When forced to use grep, try to make it possible to use fgrep -it is a smaller binary and uses no regex's (only pattern matching so you may need to adjust the comparison algorithm). Hmm # cat /bin/fgrep #!/bin/sh exec grep -F ${1+"$@"} I've just trained myself to type "grep -F" ...

Much of the time I go the other way and depend more on bash, instead of less. Usually, slowness in scripts is due to poor design-making too many checks, unnecessary loops or from calling external programs. Using even medium-level bash functionality can replace many of the external calls. I generall...

After running 'checkbashisms' on a number of scripts, it says that echo -e "blah blah \n blah" is not supported .. and to use actual new lines inside the "" Yeah, the builtin echo in dash acts always as "echo -e"... I just hacked dash to ignore the "-e". Note...

We need a new frontier, a new America to start up biz on. Sweden is one of the most underpopulated countries. Lots of room for unemployed to start their own biz in. Cameron could export the unemployed to Sweden. That would make life in England less crowded? :) Well, considering how they keep bringi...

sed is faster and probably safer, as you can use the "-i" switch...

I haven't tried it yet, but this looks like it might be interesting.

Open /usr/sbin/xorgwizard and find the bit that looks like TEMPSECTION="$TEMPSECTION Option \"XkbRules\" \"xorg\" Option \"XkbModel\" \"pc102\" Option \"XkbLayout\" \"$XKEYMAP\" #xkeymap0" and replace the last line to Option \&quo...

Shooting rioting kids in the head is not an option. Just as public hanging of bankers is not an option. First, you shouldn't call them "kids". Call them "criminals", 'cause that's what they're gonna be doing all their lives. Second, you're wrong. The whole problem is that some p...

Yes, that's a problem. The really annoying part is that the "/d" feature doesn't work with any other delimiter (unlike the "s/" feature).

You must be taking the piss... People who use a guy's death as an excuse to break into a shop and steal cell-phones? People loading cars with loot? As the song goes: Well, I seen the fires burnin' And the local people turnin' On the merchants and the shops Who used to sell their brooms and mops And ...

The paper calls for government institutions to be more open, investment to enable young people to think critically and recognise propaganda, and for civil society to play a proactive role. I suspect teaching young people to think ...

Then just add it... copy what I posted above.

You claim it's unpolitical [sic] but how in crap should I be able to tell that? No, I'm saying that, with some, it is political, but so what? NSBM stands for National Socialist Black Metal: that's a neo-Nazi sub-genre, which tends to be one-man "projects" made by weak white boys who don't...

Sorry for weighing in on this, and being such a non-expert... Bit even I (the total noob!) got very close to completing the build of a working ARM-supported toolchain, using ttylinux.. You don't really need to compile a toolchain: - for the main filesystem, you have the distros like Ubuntu and Fedo...

Maybe my last resort is to wait for another Puppy release, and to hope that Programmer's Dvorak keyboard layout is included. I don't think he has plans to have it merged. Here's a .pet that would -- hopefully -- do it for you. After installing it, there is a chance it might appear in xkbconfigmanag...

Yes, I find it odd that later JWM versions are worse in some ways than the older version. Example: Newer JWM versions won't allow root-tail (and the like) to work, if JWM has wallpaper set in its <Desktops> config.. Also I have always thought it so odd, that the 'stable' is so old... I found that P...
