OK this looks awesome. Will try out zsh now!

And still today cut uses -d for deliminator and awk uses -F (and they better not change this otherwise many of my scripts will break)... Is there a logic behind how unix utilities' options work? Other than backwards compatibility.

Well it is exactly the same.

I'm not sure that this is as safe as you may think. EDIT More info. Yes this is better than curl ... | sh. But less has a lot of functionality (more than you'd expect) and a carefully written script could exploit some of this.

From the two computers I've used with spotify clients on the Linux version is far snappier and more responsive (as in responds to commands sometime within the current minute) than the OSx version. According to their blogs etc the main

Yeah media keys are annoying and not present on lots of keyboards. You could map this script via your window manager to something like special-F5 through to special-F8 to back-play/pause-stop-forward...

Check out the Arch Linux wiki on this. Spotify apparently plays nicely with the rest of your desktop and you should be able to set up media key short cuts. Or maybe just use the Clementine add on?

Definitely down south. Not as bad as the US but very similar. Compared to the rest of Europe it sucks!

Supposedly XFCE plays quite nicely with other window managers replacing xfwm.

At some point humanity will have to face the question. "Is it worth storing so many cat pictures and selfies?"

No this is not Internet. It is AOL v2. It could well mean that people never get any internet.

This is not the internet. This is facebook $\pm$ other big company's sites. The problem is that this will not be until the real internet arrives for poor people but instead . For millions, maybe billions (potentially for the majority

BY which time we'll know if it is really so bad or if it is actually an improvement. I doubt Red Hat (which has to actually sell it's OS and still flogs a load of Red Hat 6) will carry on pushing it if it really turns out to be a

If you only need versions in your distro's repos then this is usually fine - although often the more obscure stuff is broken in e.g. Ubuntu repos. If you want a newer version? Things break fast.

Please continue to do so. I'm sure that there are others like me that seriously appreciate you doing so.

What is to stop someone simply opening two bank accounts. Then paying their unsteady income into one and then transferring a steady amount of money into the other. Combined with the old adage about spending less than one earns and the resul

These people clearly did not have any experience with cats. What does a cat do when released into a strange place? It panics and then hides.

There was someone that put a collar with a wifi scanner on his cat and used it to map out where there were open networks in his area (well in the parts of the area that the cat went)....

How do they handle security updates? Does every app have to update all its own libraries in an e.g. heartbleed scenario?

This sort of thing really annoys me. Everytime I need a new library or new software I seem to have wade through loads of unfinished, unmaintained solutions claiming to be "clean and modern" or some other buzzword. > It adds not

Yeah point taken. However, I suspect that the lab sessions are tedious enough to help put a lot of students off studying physics (worked for me) and this may be part of the reason that they are so boring...

Do they not take the chance to teach error propagation and some related statistics etc in this course? As well as the basics of scientific writing. And encourage students to invest in learning LaTeX already.
