I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

As I said before, that will only print out the number of lines that match, not the number of words.

Your tag here.

D'oh! Yeah, you're right.

Here:

cat * | grep -i "panda" | wc -w

or to go within directories:

grep -ir "panda" * | wc -w

That will count the number of words in lines that have "panda" in them, including all the words that aren't "panda".

Ok, you win... I need more sleep.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Or at least a longtime companda.

Just quickly skimming to catch up on stuff, but....

So I ended up returning the Harmony 880 remote.

Wait, you returned the SEXIEST UNIVERSAL REMOTE IN THE WORLD?

Clearly, ND was talking about this remote in thread, but if he didn't post a picture, and possibly even if he did, it should be said that this remote is so pretty, you will want to have sex with it.

Maybe it's better that he returned it.

Growl. Anyone else having problems with Google dropping everything but the first word in a search string after the first page of results? I'm trying to figure out if this is related to upgrading to Firefox 1.0.6 for OS X.

Hmm. Let me see.

Works for me in Firefox 1.0.6 and OSX 10.3.9

Still having the same problem. I enter a search string into google (say, Red dogs loving), and the first page uses that search string. When I scroll to the bottom, the search field only contains "Red", and a quick mouseover on the numbers confirms that pages 2, 3, 4... of the search are only looking for "Red" and not for "Red dogs loving".

Argh. This is driving me nuts. Same OS as Daniel.
