Basically, patterns. My stepson is somewhat autistic and has an amazing memory, especially with numbers. But he's also very good at remembering patterns. Chess isn't my thing, but I'll have to teach him and see how he does. He's only three and has trouble with complex actions, but we'll see.
"more", in its "standard" *NIX form, is forward-scroll only, among many other limitations. "less" takes care of all those limitations. Think if it as "less" is "vi" and "more" is "ex" (or "edlin", from the DOS days if you're unfamiliar with ancient tools).
It may not have been Millionaire, but I seem to remember this question: What does "COM" in ".COM" mean? A. Comedy B. Computer C. Company D. Commercial. The guy said D and they said it was C.
you cant ask to be put on their do not call list, all you can do is start getting rude
Hogwash. All companies must maintain their own do not call list, and they must put you on it if you request. They cannot give your number to anyone else, except to add it to their do not call list. This may vary state to state, but it's definately the case in at least Washington State.

The vendor of our SAN keeps trying to sell us their "tier 1" drives -- at $1700 for a 143gig drive. We've tried explaining what the "I" in RAID means, but they don't get it. Unfortunately, we're kind of stuck with them so we have very few spare drives laying around.
OT: Anyone have any good stories to give the boss so we can get some Xserver RAIDs? The sysadmin won't even consider it because it's not SCSI. Grrrrr.
Wouldn't the logical solution to that problem be [wait for it]: don't offer "unlimited" plans? They're just going to change them six to twelve months down the line anyway, and inform you of the change on something that looks like an ad included with your bill so you toss it without reading it.

But you'd still have the porn.

You are correct. I checked it shortly after posting but was too lazy to follow up on it. Less is still better. :-)

Webmin. Grab Usermin while you're there.
Oy veigh!
Yes! That was it. Saw it on Game Show Network a some months ago. Knew it was a four-choice show. :-) Thanks.
The chicken. No, the egg.

An epic task, given the nature of caffeine.
Pussies. The whole point of hitting them in the legs was to watch the jocks land flat on their face as their legs fell out from under them!

Since they're doing *NIX now, it'll be 2038.
"Batch conversion", perhaps? Granted, you need someware to do that. Some are free. My favorite: IrfanView.
Or, you could just get the Windows version of ImageMagick.

Hopefully this won't have the same packet corruption issues your current protocol seems to have.
Otherwise: +1, Chuckle

Do we really need a reason to sacrifice them?

Perhaps, but the drool would evaporate from the generated heat before it even left the corner of your mouth.

I second Konfabulator. It's so well done it feels like it was always part of the system.
Such as having a boring job...
