You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can I pick the brain of someone with good Unix shell knowledge?

What would be the command to list recursively all the files of a directory, along with the complete path? Like what you get with

ls -R
but with the path and filename, and (ideally) without the blank lines and lines that just name a directory?

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

find `pwd` -print

Will print out the file and directory names. Note the backquotes.

find `pwd` -type f -print

Will print out just the regular files.

find . -type f -print

Will print the pathnames relative to the current directory.

Thrive to spite them

I'm getting a new monitor for Christmas, is there a big difference between brands or is one just as good as another? Right now I have a 15" CRT monitor and I'm looking at getting a 19" LCD.

OK, what's the good AIM-type program for windows? Need something on my work computer here, but can't remember what the preferred program is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like Trillian.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

when in Windows, I second Trillian. Good multi-chat.

Awesome, thanks--I've used Trillian before, I just haven't had a PC in so long, I only remember Adium for my Mac! Have it now, yay.

Hey. New board.

I have heard a lot of good things about Miranda for Windows IMing too. Not that I've tried it.
