Change lowercase to uppercase or vice versa using sed the brute force easy way and the smart way. One use of this would be finding the hardware address of an interface and converting it to all uppercase.

Cheatcodes
Cheatcodes are used to pass options to KNOPPIX to help with getting it working on difficult hardware. You type them into the boot screen and press enter/return. The format is “kernel option option option …”. Usually “knoppix” is the right selection for the “kernel”. You can type more than one …

Linode is cheaper than many of the other big names in VPS and they offer plenty of storage and bandwidth too. Monitoring their status page for a few days/weeks should give you a good idea of the kind of downtime you’ll be looking at.

If you tell developers they don’t have to worry about insecure code because a framework will save them you may as well tell them they can avoid exercise and eat all the twinkies they like because there’s a magic pill for that too.

This one should be pretty bulletproof. Use a single sed command to dump the list of all ip addresses from interfaces showing in ifconfig.

You only get so much grid and cpu to work with. Make the most out of your extractors, processors, storage, and links. If you want to make a decent profit working with planets in high sec, go for the T3 products. T4’s are a lot of work shuttling product between planets, and T2 and under just isn’t worth the time.
