I mean, I would say it is. Why are there quotes around the variable? What happens when I remove the quotes? The quotes don't function like the parens. If this were a two argument function, you wouldn't put one pair of quotes aroun

My (personal) better recommendation is to avoid bash scripts whenever possible ;) I generally tell people that, once a script is longer than ~100 lines and/or you start adding functions, you're probably better off with something l

I'm with jmnicolas on this. I've been using bash on and off for years now (approaching decades). I still get it very wrong almost always. It's the only language where this is a persistent problem for me. Just yesterday I was

Not if you want it to be actually random. But you might be correct if you simply want the appearance of randomness.

Honestly, I expect that would be the easy part. The hard part is: "Can you put [specific toy] in the kids meal?" "Wait, no, I want ketchup on that. I mean, mustard." "Can you bring it out to me when its ready?"

This was already solved, however. If one was worried about this, one could have set the option to leave the light on when recording.

I look forward to trying the rotary phone thing on my still young children. Hell, they might have an issue with a touch tone phone by the time they're old enough :)

This isn't a complete picture. If you are in the need for a product, you will be more comfortable with a product if it feels familiar. This is true whether that familiarity comes from having used it before, because you've seen oth

That's a statement about the practical engineering involved, yes. However, saying a computer is "Turing complete" is not misleading. It is purely a statement of its mathematical properties. If sockets were given absurd timeou

In theory, if you can perform a computation/algorithm on one turing-complete device, you can transform it to run on another. That is to say, anything your desktop computer can do, Magic can do as well (albeit much much _much_ slower).

Encryption and signing are different things here. Encryption in this case means that the contents of the email are encrypted between Google's servers and the recipient's servers. i.e. preventing snooping. Signing verifies that the
