I suspect you're trying to articulate something else and not doing it clearly. If you'd like to try again, I'll respond.
I've had an GC account for a year or more. I've set it up to ring my cell phone. I give the GrandCentral number out to new people, and gradually tell people that have the old number to start using the new number. I'm probably up to about 90% of everyone using the new number. It is not really that much of a hassle. The fact that both numbers (cell and GC) ring the same phone makes the number transition less painful that it could be.
I agree with you as well. (OMG - a slashdot first?!?!?!) The faithful can always wriggle out of evidence. This doesn't mean that science-oriented people should stop asking questions about God.
For those who must say that God does not exist, try this: your position is just as unprovable as theirs,...
Depends on the position. While the existence of God may be ultimately unknowable, there are versions that are more and less unknowable. Science can have a lot to say about the existence of the "personal" God, the God that answers prayers. For if such a God existed, we could easily do a double blind experiment testing the hypotheses that prayers are answered. Have a bunch of people pray for six months that patients in a hospital won't die, or at least will recover more quickly. If the "personal" God exists, then we should see a statistically significant difference between the the six months of prayer and the preceding six months. Or come up with some other experiment. The point is that if God effects the world physically, leaves evidence, then science can most definitely ask questions about the existence of God, just like like any other natural phenomenon. Therefore the larger point you make is not true - atheists (using science) can disprove (or at least show evidenced-based doubt) on the existence of some constructs of God. To say that the position is "unprovable" is incorrect.
You get the entire desktop and it lives until you reboot the machine. I can have a desktop on a server at work and access it from my desk, at home, at a friend's house, on my iPhone on the bus, etc. It is always there, just like I left it. ssh -X only lasts as long as the ssh connection between the two machines. If I'm not at the machine that's running the ssh -X, it does me no good. If I run it inside VNC, I can get to it from anywhere. NX is too intrusive and complex; vncserver and vncclient run on everything, are simple, and are rock solid.
I use tail -F, which is the same as tail -f, but works on non-existent files. Useful when tailing log files from programs that start a new log file every time it runs. Using tail -F in this case, you can just leave tail running while you start and restart the program overwriting the log file.
I keep a VNC server desktop on running on machines. Tunneling the VNC client through a gateway machine via ssh means I can connect to any desktop on any machine from anywhere.
Et voila - a remote desktop on machine 1 from machine 2 via a gateway machine. Note you have to add the desktop number given to vncserver (in this case 1) to 5900 in the ssh command, this is because vncviewer start counting ports at 5900.
To find a string in a file I used to do "find . | xargs grep foo". A cow orker saw me doing that and told me about grep -R, recursive grep. So the same statement would be "grep -R foo."
With VDC, no more. You build all of that into the datacenter "OS", and when a new application comes along they are put into the VDC OS and they inherit everything, not just HA but BC, DR and all of the ease of use. If they don't want BC or DR, they don't pay into that bucket
Yeah, but what about TR, WD, RF, and GH? Not to mention NR, SS, and BD? How could they leave thouse out - I mean WTF?
You should both checkout www.electoral-vote.com. He keeps track of this stuff, so you don't have to. According to that site, Obama's currently got a comfortable lead. Of course the site also says that exactly 4 years ago, Kerry had an equally comfortable lead. I don't think any candidate has a lock on this thing. It's way too early to tell. So both a y'all quit with your gums a flappin'.

I may be able to think up a less interesting topic, but I'm not gonna bother. One. Big. Meh.

It's not difficult. That which does the least harm is the good choice. No need to believe in anything to see that. Is that answer good enough for you?
Wow. You must have a really small desk.

Why use VNC when you can use ssh -X or NX?

tail and head - tail -f is a lifesaver

BTW: How does one ork a cow?
Very, VERY, carefully.
No one. But you don't need it when fingering on the local machine. Thus my comment.
Because then you wouldn't be using perl. :) heh. In this case sed is better, you're correct.
I keep a VNC server desktop on running on machines. Tunneling the VNC client through a gateway machine via ssh means I can connect to any desktop on any machine from anywhere.
machine 1: :1
> vncserver
machine 2: :1
> ssh myuid@gateway -L5901:machine1:5901
> vncviewer
Et voila - a remote desktop on machine 1 from machine 2 via a gateway machine. Note you have to add the desktop number given to vncserver (in this case 1) to 5900 in the ssh command, this is because vncviewer start counting ports at 5900.
Nice! I always used pushd and popd for this. Fewer keystrokes is better, thanks.
finger is good for seeing who is logged into a machine. A plain "finger" shows everyone who is logged in. Useful on multiuser machines.
find . -exec grep -l keyword {} \;
In fewer keystrokes:
grep -R keyword .
Search and replace inplace in files, using perl:
perl -pi -e "s/searchme/replaceme/g" *
In all .cpp anh .h files:
perl -pi -e "s/searchme/replaceme/g" `find . -name \*.cpp -o -name \*.h`
Or if you're a bash person:
perl -pi -e "s/searchme/replaceme/g" $(find . -name \*.cpp -o -name \*.h)
To find a string in a file I used to do "find . | xargs grep foo". A cow orker saw me doing that and told me about grep -R, recursive grep. So the same statement would be "grep -R foo ."
Oops. My mistake. I didn't correctly see who you were responding to. My bad.
He's promoting an agenda? I think you're showing your own bias.

After all, how many candidates from losing presidential tickets - presidential or veep - have been endorsed for office by their parties afterwards?
Err... The name Richard Milhouse Nixon ring any bells?
You may have passed biology, but I bet you failed English...
I think teaching the controversy is such a good idea I support it on my tshirt: teach the controversy.
