I'd love to get up at 5am every day, and work from 6am to 2 or 3pm.
And I'm the opposite. 11am until 7 would be perfect. Of course, if you could get the drunken students that wait for taxis outside my windows from making hellish noise until 11.30, 11.45 pm from making any noise, I might be able to get to sleep before midnight, and hence be able to be up before 8.
Yep, I realised *what* it expanded to - echo foo{,.bak} showed me. What I was curious about was how? Does , within {} equal the thing that went before? It doesn't seem like any shell expansion I've ever seen before.
And the funny thing? The most northern part of Illinois (as you didn't say where you were) is 42.50773 degrees north. Where I live in the UK is 51.2 north, and yet it's a whole lot warmer and milder.
Thank heavens for the gulf stream, and the nice thick layer of cloud that keeps the UV rays out, and the heat in.
No - of course lawyers can solve things. It's just strange how readily Americans use them. We're starting to get into the litigation-culture here though - especially when accidents happen. 10 years ago, if you tripped over something, and broke your ankle, you'd probably say "What a fool I was for not looking", and hobble around for a few weeks. Now, you'd be on the phone, trying to sue someone.
The real WTF is that there should be some government agency that sorts things like this out for you. If someone assaults you, you expect the police (government agency) to investigate, and try and sort it out. You don't have to pay for your own investigation, or go to the media to drum up a campaign. Why should this "assault via phone" be any different? It seems that the "money is god" attitude over there gets in the way of "make people's lives better" - which is ultimately what society is for - why we live together, and exchange services and goods.
I don't know where you live, but a 2 bedroom house for $400 a month, even $800 a month sounds like heaven over here in the UK. Have a look at RightMove and see what I'm talking about:(
You'd virtually have to live in Gangsta Road, Slum City to get somewhere like that
As a bemused observer from the UK, it seems strange to me that two of the methods offered here are "contact the media", or "get a lawyer".
I leave it to others to decide what this says about the US.
Traditional peak power hours -- the time during the day when power demand shoots up -- run from 4 pm to 7 pm when air conditioning begins to ramp up
I find it funny when people from hot countries mock and point out that the UK is rainy, and not that hot most of the time - and then those same people spend most of their time trying to stay cool in the pool, with aircon in the home, in the car etc.
How about living somewhere temperate?
And when climate change means more droughts, and hotter weather further north (south in the southern hemisphere) - I imagine we'll see quite a few people wishing it rained as much in their country as it does here.
And stealing phones, since they're already criminals having to steal a phone isn't much of a deterrent.
However, if you're planning $LARGE_SPECTACULAR_JIHADIST_ATTACK, and you steal a phone, it makes you a little more likely to be caught/fail.
That said, I think it's a stupid idea.
I was just about to correct your spelling, but I find that perogative, that I've been using forever is wrong. You learn something every day, huh.

The Quietest Sun

New spots are beginning to break out on the face of the Sun and may signal the end of a dry spell in solar activity.
For which I, as a radio amateur will be very happy, as we're currently right at the lowest point of the sunspot cycle . The sun's activity correlates with the "reflectivity" of the layers of the atmosphere. When the layers are "reflective", signals can bounce, with each bounce landing a thousand or so miles away. If you get a few bounces, you can talk to the other side of the world, even on low power. When there's no propagation, you are unlikely to get more than 50 or so miles (groundwave), no matter how much power you pump out (excluding modes like satellite, moonbounce, meteorscatter, etc).
Although the solar dials don't seem to indicate it.

You sound like you need some Zen in your life.
Those RFID thingies shout out, "I'm an American citizen, kidnap me!".
Stop with the paranoia. You'll find people around the world are generally all decent people. Of course, YMMV in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc, etc
And of course - Hammer Time.

When I make pancakes, the recipe calls for 2 cups of flower and 1 cup of water
If you make your pancakes with flower and water, I can't imagine they'd taste very good. A little too fragrant, I expect.
Aaah, so that's what the loopback interface is for...
I want a 1 bathroom, no bedroom house too!

cp filename.ext{,.bak}
Wow. I've been using Linux for *mumble* years and I'd never seen that. How does that expand? (Save me reading the bash man page)
Retch.

Yeah, just download a couple of GB with BitTorrent... :)

Eh? 1 in 4 means you have to find 3 who aren't, and then the fourth would be.
And even *if* they were aliens and they did exist, it's still not going to fix our economy, make gas cost $2 a gallon, or even take out the trash.
Wow. We're so clever that we couldn't learn anything from aliens?

Perhaps Google should bundle Privoxy or Tor with it? That'd counter the paranoics a little. Or maybe fuel them.
OK then - explain how the "Rrr"s can give it away
