There are three types of homosexuals:
a) those who have AIDS
b) those who will get AIDS
c) those who will get die before they get a chance to get AIDS.

Have you actually used Windows? You can do practically anything from the

I'd like to see a few examples of what you can do with bash without using
any other programs. Out of a natural curiousity and a desire to learn. Of
course, you do seem to enjoy "teaching people a lesson", so this should be
fun for you :)

Exactly - like I say, your shell is mostly limited by the tools you can use
in it.

Subject: [ANN] The static error analyser Wasp 3.0 is released for Linux.
Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2001 16:12:54 +0700
SUBJECT
The static error analyser Wasp 3.0 is released for Linux.
URL
http://www.waspsoft.com/
WHAT IS NEW IN Wasp 3.0
- This is the first Wasp version for Linux.
Previous Wasp versions were released for Windows 95/NT, OS/2,
and SunSparc for Java and Modula-2 programs.
- Wasp 3.0 for Java is an order of magnitude faster
than previous Wasp version 2.11.
Memory consumption reduced by a factor of 5.
- User interface simplified.
Wasp manual considerably extended and modified.
- Wasp strategy for big programs developed.
- Wasp now can use memory above 930Mb limit (or brk limit)
- Support for files more than 2Gb added for kernels which support
LFS interface (2.3.x, 2.4.x, 2.2.x with LFS patches, SuSE,
RedHat Enterprise Edition).
WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT
Wasp 3.0 for Windows 98/NT/2000 will be released shortly.
DESCRIPTION
The static error checker Wasp employs powerful data flow analysis
to detect subtle run-time errors and weak points in Java, Modula-2,
and Oberon-2 programs.
Some types of erroneous situations that Wasp is able to detect
in Java programs are listed below:
- usage of an uninitialised variable
- null pointer exception
- assignment of a variable whose value is never used
- impermissible cast of variable value of reference type
- unreachable branches in the if and switch statements and
in conditional expressions
- unreachable catch clauses
- method has no normal completion
- array index is out of bounds
- overflow (underflow) in arithmetic operators
- division by zero
- for or while statement repeats zero times
- etc.
For more information, please visit Wasp Home Page at:
http://www.waspsoft.com/
Lite version of Wasp 3.0 may be downloaded.

The fight is certainly important, and the USA has definitely helped improve
the world in some areas. But it has also made some incredible mistakes, and
shown an arrogance that astounds even seasoned a.d.m.'ers. The US has
annointed itself big brother and policeman to the world - sometimes other
countries ask for help, and sometimes they get it. But they also have a
habit of butting in where they are not invited, and causing more harm than
good. I suppose most countries are like that - it is just that with the US
being the biggest (in terms of power), its actions speak the loudest, and it
is the US who should be taking leadership in showing the rest of the world
how to play fair, rather than being the schoolyard bully.
