It's not "pulling crap", as you say. For one thing, until you sign the contract, you're not bound in any way. Even then, the first few months are typically defined as a trial period, in which both parties are free to walk away. Better oppor

On the other hand, imagine being able to 'jump' into the output with a cursor, hit enter and open any file, or hit delete, or F2 to rename etc. From a UI point of view, it could be great (notwithstanding my other comments).

> 'His "rich display" is actually a display of poverty' Presumably the "view" for `ls` will be configurable, so this is not an important issue. The worrying part for me is that it's another of layer of separation between me and my data.

It's funny, but this is the opposite of what happened during the 1950s space race. Russia, having less cash to spend, contracted work out various bidders, whereas america established the massively centralized NASA.

I always wanted to rename the script to "/etc/init.d/procrastination" whereby the command "stop" would start the service and vice-versa.

I once wrote a similar script which was configurable and it installed as a service. It would periodically scan /etc/hosts to check I wasn't cheating. $ sudo /etc/inid.d/procrastination-ctl start OK. $ sudo /etc/inid.d/procrastinatio

I figured working from home would be great for the first month, and then I would start going mad. And when I asked who was going to pay for my chair, desk and computer, and who would pay the heating, lighting, ADSL and air-conditioning ...
