Sig sauers prominently featured in person of interest as well... Giving some leeway for the fact that it's a TV serial, there has to be some merit in the handgun for the protagonist to fall back to it all the time.

Like the others, I too find the layout and info overview is neat. Good use-case demo of real-time information scraping of the sale.
Also, like a few others, the "Perl" in your title is very interesting for me. As a Perl old timer working with a team that hasn't dabbled in any Perl at all, this would be a wonderful, wonderful hands-on demo of what Perl can and does do.
Is there a detailed technical write up on your blog, on how you did this in Perl? Is the code open-source, so I can show them with examples...etc?

I agree. At least it takes "one" of the things out of the equation.

> The sad thing is, any one of them could have netted my loyalty and at a cheaper price overall if they were savvy at recruiting
I just want to mention here, that he did say that he would have had a sense of loyalty towards employers, had he been treated differently by one (to that effect at least).

+1 for mentioning them. I have used paternosters, and I don't consider these dangerous at all. Paternosters are G.R.E.A.T fun :)
I am very aware that this type of response is anecdotal, and has a tendency to degenerate quickly into "he said, she said" style of tangents, but can we please stop calling these things "dangerous" every time they are mentioned anywhere?
I have also used old school trams that you hop on and off of, and I was a wee little kid back then and had to hop in and out, holding my father's hands. Those experience always felt more fun to me than dangerous.

I had mentioned that I do use orgmode, along with few others. But, my comment was further below yours, and was more of a "postscript". I definitely use it for most of my technical note taking, as it is part of my emacs workflow. For casual note taking I ended up using the other apps, to vary my workflow pattern and tool usage.

I came across it after I started using keepnote. Since I was already invested in the above three, I didn't bother too much with it. So, sorry that I am not too much of a help in this matter.

I like to store my data locally, so that influences the choice of my note taking software.
I use cintanotes portable myself... http://portableapps.com/apps/office/cintanotes-portable It is not "opensource", but it has been most useful for keeping notes, tagging, and categorising
I also use http://portableapps.com/apps/office/keepnote-portable (http://keepnote.org/) which is FOSS and also http://portableapps.com/apps/office/rednotebook_portable (http://rednotebook.sourceforge.net/) which is also FOSS.
Choose which ever you feel comfortable using.
P.S: I am also a very big fan of the portableapps format and the platform. Big shout out to John T Haller for all his hard work on this!
P.P.S: I also use the org mode at times http://orgmode.org/ :)

I agree with your point on the very clumsy SSH tack-on take up with this approach.
About the older utilities, again, I completely agree. But, the way to create the mx3 bundles is easy. Actually, on the website/forums, several users there have been a few 3rd party utilities of the same. The format is transparent for anyone to create their own set of utilities on top of what mobs provides.

Hmm, Have you looked at http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ before. I found this less of a hassle to install and work with, than cygwin.
Comment · 11 years ago
This looks like an interesting project to keep an eye out for. On the topic of cygwin, I would also like to recommend mobaXterm, that I use instead of cygwin nowadays... It is an interesting choice in the alternatives we have. So, those of you that use cygwin, take a look at it here: http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/
If you are thinking about trying cygwin, I would recommend this instead, as the installation is relatively easier when compared to cygwin. (I have no affiliation to mobaxterm)
Another new indispensible tool for me is cmder, which leverages ConEmu, clink and mysysgit to provide a wonderful UX in the commandline for me - just brilliant. Here: http://bliker.github.io/cmder/
Memo to self: Spend the next 4 months learning powershell during lunch breaks!

This is so sad. This is the third time I hear of extremely gifted people that I know of, killed by road accident/hit and run.
Growing up, I used to hear cassettes of Jon Higgins (musician) and was impressed at his dedication to his craft. Upon asking my father, why we didn't have any new cassettes of his, I was told he was killed in a road accident.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_B._Higgins !Gutted!
Then, I was exposed to UNIX, and fell in love with it. Loved the man pages, tried to figure out how the man pages are created, got into the History of it.... and discovered that the original developer of the roff tool, Joe Osanna, was also killed by road accident. !Gutted!
Now, gutted again! :(
I sincerely wish that his family and near and dear ones are provided with the strength to handle this utterly painful situation that they are forced to face, all of a sudden!

This whole init vs systemd has been a very divisive (and ongoing) debate, and both sides feel very strongly on their particular stance. Just look up the pages that come up for a "init vs systemd" search on the net.
From what I see on the devuan page, in the spirit of FOSS, the people that prefer to keep init as part of their setup, have forked debian into devuan, and propose to retain the "init based debian", for people that prefer init scripts.
That's the shortest summary I could come up with for you.
Another short writeup by @tinco https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9094142
Not only is that an oversimplification, but it is also plain wrong at so many levels (but it is the lie that has been spun for a long time now). Successive govts. helmed by a certain sell out (Indian) political party had systematically worked against Indian interests by not only not challenging this false narrative, but actually tacitly endorsing it, until recently. Embarrasingly, people like Tulsi Gabbard have been more sympathetic and supporting of the facts behind the incidents, and calling out the false media spin. But this support has led to India waking up and becoming more assertive in calling out lies and facing more facts on the table for all to see.. See this latest video from Tom Lantos meeting:

Edit: should read sell out Indian political party
