sort can take input from du, ls, df, or arbitrary scripts, you only need to define the key for sorting and that is it.
If you use objects the output of du is completely different from the output of ls, df or another arbitrary script, ther is no way a predefined sort method could deal with that.
Thsi for sure means that you have to overload the methods to fit the data. So from one flexible, elegant solution we would need to move to a contrived one using obejcts where in reality we don't need them or they become a liability.
The idea is interesting, but gut feeling is telling me that the MS approach of one size fits all may be pervading this.
Too complicated and confussing, you have to made up all the "common language" and the interface between programming languages becomes more complex than the code for the problem you are actually trying to solve.
Text is easy to parse and backwards compatible, and if you organize it cleverly, it can represent objects (XML!)
If I borrow a DVD from a friend, the companies are getting no money, you are losing even more pennies! Shock, horror, we are thieves.
Look pal, the bussiness model where you try to charge big bucks for something that basically is infinitely reprudicible is broken.
Yes it hurts, people before you have pleaded for their old trade, it did not work.
You have to invent new bussiness models about the work you do, but software licensing is pretty much dead as a concept (unless you have a state backed monopoly like MS, in which case you can damn well do whatever you want).
I am in a long trip by train tomorrow, 4.5 hours. That is 9 hours, most of which I want to watch movies.
I have bought movies legally, but frankly I am not willing to lumber around 4 or 5 DVDs when I can rip them and watch them in my device of choice.
I am not a copyright infringer. The idiotic companies that peddle music and movies keep insisting to target all, copyright infringers and paying customers, with their DRM lame efforts which inconvenience their paying customers (frankly I can't be bother in ocassions to buy DVDs given the cumbersome process to transfer movies to a digital format, thus I record stuff from TV and transfer that, it is not like I am going to die if I don't watch the latest DVDs the day they come out) and do not stop copyright infringers actually making money from their illegal activities.
Let me repeat this: copyright infringers that ignore copyright for a living are completely inconvenienced by DRM.
Give me a DVD with which I can do wathever I want without being restricted and I would have a big colection.
As things stand, I frankly can't be bothered, my gadgets give me more bang for the money with recorded stuff from TV.
The anecdotal evidence you present is funny, but that is why there is epidemyological studies: to laugh and marvel at the anecdotes while at the same time taking sound health policy decisions.
The UN, The Independent and many serious people do not afree with you and have the evidence to back their claims. If all what you have is your lucky grandad to back yours, well, lets say that you are in a bit of a disadvantage there.
I would not shill for my employer unless I was paid for it, if there are no restrictions in my employment contract, I say things as I see them regarding my employers (some gag you just in case).
Taiwan, alltough everybody and his dog, do not consider it an independent country, for praactical terms is not under Beijing rule, most likley they are not even part of the WTO (otherwise China would throw a hissy fit).
Projects that are beyond the capabilities of private corporations are undertaken by the state or non profit organizations.
Helath is a public service, private companies, that take decisions based on profit only instead of the common good, should have no bussiness producing medicines.
If something can be reversed engineered so quickly that the inventor does not have any first seller advantage, then one has to question how innovative the inventor really is.
The argument that patents are neede to produce innovation is complete bullshit.
Different interest groups would band together to solve especific problems: charitable organizations, governments, philantropists have the resources to research for medicines just for the good of mankind.
The pharmaceutical companies need so much money to produce a drug for marketing and to deal with the bureaucracy (which is necessary since the greed of the companies would make them cut corners to get medicines in the market as soon as possible, remove the greed incentive and most of the bureacucracy is immediately reduced).
Many advancements in medicine have been done without patents. THere is no logical reason why the whole industry cold do without them.
... or authorship recognition can be perfectly recognized in a regime without copyright as most people understand it.
After copyright law, they would be wealthy patrons (corporations, individulas, governments, unions, social organization, universities, etc).
In a world without copytight but with clear attribution and authorhip rights, the author would be recognized and people would comission work from good authors for a variety of reasons.
So do not push this falacy that we need copyright to protect them.
As for movies, being a different beast that has always lived under the umbrella of copyright, what we would see is far less production but enhanced quality.
And in any case, making movies is getting cheaper, in a few years anybody will be able to produce films of good quality, and by then the net will be 100 times or more faster than it is today, thus brinign a similar situation to what the music industry is facing.
Copyright is no longer the proverbial golden eggs hen it comes to the arts.
Your country should have not been there in the first place.
There is nothing you can do now that will ever compensate for the hineous crime your government has commited, the very least you could do is, yes, leave Iraqir to their own devices, it can't be much worse as it is now.
And the several minor shoothings after it since then?
Most USians are too dumb to see any relation between Iraq and safety back home, but you have to question if all those wasted resources facilitating the indiscriminate murder of Iraqis could not be best invested in controlling gun crime back in the US.
After all 30000 or thereabouts of USians are killed with guns every year.
That is low intensity "terrorism", but if you guys are happy to keep facilitating the oil industry activities at the expense of innocent civilians, your brave youth and idiotic waste of tax payers money, well, what can we do about it?

Whatever you are using clearly doesn't cut the mustard.
So you will have to come with a better example to get us exited.
Making everything an object may be a solution looking for a problem to solve....
That is exactly the problem with the idea.
sort can take input from du, ls, df, or arbitrary scripts, you only need to define the key for sorting and that is it.
If you use objects the output of du is completely different from the output of ls, df or another arbitrary script, ther is no way a predefined sort method could deal with that.
Thsi for sure means that you have to overload the methods to fit the data. So from one flexible, elegant solution we would need to move to a contrived one using obejcts where in reality we don't need them or they become a liability.

In Solaris:
find . | egrep 'bath.*' | xargs rm
for file names starting with bath
or
find . | egrep '.*bath.*' | xargs rm
for any files with bath in their name
but of course you could use
find . -type f -name '.*bath.*' -ls -exec rm {} \;
which is the right tool for the job.
As other posters have insisted, a bit of quoting goes a long way to use the shell properly.
Let me tell you something: it did not work.

.... because it is as clear as day that the course of action taken was misguided.
People have explained elsewhere what the correct way to act should have been.

This newspaper used to defend the use of it. 180 degrees change of position once they were confronted with modern evidence.
Front page news a few weeks ago.
If one of the most prominent UK liberal newspapers, The Independent, is prepared to apologize for advocating the use of cannabis ( check the plethora of articles: http://www.independent.co.uk/search/simple.do?publ icationId=55&includeSectionId=38&xsuccessUrl=index .jsp%3FtemplateName%3Dresult&xerrorUrl=index.jsp%3 FtemplateName%3Dresult&searchEngineName=lucySearch 1&includeSubSections=true&pageLength=25&articleTyp e=news&sortString=by_date_desc&maxRows=500&searchS tring=cannabis&searchType=independent ) you should really question if it is wise to put that substance in your lungs.

You are monumentally politically incompetent.
