Just use Python. It'll let you accomplish the same tasks, likely in a fraction of the time, and with a much better result. Plus your script will likely be more portable, too, even to Windows!
Sure, as long as you have the same version of Python installed, your script might be portable. I can't remember when was the last time I had to check $BASH_VERSION.
Bash is a relic from a pre-Python world. It's time to move away from bash.
How about using the right tool for each job?
Use Bash for simple tasks that involve running programs, piping their output, checking their exit code, etc.
Use Perl for text manipulation, regular expressions, complex data structures, complex logic, one-liners, etc.
Use Python for your code to be readable by an 8 year old.
Income inequality is probably the biggest factor for high crime rates.
When the guy flipping burgers works his ass to make 500 times less than a CEO, and at the same time he has easy access to firearms, bad things happen.
Besides drugs and easy access to firearms, the prison system is a factor too. People in the US go to jail as a punishment, not for rehabilitation. People do jail time for small crimes that don't deserve it, and they become real criminals there.
Since we are talking about Israel, you can replace "two soldiers" with "two 18 year old kids". In most countries, kids graduate high school and start getting drunk and laid in college. In Israel kids finish high school and start their military service. And this is for both genders.
I have also noticed strange session problems since a few months. Sometimes you think you are logged in, but you are not. And you can't log in again, no matter what. Right now I can't log in from work, and I'm afraid of logging out from my home computer, because I won't be able to log in again.
Overall I've had a positive experience with Soekris devices. However, let me tell you why I won't be buying any more of them:
1. Cases badly designed for cooling. Unless you add a fan, you will have to put the case vertically in summer.
2. Disregard for OS support/integration. These things are supposed to work on Linux and BSD, but when something goes wrong (ie: the device hangs) or the hardware doesn't work as well as it should, they just blame the OS and don't even investigate. They might offer an RMA if its under warranty, but the issues will continue for sure.
3. As soon as their latest device comes out, support for the older ones stops. For example, they promised to add USB boot support for the net5501, but as soon as the net6501 came out, they just forgot about it.
Other minor ones: closed BIOS and the price is not great.
Closed services like viper, line, msn, whatsapp, icq, skype will come and go at the whim of the companies that own them, but XMPP's open and distributed nature means it will only disappear when people like you and me lose interest.
Instead of giving up on it, you should spread the word and convince your family and friends to use it. A few of my friends have registered in public XMPP servers, there are several from which to choose: https://xmpp.net/directory.php https://www.jabberes.org/serve...
PS. Google's motto needs some updating: Don't be evil, unless you might benefit from it.
Its far fetched to think that he had a stroke in that period of time, and then decided to make a fool of himself and his party in the Assembly instead of being in the hospital or at home recovering.
Any throttling or data cap should be clearly specified.
How much "unlimited" data can you transfer if the speed is capped to, say 50 KB/s? For sure you could still browse most websites with this kind of plan, but this is not what you signed up for.
50 KB/s sounds ridiculous? How about 100 KB/s? What is an acceptable limit? The answer is: any, as long as it is clearly stipulated in the contract.
I love Perl for its power. I love CPAN, POD, etc. It is my swiss army tool for everything between quick one-liners and programs with complex data structures.
The current Perl 5 interpreter is fast and efficient. And I never felt the language itself was missing anything important (although using it for OO is a bit awkward).
The only thing they should fix in Perl is support for unicode filenames in Windows platforms.
I was initially looking at Fitbits and Android based devices, but these are ugly and not special. They just mean nothing.
For this Christmas, I recommend "Apple Watch", if you care about someone special.
Good idea! That way she gets to see your message every day when she charges it. Or even more often, if she actually uses it.
Until the new version comes out in a few months, and you'll bend over and fork $500 more to buy it, and hers ends up in a landfill in a third world country.

Its all about the balance of risks vs. benefits:
TV / sat dish / other stupid examples you posted:
Risks: 0.001$ injury.
Benefits: plenty
Cigarettes:
Risks: detrimental to individual's health and society.
Benefits: looks cool!

Ain't nobody got time for that.
Looking at your graphs, I worry that the US hasn't been able to switch to metric in all that time.

What if you don't want to route ALL your traffic through the VPN? A proxy gives you that kind of flexibility.

The big problem is the lack of support from so many TLDs.
Sorry we didn't meet your expectations, but the public notaries are closed on weekends.
My feelings exactly.

(btw, I don't believe any military uprising would be necessary to oust Chavez. If he loses the presidential election, he will leave.)
Well, yes, ever since he died from cancer, he doesn't care so much about staying in office...
Oh I just realized that you were talking about Maduro, not Chavez.
It is an understandable mistake, since they often speak through birds.
