Anyone who uses grep also uses tab completion (or double escape on older Unix). Both keys luckily sit on the left side of your keyboard so you can pretty much type anything using your left hand with only a couple of keystrokes.

It turns out that yes, spiders can build webs in space and it's busy right now building a world wide web.
Apparently playing hockey has nothing to do with the climate... Tampa bay ? That doesn't sound too cold a place. It costs more energy to get the ice to freeze, though, so actually playing hockey in Florida is one of those things that cause global warming !
Go to yellowpages
then click on les photos de villes, pick a city, type in the address and look at the building !
I've always wondered what was the point for them to do that, I guess they had money to spare...
Maybe they could at least change its color... It's been blue for way too long ! How about having a random color ? Nobody will be able to call it BSOD after that, they'll just have to call it SOD...
I had mentioned this in my original post, but the fridge is not the most efficient way to warm the house !
I know there's plenty of drawbacks to the idea (cost, wouldn't work in summer, etc.) but still it would be nice for the winter.
BTW, just so you know, don't put beer outside when it's below -5 celcius, it will freeze !
Helium is extracted from natural gas, and it's a rare and non renewable resource. You can find it in the atmosphere, too, but it would be way to expensive to exploit. Right now the trend it too reduce the amount of helium used in the industry where possible, or else we'll eventually run out of the resource.

Hi,
I live in Canada and I've always wondered why we didn't have a fridge that would take advantage of the outside temperature ? I mean, when it gets down to -20s celcius and you spend a lot of energy heating your house to +20 celcius, then you spend some more energy to cool down the fridge inside the house (although it actually participates in heating up your house), it sounds kind of ridiculous, don't you think ?
Is there a particular reason for this ? Maybe it wouldn't be of much use for anyone but canadians, russians, norvegian and the like, but still...
I've always known there was a link between noise and temperature... After all, my fridge sure is noisy !
Just so you know I don't feel the least attacked by your remark, you might have noticed I said I lived in Montreal, Quebec ; never said I was a french canadian.
Although I'm not I still think your remark is racist and just plain stupid.
Hi,
I live in Montreal, Quebec and it's not that warm;-)
Now more seriously, we know it's been getting warmer lately (no, can't be more precise).
We know some of the things that we do can have an effect on temperature.
We know the earth have lived through cold and warm periods.
We don't know for sure that the increase in temperature today is due to us, although some of it might.
We don't know whether the increase in temperature today might not end up in a big drop in temperature tomorrow.
So the future might be :
1) colder
2) warmer
3) pretty much the same
We just don't know.
What we know for sure is that the pollution we create is bad for us now, because we breathe that polluted air, drink that polluted water, etc.
Isn't that good enough a reason to start taking actions to reduce pollution now or do we really need to ask ourselves whether we're changing the climate ?
Sure a phone ringing in a movie theatre is annoying but as far as I'm concerned hearing the guy behind you eating chips or playing with the ice in his coke isn't much better (not even mentioning the smell). All most people are asking for is respect, and neither coercive legislation nor electronic devices are going to give them that. A little education, perhaps ?

I can't believe what's happening, first ax the moon, now cut the sun, not to mention this thing about mars' spirit being stuck. What the hell is going on with our solar system ?
Free as in beer or free as in speech ?

They're supposed to all have smard digital id cards soon (search google for 'national id china').
