I did read the problem statement, but I thought tee was writing to all files in parallel. It's surprising that there seems to be no way to achieve that.

Also, did anyone solve their "canine challenge"? It seems to me that what they're asking for is "tee FILE... > /dev/null", but maybe I'm missing something?

At the very least, keep a backup, which is much simpler. Running your own shouldn't be that complicated, but it won't become easy until enough people start switching.

I don't really like the other UI either. "Share results with Lookout"? "For full protection, download Lookout Mobile Security"? "Tell your friends about Carrier IQ Detector"?

OK, and it seems that those algorithms only take the grayscale into account. Compare http://paste.fulltxt.net/:gh (your output) with http://paste.fulltxt.net/h-,:wiS (aalib's output). This probably isn't the best choice of image, but yo

I wonder which algorithm you're using? From very quick testing, it looks like you're picking characters to represent various grayscale values, but I'm not sure that you're taking the shape of the characters into account like other converter

The problem isn't getting ssh access (Cyanogen ships with the dropbear ssh server), but getting decent userland tools and possibly some form of package management. This is hard precisely because Android doesn't obey the LSB and assumes that

This is a very good idea. However, the interface isn't very convenient (especially having to mouse over items to get the description).

Jimmy: "Just click on the little cross to close the ad." Seriously, why are so many people complaining about this?

Mediawiki is indeed a very poor substitute for a VCS, and things could probably be improved. For example, there once was a project to store Wikipedia articles using git as a backend: < https://github.com/scy/levitation> .

Huh? Keeping email backlog for reference and inbox zero aren't mutually exclusive. Why would you keep this backlog in your inbox?

If this is a issue for you, a console-based client is a reasonable substitute. Terminals and SSH are pretty universal too (less so than web browsers, though). [Yes, you need to download putty on windows machines, but it's not that much of a
