differences between Bourne shell, Korn shell, C shell, and bash
http://www.efytimes.com/e1/creativenews.asp?edid=123101 :
Always wondered what is the difference between these four shells? Here's the answer. …
just downloaded Avishai Cohen's 2001 album Unity
Certainly: I properly paid for it. And yes, I got it from Az. I was so surprised to find it there.
- I am still missing his 1991 album Devotion,
- and his 2007 album "As is...Live at the Blue Note",
- and his 2008 album "Sha'ot Regishot", in English: "Sensitive hours".
And I also edited the above wikipedia article a little.

shell code and useless use of "ls *.tar"
Consider this code (I came across such Korn shell script code recently):
Please forgive me the naming here! I was happy to take this note anyway.
TARFILE=$(ls -1 /tmp/*.tar)According to http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html#ls you ought to replace the ls with a glob, e.g. like this:
[[ -s /tmp/*.tar ]] && set -A tarfiles /tmp/*.tarInstead you may want to enquire ${#tarfiles[@]}, i.e. the number of files globbed.
for TARFILE in "${tarfiles[@]}"
do
: # ...
done
Please forgive me the naming here! I was happy to take this note anyway.

O'Reilly Media book: Raspberry Pi Hacks
HACK 05: Monitor the Raspberry Pi Hardware
HACK 08: Get More USB Ports: bus powered USB hubs vs. externally powered USB hubs, backpower
HACK 21: Build a Cross-Compiler Toolchain; on openSuSE:
- $ sudo zypper install gcc gcc-c++ bison make ncurses-devel texinfo flex gperf libtool sed subversion gmp-devel libstdc++-devel; # there is no libstdc++-static
- instead of crosstool-ng-1.18.0.tar.bz2 I got crosstool-ng-1.19.0.tar.bz2
- completed building crosstool-ng like this: $ sudo make install
- $ mkdir /usr/local/cross-sandbox && cd /usr/local/cross-sandbox
- set prefix directory to /usr/local/x-tools/${CT_TARGET}
- $ env -u LD_LIBRARY_PATH ct-ng build # because it does not like LD_LIBRARY_PATH set
- *** I am stuck here ***
"radio has been denied Superuser permissions" – keep getting this message after rooting my Galaxy S 2
Apart from pushing the radio out of the task manager's list (i.e. killing the command), I have not found means against this yet.

English grammar/writing: use of "present perfect" as opposed to "past tense"
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_perfect#German
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_perfect#English
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uses_of_English_verb_forms#Present_perfect
… . The choice of present perfect or past tense depends on the frame of reference (period or point in time) in which the event is conceived as occurring. … . If the frame of reference extends to the present time, the present perfect is used. … . If the frame of reference is a time in the past, or a period which ended in the past, the past tense is used instead. …The use of present perfect resp. past tense is quite different (as described above [link]), and German native speakers confuse their use in English a lot; by my experience they rather resist accepting the difference and applying them properly in English. (This is rather annoying.)
