I do wish bash history had (at least optional) timestamps stored in it for each command. No good for mandatory auditing (users can always modify their histories to hide nastiness) but useful for comparing against other logfiles when troubleshooting stuff.
if test "$PS1" ; then
HISTDIR=${HOME}/.history
HISTFILE=${HISTDIR}/$(/bin/echo ${LOGNAME}-$(/usr/bin/tty)-$(/bin/date -Iseconds)
unset HISTSIZE HISTIGNORE HISTCONTROL HISTFILESIZE
touch $HISTFILE fi
It has the somewhat unfortunate downside of starting every shell with no history, but on the flipside it keeps a history of every interactive bash session you have, ever, ever. A must on production systems, IMHO. Upon reflection though I cannot figure out why the hell I put the 'echo' command there. Strange. I last touched that file in 2006. If you have NFS-mounted $HOME (which I don't) you could ad the hostname into the history filename too and keep a central log of everything you do on all such machines.
Interesting. My current motorcycle (2007 BMW F650GS Dakar) manages around 65mpg in summer, somewhat less in winter. Haven't really investigated too much but I guess the seasonal difference could be caused by cool air being more dense and the ECU compensating by feeding in more fuel, based on the lambda sensor in the exhaust.
Given that the bike weighs 195kg wet and your Prius weighs no less* than six times as much, 50mpg from a non-diesel engine is really quite impressive. 65mpg is pretty damn good for a bike of this size/weight, too. My new bike (2008 BMW R1200R) when it arrives will apparently be about on par with your Prius, consumption-wise.
* haven't checked, but last I looked there were very few small cars under 1200kg
I would suggest that people be encouraged to study an engineering discipline rather than comp.sci. Where I work (and also among my circle of friends/associates outside the workplace) we have both, and the difference is truly stark.
X1 == bestest laptop evar. certainly not the most powerful, but that doesn't bother me much (even though I use CPU-intensive apps like Bibble Pro)
Dell's current D420 is interesting but while the laptop is nice and compact (though still heavier than the X1) the power supply is stupidly huge, as with all the other Dells I've seen. Idiots, anyone? The X1 plug pack is tiny by comparison, thereby reducing the size of your portfolio case
Even the least intelligent Australian wouldn't be dumb enough to call the spawn of their loins a stupid name like "Dwayne". I have never met a such-named person, anywhere, in 27 years of living in Australia.

No, you're wrong, actually. They are much better off pwning eleventy billion little computers, because they are way harder (or impossible?) to effectively blacklist, filter and otherwise protect from.
A big server with lots of bandwidth will stand out like a honeymooner's dick (thanks Billy Birmingham) and be rapidly blacklisted. See: RBL, ORBS, etc
I would say that it's the exception because you (collectively, not you the individual) haven't really tried to make electronic transfers the rule. Adoption drives adoption, I suppose.
If I need to give someone some funds I tend to ask for an account number as a first option, and I know from experience with people from many walks of life (ebay, family, friends, colleagues, shops, etc) that I'm not the exception to the rule.
I don't know anyone of my generation (I'm 27 now) that uses a chequebook, and a lot of the older people are getting rid of theirs as well --- that primitive, time-wasting crap just isn't necessary anymore.
that's fscking ridiculous. Why would you mail a cheque/check when you can just deposit directly into their account? Utterly unnecessary lag. I have been using electronic direct deposits like this for ebay (and various other) payments for years, and it works very well indeed. I also use it to pay rent automatically, since my bank lets me setup repeating scheduled transfers.
FFS, at that stage you're already communicating with the bank systems electronically. why add an utterly unnecessary paper step? If you don't know the account number it makes a bit of sense, but in what other situation?
I had heard from friends who'd moved to the USA from Australia that it was a step backwards in financial systems, but I'd not realised just how big the backward step was.
I could count the number of cheques I have ever used on one hand. All of them were bank-issued cheques rather than personal cheques, and they were all for large purchases, like cars, Playboy playmates, 1000-room mansions and similar. (OK, just cars:/)
Increasing the bandwidth beyond a surprisingly small figure does not (automatically) improve noticeably the RTT. This is clearly demonstrated in one of the utterly wonderful Stevens books, though I forget which. Most likely one of the three TCP/IP Illustrated volumes.
Ultimately the limiting factors are (a) the transceivers terminating each segment, (b) software, and (c) the speed of light. It sounds like these guys have put their work into (b).
every time I try to use Solaris' (2.6, 7, 8, 9, haven't had a chance to try 10 yet)/usr/bin/sed it segfaults./usr/bin/grep lacks the very useful -q option. etc, etc, etc...
the real wtf is that solaris has perfectly functional versions of both of the above in/usr/xpg4/bin. as such the first thing I do on a new Solaris system is fix my profile to have said directory first in $PATH.
actually i check if my bread is ready by tapping it on the underside with my finger, this has worked flawlessly so far. when it is ready it makes a different sound
thermometers are for those modern people. my parental units have baked legs of cow or sheep all my life without needing thermometers, and i cannot recall a single occasion where the meet was over- or under-cooked.
lately i have found myself becoming a tech minimalist. instead of 5 or 6 hot power-sucking computers at home I now just have a wireless/dsl router and a dell x1/samsung q30 laptop. my house is cooler (thus cutting power usage by aircon) and my power bills are 60AUD a month smaller, sometimes even better. more money for beer!
though i can't help thinking "quit yer whining, bitches" - they're already pirates and so they are utterly disregarding licenses. while this "private flag" isn't a license (it's a mechanism) they really are in no position to be throwing stones
OTOH the mechanism has legitimate applications as well

Solar-powered flashlights do exist, in fact they are becoming pretty widely available in Australia. Charge in daytime, use at night

I wanted to find the animated GIF, but... effort
my X1 does too (though it is a rebadged Samsung).

You make an awful troll.
Want to sell your Slashdot UID? ;)
you must be new here!
The few jokes and chain mail letters I receive go immediately to my spam filter black hole...
chain mail will protect you rather better than ASCII armour!
It has a specific meaning in DNS , not HTTP.
It denotes the root DNS zone. Hence the fully qualified domain name is linux.dell.com. --- the com zone is a subdomain in the root zone.
I've only ever got that far in wizmode :-( which of course doesn't count. sans-wiz I've made it to the castle and no further.
