Well, a life is okay, but in order to deal with the wide range of stuff that ends up happening to you when you start to use it, and especially as you grow more experienced and have a better sense of what it is you're trying to do in general, you'll need to start using proclife, which lets you presort many of the crazy things you can get in a life.

Sadly, life doesn't seem to have a very reliable history scheme, so it's challenging when you have to keep doing the same thing over and over, and beyond that, there is no grep, no standard format, and what's worst, you can't hit the tab key and have it fill in the remainder of what you were just saying. Really kind of a drag. No find either, and asking things like "which" doesn't always return what you'd hope.

Depending on what kind of life you get, though, you might be able to get decent process accounting going, and in some cases logging is really quite detailed. Whether or not this is an advantage is left as an exercise to the reader.

About JokeTribe


These all are jokes that we've had the good fortune of having other people email to us or we've retrieved off the Internet. Over time, we've sent them on to the subscribers of our various jokes lists. Since we're talking some ten years of managing these emails lists, we've built up a pretty sizeable (and FUNNY) collection of jokes. They cover pretty much any category and topic that you can imagine; from clean jokes to dirty jokes and most everything in between, including the much loved lawyer jokes and the blonde jokes and the yo mama jokes as well as those redneck jokes. Remember, we did NOT author them, but we did take the time to convert the text files to html.

If you are certain of the authorship of any of these, email us the author's name along with relevant information on how we can verify that they truly are the author so we can give them the credit that they deserve.

 

Why we switched to Firefox

 

We've all heard the stories. Stories about innocently searching the internet with Internet Explorer when, all of a sudden, all the alarms are going off with your virus scanner. Programs are installing themselves. Warnings about Smitfraud-C, SpyAxe, and Vcodec are popping up on your screen.

And some of us have had firsthand experience. Firsthand experience that has led us away from IE and to other browsers like Firefox.

And why is that? Well, virus writers are generally going to be trying to get the most bang for their buck, ,just like everyone else. That's why. And IE currently provides them with that. It still has the largest market share, likely due in large part that it comes preinstalled on most computers.

But just because it's preinstalled doesn't mean you have to use it and expose yourself to all the spyware and virii targetted to it. You can do what an ever growing portion of users out there are doing. You can switch to
