Comment on Wife 1.0 by nickz

I haven’t seen that one but here’s something similar & IMO funnier:

Dear Technical Support,

18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 4.2,which I
had used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently
conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and
run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.

To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other
applications, such as LadsNightOut 3.1, Football 4.5, and Playboy 6.9.
Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better. I tried a shareware
program, Slapper 2.1, but it had many bugs and left a virus in my system,
forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks.

Eventually, I tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same
time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they
caused severe damage to my hardware. I eventually upgraded to Fiancée 1.0,
only to discover that this product soon had to be upgraded further to Wife
1.0. While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my available resources, it does come
bundled with FreeSexPlus and Cleanhouse 2004.

Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very
unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in
Wife 1.0’s memory and could not be deleted. They then resurfaced months
later when I had forgotten about them. Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary,
Explorer and E-mail filter, and can, without warning, launch TurboStrop and
Whinge. These latter products have no Help files, and I have to try to guess
what the problem is.

Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring
ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be
reinstalled every other week. Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Saab
93 Convertible hard drive, it often crashes. Wife 1.0 also comes with an
irritating pop-up called MotherInLaw, which can’t be turned off.

Recently I’ve been tempted to install Mistress 2005, but there could be
problems. A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0
detects Mistress 2005, it tends to delete all of your Money before
uninstalling itself.

Help requested

Regards,

Comment on Find files and calculate total disk space usage by Juan Martinez

I agree, the “-c” option to the du utility is fantastic. Unfortunately, unless you use the GNU version of du, the “-c” option is not available on most UNIX machines.

That is awesome.
Not as awesome as du having the -c flag (du -sch ), but it is just what I needed.

sounds pretty cool, although google needs to hire someone to review software descriptions because what is posted is not english.

Comment on “cd” My Way In Linux Using Bash Function by Phil Dufault

Phil Dufault — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 23:26:18 +0000

Just thought I’d toss in that there’s no cd binary per se, it’s a shell function builtin.

2ndly, one usually has their PS1 in bash setup to show what PWD they’re in, but I could see a need for this.

Cheers.
