   Do you have a suggestion for a pulse oximeter that I can use overnight. Quick googling doesn't give me anything in the price range.

    I guess my question should have been more clear. I am already using emacs and shell. But I feel there are still areas to improve. Alfred on OSX helped to avoid using the mouse in situations. I am looking for any other tools like that.

    iterm2 on OSX is an example of another tool that made my life much better. On the editor side I am using emacs and I am very happy with it.

    Maybe the "Ronco principle" has some truth to it. The two things I remember about the CEO is 1) Getting mad at someone who wont switch seats in a plane 2) Not allow employees to hang their jackets on their seats and joking about f

    I have been looking for a game to suggest to my 8 year old nephew. This looks simple enough for him to start on. But I am guessing he might need some help when recursion comes into picture. Thanks to others who have posted other suggestions

    1) Is not true. If you change jobs you don't have to go through the lottery again. It is just paperwork. 2) Is true and it is a big issue. It is sad to see educated spouses wasting their time here in the US

    I liked writing Perl instead of bash but I couldn't shake the "whole thing is a hack" feeling. That why I found myself using more and more Python. Is Perl 6 is more consistent(for lack of a better word) language ?
