There are versions of tar (that I have to use) which don't autodetect the compression type. And that alias includes non-tar filetypes.

I believe he was referring to this answer. Q: There had speculation that Samsung might be awarded damages as well because of its claim that Apple had infringed its technologies. A: "What was key to us... is that [the technologies] had to be

Cute, but that wasn't the bet. They were referring to seven bash commands, i.e. "lines". So you lose by 242 commands.

He's talking about mailing lists where people submit patches and such, so 90% of the email is text only. And (here I'm guessing) he's talking about replying to, say, a patch email and having it html-fied.

The blog linked to an img of a newspaper from the period. Here is the Library of Congress's archive of the same paper, showing the same letter. Now, that doesn't show that the Tribune wasn't duped as to the letter's source, but it does sh

Official fighter pay is reported to state commissions and can be found on many sites after the event. What is not disclosed, and is probably the lion's share of most fighter's income, is sponsorships. I don't know who gets a cut of the PPV

I had 15 or so collections (misspent youth, what can I say), it took me a year of off-and-on effort to clear them out. I had a very boring high-paying job, so I could take the time to do it right, and could afford to send out registered le

I second creditboards.com. It can be difficult and demoralizing to find what you need on there, but it's worth it. I've got several collections removed from my own report, and I'll help anybody who asks. Since you're dealing with a small

The implication is 'proper for you '. One size fits all ... doesn't. But everyone should shape his tools to fit himself.

I disagree. The paragraphs were comprehensible and held together by subject matter. I had no trouble reading them.

Of course apples are kept for long times. 14 months seems iffy, but in order to sell apples all year round, you have to store them for many months. Most produce is sold this way, but apples are particularly good for storage. You can stor

Unfortunately, I can't offer anything specific to that video. But I can say that many of Derren's tricks are combinations of forces, multiple tries (how many ad execs participated?), compliant participants, and my favorite "dual realities".

As pointed out in the comments BASE and HEAD (latest in repo) are what he's looking for. Now waiting for the author to say "Of COURSE Subversion diffs against the repository ..."

I admittedly don't know anything about squatters -- but if you were going to squat in order to own a house, why would you treat it like a rental? You're trying to take ownership, you would treat it like it was yours. There must be some asp

Is the guy living there now? Seems he would have the same incentives as any owner. I don't see why the neighborhood cares at all, or why anyone should care what the neighbors think.

To be clear, I was talking about physical cpu's, not cores. But honestly, that's not the right way to think about the licensing. Sure, you need a license for each physical cpu, but beyond that you're just licensing for vRAM. So the real q

By my reading of this pdf, each physical CPU requires a license and each license allows for 24-48GB of guest ram. It seems they're specifically trying to limit licensing by vRAM, rather than CPU because there are more cores in CPU's now.

To me, 24GB per cpu seems very low for a VM host.

He's talking about when you select the URL to copy it to another application, say an email or instant message. At that time you need the http:// so the other app knows it's an URL. Which means you're putting something in the clipboard w

The unification of search and URL bar in Firefox, Chrome, and mobile browsers makes this even more common, at least for me. I don't always know if the browser is going to find a bookmark, something in my history, search Google, or try to o

Wow, that's certainly one way to do it. I'm still not seeing an issue with 'grep -v grep'.

by Despite 15y ago
I use both, but 'grep -v grep' is far easier to type. And I almost always want the full ps output, or I'm searching for a commandline argument rather than the process name, so pgrep is out.

I've been trying to learn the emacs way of doing things, without resorting to Vim emulators, but this is really tempting. One question, how well do these work with say Paredit mode? Paredit really hates it if you change a parenthesis via s

Thanks for pointing that out. I don't remember reading it before. But, they own up to the one security hole that really bothers me. As a sysadmin, I know there is always a way for employees to get sensitive data. If a program can see it,

grep treats "[m]yapp" as a regex, which will match "myapp" but not itself. That is, it won't match the exact string "[m]yapp" so the grep process won't show up in the listing.

Hmm, that's interesting. My first response was "Surely, find can do that without creating a new file." But it looks like the other options only take a number of minutes, or a number of days, not a timestamp. That's a strange deficiency.
