Plenty on this list are well known but there are some nice ones that either I'd forgotten about or didn't know : column, ss, comm, fc I'd add the following to the list : printf , bc Also, "ddate" is fun. I had no id

I'm pretty active on Kickstarter, backing multiple projects. What's really worrying is that the Kickstarter folk didn't detect the breach themselves. It was law enforcement (I'm assuming FBI) who contacted them about it.

Tragic and inspiring at the same time. One wonders what could have been.

Thank you, I love this. I've been using rain sounds from Youtube on my tablet at night to help me sleep. This seem better and more configurable.

Good old perl. Complicated, funny, odd and very useful. I've been using it regularly for the last 6 years now.

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is b

I have long worried about this. Apparently the fish populations in some areas are past this point already, the African rhino is now near or officially extinct, tigers and lion populations are in danger too.

I like Sugru. Have used it for several things including padding and grips on my compact digital camera. My only complaint is that it has a short-ish shelf life though from what I understand, it can be extended by refrigeration. Its also som

Just putting this out there - what if Arafat's body was contaminated after he died .... so that there would be a controversy later and some target could be blamed ? Say it was done just within the few minutes or hours after he died, co

This is neat but some potential problems with it. - Will not protect from things falling on the head - May not protect in a direct impact (head-on) collision where the head may hit something before the person falls because it may not deploy

This is so outrageous that for a second I thought the article may be an Onion-type hoax. I hope that man sues the county and the police force. They need to be taken to task.

Amen to that. I've been off facebook and orkut since early 2008 and have not regretted it for one moment. I get some mild flak from friends once in a while but they all know how to contact me if they want to.

I don't think Marie or Pierre knew the ill effects of exposure to high doses of radiation. Nobody did. They had no idea (at that time) how dangerous it was.

It not just China, I've seen this in India too. I've also noticed another thing about it - In India its the poor people who are much more willing to help compared to the middle and upper-middle class people. I call it the "no

Not really. I've had some form of so-called "Agile" processes thrust upon me by people who didn't have any prior experience with it. All they did was read and article or a book or attended some 1-day course on it.

In my experience over the last 5 years: Agile isn't.

I just dropped by to say that Stanford Ovshinksy is not unknown ... just relatively lesser known. I knew about him as far back as 1997 thanks to a documentary about him and his work. I recall one of the catch-phrases he used to describe his

None of this is new. There have been plenty of articles describing how expat laborers are treated in some of these Middle Eastern countries. I have family who live and work in Dubai (very near Qatar) and Ive visited a few times. Here are so

Take a week or two of vacation, think things over. Sometimes just taking a break and relaxing can give you ideas and put things in perspective. It has worked for me in the past.
