But between the download and the buy there's just a "promise" to buy. Would this make it just as illegal (or illegal) as just downloading it? "No offense, but this stuff is not a complicated moral dilemma by any means" Well, I agree to so

"And I think this entitlement has come out of being able to get away with stealing the content easily" Probably true. But it seems like it's shifting to some degree; A lot of normal people I know pay for Spotify, for example. I also feel

>As for hash tables, can't you guarantee uniqueness by using only reversible operations? Wouldn't that make the output almost as long as the input, defeating the purpose?

"What xargs is doing is taking each line of input and applying the supplied argument or command to the line of input" Actually it does not run command once for each line of input. This confused me for some time until I read the man page
