The Linux subreddit wasn't any help, so I'm asking here. Does anyone know of a good guide to the unix command line (shortcuts, tricks, tips, etc)? | I know this isn't necessarily programming related, but the response I got on /r/Linux was to switch from Ubuntu to Slackware, even though I didn't mention my distro.
EDIT: The shell is bash. Sorry for not being more specific in the title. |

DAE hate it when public bathroom doors have the handles on the inside? | I like it when the handles are on the outside, so after I wash my hands I can kick/shoulder the door open without touching anything. I'm not a germaphobe. I just think this would be common sense when designing a building's facilities. However, most places I've seen have the handles on the inside. |
I'm a college student looking to financially cut corners.... | Though I am looking for advice, I have one tip of my own that consistently saves me at least $30 a month.
Note: I'm sure advice like this has been posted on Reddit before, I do not claim that this method is original.

I need good scifi...I think I have seen everything but please prove me wrong. | Here is a list of recent sci-fi that I have seen off the top of my head. Moon, District 9, Iron man, Star Trek, Surrogates, Primer, Pandorum, and some others. I am using the term sci-fi loosely because if I didn't then I would have nothing to watch. I gave you a very incomplete list, but I hope to hear about new films ... |
Meanwhile, in Germany a majority rejects tax cuts as irresponsible. Germans also think their health care system is OK, and 43% thinks unemployment benefits are too low (POLL) | These results of a new opinion poll in Germany by Infratest Dimap for public broadcaster ARD struck me as interesting, and perhaps also as food for thought for Americans, since the contrasts with US public opinion are noteworthy.
**Tax cuts**
Chart 1 shows the results when respondents were asked, "The government has... |
Google murders thousands of helpless infants and admits they were wrong. Why can't other companies be so honest? | I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I THINK GOOGLE DID THE RIGHT THING BY MURDERING THOSE HELPLESS CHILDREN AND THEN OWNING UP TO THE FACT THAT IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE BEST THING TO DO.
I HOPE THAT ONE DAY OTHER LARGE CORPORATIONS WILL ADOPT GOOGLE'S POLICY OF HAVING THE GUTS TO ADMIT WHEN THEY'RE WRONG ABOUT INFANTICIDE.
LOL, ... |
