That list is just for .com domains. This Wikipedia entry lists old .com, .org, .edu and .net domains: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_oldest_currently_re...
Also, I found it amusing how much overlap there is between the 50 oldest .edu domains and the US News list of top CS grad programs: http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-gradu...

Without thinking I tried moving the character around using the vi "hjkl" navigation keys, and it works! Mad props for that.

Regarding the heat issue you are having with your laptop: I was having similar problems with a different laptop, and I got an "XPad Slim" (http://www.xpad4laptop.com/) cooling pad to put under it. It weighs around a pound, has no fans, and does a pretty decent job of dispersing heat from the computer. No more burning legs!

Interesting. I didn't realize amazon affiliate links carried such a negative connotation. I'll definitely keep that in mind for future posts and remove a few of the affiliate links from this post.

I doubt I'll make anything. I honestly just posted the article to show how easy it is to upgrade the MBP hard drive. It's my first time messing with Amazon Affiliates, and blogspot has a nice plug-in that makes it really easy to go amazon-link-happy.

Last year a friend taught me about the bash trick "CTRL-R" <start typing 'ssh' or some other previously run command> on the command line for reverse history searching, and it is an amazing time saver. It acts as a great alternative to #8, "Find the last command that begins with “whatever,” but avoid running it"
$ !whatever:p

I learned the basics of Haskell by doing some problems from http://projecteuler.net. It's probably not as exciting as actually building something using the language, but it's definitely worth checking out.
