    I would've saved this for later as I'm still coming up with nifty things, but here is my oneliner:

    find -mindepth 3 -name \*.rar | grep -v subs | grep -v part[0-9] | sort -R | sort -R | head -n 1 | sed -r 's/\ /\\\ /g' | xargs unrar e && find -maxdepth 1 -name \*.ogm -or -name \*.avi | sed -r 's/\ /\\\ /g' | xargs mplayer -fs && rm *.avi; rm *.ogm

    I keep it safe somewhere in my .bash_history ;)

    Find all .rars at a depth of minimum 3 from the current path, removes all subs, all .rar files with part??.rar, sort the list randomly, do it again (had some problems with always getting the same one multiple times in a row, this fixed it -- might have been bad karma, might have been a bad algorithm, but haven't been bothered to remove it to check), take the first from the top, replace spaces with escaped spaces (to make xargs work), unrar using xargs (to current root), find the unpacked video file, replace spaces and play! After mplayer exits (but only with return 0!), remove all .avi or .ogm from the current folder.

    If you need to limit it, do so after the first pipe, like this:

    find -mindepth 3 -name \*.rar | grep S01 | grep -v subs | grep -v part[0-9] | sort -R | sort -R | head -n 1 | sed -r 's/\ /\\\ /g' | xargs unrar e && find -maxdepth 1 -name \*.ogm -or -name \*.avi | sed -r 's/\ /\\\ /g' | xargs mplayer -fs && rm *.avi; rm *.ogm

    That's the reason for this way of having what you have in your script -- flexibility.

    What do other people do?

    Which is why we need one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_loop

    Have a look at the economics:

    For a launch loop to be economically viable it would require customers with sufficiently large payload launch requirements.

    Lofstrom estimates that an initial loop costing roughly $10 billion with a 1 year payback could launch 40,000 metric tons per year, and cut launch costs to $300/kg, or for $30 billion, with a larger power generation capacity, the loop would be capable of launching 6 million metric tons per year, and given a 5 year payback period, the costs for accessing space with a launch loop could be as low as $3/kg.[ http://launchloop.com/LaunchLoop?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=isdc2002loop.pdf ]

  23. SSH dynamic routing, university servers+FoxyProxy on Solution For College's Bad Network Policy? · · Score: 1

    Well, you could always do like me. I use autossh together with SSH key authentication to route data from a specific port at a server I always have access to, to my desktop computer at home.
    ssh -R 2222:localhost:22 ssh.at.university.tld does exactly that.

    From my laptop (or whatever computer I'm using), I do the opposite, route a port from the university server to my laptop:
    ssh -TNf -L 2222:localhost:2222 ssh.at.university.tld
    There are a lot of SSH flags, so there's plenty of things to play with. Compression is awesome when I'm taking the train and surfing using GRPS. On 9.6 KBps it feels like 1996 again, though.

    After that, I use my tunnel to set up SSH with dynamic routing:
    ssh -NfD 8080 ssh.at.university.tld 2>&1
    ssh -NfD 8081 -p 2222 localhost 2>&1

    In Firefox I use FoxyProxy to easily switch between the two proxies, and what this setup I can pretty much switch seamlessly between 3 proxies.

    Of course, it helps that I'm usually connected to the internet through the university connection and that my home desktop is on a 100 Mbps connected -- part of the research network here.

    Here is the relevant snippet from the SSH man page:

    -D [bind_address:]port
                              Specifies a local âoedynamicâ application-level port forwarding. This works by allocating a socket to listen to port on the local side, optionally bound to the specified bind_address. Whenever a connection is made to this port, the connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and the application protocol is then used to determine where to connect to from the remote machine. Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and ssh will act as a SOCKS server. Only root can forward privileged ports. Dynamic port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file.
