Context Search is the main one I'll miss. I was able to replace all my other plugins so, e.g. Saka Key replaces VimFX and Cookie Autodelete replaces Self-destructing cookies.
Currently, they seem to be the best option If you want to avoid supporting google. Personally, I'm sticking with my N900. I wouldn't mind something newer but don't see a need to spend a lot of money when my N900 still works fine.
It does. If it's in use at the same time as the hacker connects with the MAC spoofed, you have two machines on the network with the same MAC. That causes enough problems that the victim will notice something is going on.
What's so totally stupid is that the open source world has to put up with NIH. There's a number of these big software groupings: KDE, Gnome, FSF, Apache, Eclipse and they're all fairly guilty of it. Apache should stick with producing a web server. I really can't see why they didn't decline the Oracle offer of Open Office.
Urgh. The "official" Brother Linux drivers are crap. You get a 32-bit x86 only binary. The visible parts of it such as the shell scripts are really badly written (and break if/bin/sh is dash and not bash). The.deb files are created by alien. They install files in strange locations such as/usr/local. I could never get it working with cups and ended up using lprng and manually configuring it. Then it really doesn't work well. For example, it always adds a huge margin to the top of every page so I have to adjust the margins to be 0 at the top if I actually want something to print how it is meant to be. And they don't maintain it at all. The driver I downloaded when I got the printer is still the latest.
Under my contract, my employer has to pay me for on call but what they do is have me on call for just 1 hour. If I need to come in, I'm expected to stay till the problem is fixed. It's especially annoying over Christmas because I'm stuck in the local area and can't visit family yet get paid virtually nothing.
I've got an Thecus N2100 and the performance as a NAS isn't great. The CPU isn't powerful enough to take advantage of the gigE interface. For what you want, I'd get something more powerful which probably means an x86 box. For anyone who just wants a home server that doesn't consume too much electricity so can be left on all the time, a small ARM based box is great. I'm running Debian on it and it's really useful.
/dev/zero would be just as good. Trouble with doing that is that you then need to reformat the memory card. For some reason, I find reformatting memory sticks/cards tends to result in very slightly lower capacity than they started with.
I'd say that, more than justice, the purpose of prison is to protect society from future crime. If a murderer goes unpunished it would be an unfair result that would bother people slightly. Far more bothering, however is when that murderer goes on to commit more crime or when the lack of an effective justice system encourages other potential murderers.
I processed thousands of accident reports and claims. And not once in all of that did I see an accident that could have been prevented by "evasive high speed".
Once happened to me that I was overtaking a lorry and the lorrydriver decided to pull out into the overtaking lane: presumably I was in his blind spot. I just hit the accelerator and squeezed past. Didn't need to shift down a geer. Perhaps braking out of the problem would also have worked. Using the horn might also have done the trick but it was an unfamiliar car and I very rarely use the horn so I doubt I can have used it in time. However, had I decided to hit the accelarator during the split second I had to make the decision and some goverment GPS system decided to deny me the extra speed, I would have been squashed between the lorry and the central reservation.
An automatic system should be able to find a balance that prevents someone driving consistently over the limit while not taking over the controls from the driver.
I've never known it to actually work and not leave me with an unusable installation. (I have to use SuSE at work). Debian upgrades on the under hand do work.
If it is yast you like, consider looking at http://yast4debian.alioth.debian.org/. Will let you use yast on Debian without sacrificing yourself to the complete reinstalls that installing (and upgrading) SuSE entails.
A far better way to split Microsoft would be to give both company's the full product range. Then you'd have real competition. Would never happen though.
Not sure I'd want Office for Linux anyway. Without it, OpenOffice has a better chance of gaining market share and VMware does the job for anyone that needs real office.
I agree with you here. I'm sure Microsoft prefers people in developing countries to run pirated windows than Linux.
I would have thought a far greater threat to Apple could come from people running Windows on their Macs. A few hackers running Mac OS X on their Athlons does them little harm.
Of course, for all we know they may be planning to use IA64 instead of x86.
It's not quite the same. With HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS, you'll never get duplicates in your history list ever. However, if you care about the order of commands in your history list then this can be annoying. This can be the case if you use csh bang history, fc to rerun a range of commands or, my favourite, the accept-line-and-down-history editor command (usually bound to Ctrl-O) which runs the command and then brings up the following command from the history.
With the set of three options duplicates do go into the history list but they are removed first (before unique commands), some search functions won't find the duplicates and duplicates won't be saved between zsh sessions. That removes some of the negative impacts of duplicate commands.
Page 136 of the book has a little bit more detail.

All you should need is the following in your ~/.zshrc
HISTFILE=~/.zshistory SAVEHIST=500 HISTSIZE=500
If that doesn't help let me know. Or mail zsh-users. I've never had a problem with it and it has always worked well. I also set these options:
That chart is years old. Perhaps even as much as a decade.
There are way more new features that could be added to it. Especially from zsh. Many of zsh's strongest features are not even mentioned.
For ksh, it is only looking at ksh88 which is what comes with Solaris, AIX etc. ksh93 has many more features related to scripting, some of which this book mentions. Since the release of version 93q earlier this year, ksh is now licenced under the CPL making it properly open source so you can even get it in Debian.
Well there's plenty of books out there on basic/bin/sh shell scripting. This book has a lot more focus on interactive features. I agree that it may be wise to stick to plain POSIX when writing scripts for an embedded system but you do yourself a disfavour if you don't take advantage of bash and zsh's many extras when using them interactively.
You'll find that Zsh does csh/tcsh style history substitutions. All the things you're used to like !$ also work in zsh. I tend to use for the same thing as !$ unless I want to combine it with modifiers though. There are a number of tcsh inspired features and options to make things a little more csh-like. I converted from tcsh myself.
I've noticed this. I got a 1GHz Athlon a few years back and it doesn't seem to be much behind the latest Athlons (especially when I count my athlon's overclocked speed). My previous machine was a 100MHz pentium and that seemed to go out of date really quickly.

They wouldn't have to buy google for cash. Most mergers involve a cash and shares deal. Or they could have a new rights issue.
The reason the can't buy google is that there's no way the anti-trust authorities would allow it.

I also set these options:The last of those allows history so be shared between concurrently running shells.
It isn't an error in zsh.
I _know_ that variable assignments are whitespace sensitive, but in my opinion no good language should be.
So how does fish allow you to run a command named foo with equals as the first argument? Do you need to quote the equals.
Do you really need semi-colons after all those lines?

Of the complaints you mentioned, at least the apt-get one will be fixed in the forthcoming zsh 4.2.1.
