@Seth For simple tasks like launching a program with a long string of arguments, yes. I won't argue. It's easy to get a script that does something basic up and running quickly.
@Seth here's the thing , though, grep and sed are external commands. If you're doing everything purely with built-ins and variables and expansions, it can be PITA. And once you get into 10,000 line range . . . boy, them while loops in bash are going to slow down dramatically
@Seth in my defense, at that time I didn't know any better, because Bash and C were the only things I knew, but I also didn't know C enough to write something complex for unity desktop
Now, with the power of Python and (soon) Perl , and couple other languages, I shall take over tha world and rule as benevolent tyrant whose only concerns are 1) Linux and 2) noodles . . .
I want that in my life right meow . . . with some hot sauce . . . and maybe a couple cloves of garlic . . .and a nice slice of fresh bread . . . GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I admit to being unclear on the details of that statement when it comes to light. This whole both a wave and a particle thing makes my head hurt.
But, either way, even if we posit that heat requires mass, that would suggest that the absence of mass implies the absence of heat and, therefore, that deep space is indeed pretty cold.
@Seth Not quite there, no. Temperature is measured by particles (quicksilver in a thermometer for example) interacting with energy. Very often in the form of electromagnetic radiation and that, I am told, is both a particle and a wave.
But that's the crux of the matter. Since we can't measure temperature without inserting matter (or can we? Some sort of spectrometry is probably possible) can we actually say that a system with no matter is cold?
I feel we can, but it seems more complex than my original, flippant reply to @NathanOsman would suggest.
Yeah, scratch that, of course we can measure temperature remotely using emission spectra. Therefore, we can measure the temperature of deep space (which is ~2K on average) and therefore we can indeed claim that space is cold.
@terdon yeah you're right. Because temperature is rather the measure of the energy that exists with the potential to interact with matter, not the interaction itself. If I'm thinking this through correctly.
Well what can I say, I am a broke ukrainian engineering student who's aspiring to go back to China . . . in other words, i ain't got money for a better monitor
I found a small bug in my ayatana indicator, quickly committed to git, but i think i should traverse my whole function that makes the menu and check for possible exceptions
@WinEunuuchs2Unix yeah, that one was quite interesting. Once I realized it was sigterm, i started writing. Too bad it was answered in the comments, but i actually provided a fully documented and properly chewed solution
@NathanOsman I looked at trickle and trickled two nights ago and got a headache. Plus I don't really feel like installing it, configuring it and testing it... it's quite involved :/

This is the second time I asking for this to be done at your database. Or if you can explain me how to do it, i'll do it myself.
Many Thanks
