   With XDG adherence applications might comply and put files scattered around the various XDG directories. Before XDG, applications that pissed all over my $HOME were rare, applications generally played nice and kept only on dot file or direc

   I considered it clean when everything had a single file or directory in $HOME. Some things didn't play nice but they were the exception. Now it might be that, or there might be files scattered among one or more XDG directories.

   I did this for awhile with HP printers. Because I didn't print often enough to use up the starter ink before it dried, it was cheaper to get the $30 printer with starter ink than to spend $20 more on replacement ink. Now I use print se

   I vaguely recall that when I was building LFS some time in the past, gcc 2.95 was recommended over the 3.x series for some reason. So I looked it up and found a line about it in an old version of the book: > This is an older release of G

    I vaguely recall reading (probably in the book All Corvettes Are Red) that the C5 Corvette was driven around with Camaro body panels to fool the media.

    This is going off of memory as I'm not at my computer. Bash does something similar. It will read and execute the script line by line so if it's modified before bash gets to that line then weird things can happen. However, function

    I'm not aware of any fridges that use an ice extraction mechanism like that. Seems unnecessary and extra work compared to an ice maker that just dumps ice into a container. If the ice maker fails, it's often replaceable.

    You might also check with the delivery guys to see which brands come back the most. It was LG and Samsung when I was delivering and installing appliances. Interesting thing about LG and Samsung is that they wouldn't accept returns. So

    A lot of those features are available in today's fridges. Also, they use less power today. And you really don't have to get one with wifi and a touchscreen.
