http://www.codefetch.com/ is a search engine that searches a very useful collection of code: the source code from programming books.
Neither koders nor krugle cover that, plus codefetch searches the APIs of several languages, java, ruby, php, for example.
Finally, unlike koders, codefetch lets you do a true full-text search, just like in a text editor-- go ahead, search for "+=" and you can even use a few regular expressions.
http://www.codefetch.com/ offers a limited regular expression search as one of its main features. And it can do a true full-text search: You *can* search for "#!" for instance.
Its not Google, but it does search a lot of good code from published books.
http://www.codefetch.com/ does let you search for bash scripts. Choose "Unix / Shell" from the main page.
Codefetch lets you know how much material it can search for a language and you can see by the single dot that it doesn't have a lot for bash but it still should have enough to help you.
A problem with extended life spans is it makes people more risk-averse. You think its bad now with kids wearing goggles and helmets to play miniature golf? When we've got 300 years to lose we'll all be walking around in kevlar suits driving Freightliners to go next door. No more skiing, cycling or frisbee-- who'd want a bad knee for the next 250 years?
Check out the risk-taking in nations that have low life-expectancy. If you're 40, and not going to live past 50, you don't waste the time you have stopping at red lights.
I run a source code search engine with a business model not unlike Google print. I was nervous about how authors would take to having their source code searchable, but the only response has been positive, mostly consisting of authors asking how they can add other books of theirs to the index.
The worse thing about cars is not the pollution, the noise, the fossil fuel dilemna, not even the horrific fatal operator error rate. Its the space they take up. The space required for everyone to park, drive, and park again works against all other modes of transportation by making things farther apart and covers everything in between with asphalt.
That said, an enclosed scooter like the BMW C1 makes much more sense than the four-wheeled PM because you can operate it in a narrow vehicle lane and park in a motorcycle space. With anti-lock brakes, roll cage, and harness, and a superfluous helmet required in some jurisdictions, its no rolling coffin. And you can buy it now.
I suggests browsing the database of the Center for Land Use Interpretation. Under "Browse by Category", choose "Cultural Sites" and check out all the wierd and abandoned stuff throughout the US.
I was happy to find my Photoshop book [associate link] available used through Amazon. $45 new is too much for students and the book is now 3 versions out of date anyway. But at reasonable used prices people still buy and like it and the fact that its still talked about puts me in a better position to negotiate the next edition.
The used price of a new (as in not-yet-outdated) tech book is a useful indicator of much people value it. Horrah for people's ability to dump crappy books. It will encourage better writing.
Interesting news, but I'm not going to read through an ZDnet article written by a guy who can't distinguish 2.4Megabits/sec from 2.4MegaBytes/sec. I'm embarrased that I even got suckered into reading such crap.

I'm not going to slashdot their site, I'm just going to visit it to see if what they say is true.
Bike Friday makes performance bikes that fit in a suitcase.
And if you need to, you can even haul the suitcase as your are riding!
I own their family tandem, modified to fit 3 people and it fits in two standard suitcases. No more $75 airline bike fees for me!
Worry when the business press starts writing articles (free reg req.) about ways to profit from global warming.
From the Dec. 13, 2004 issue:
Denver businessman Pat Broe, owner of the subarctic port of Churchill, Canada, stands poised to profit from polar trade. Why? The ice is melting.
