And some companies are trying to buy patents and keep them, so that nobody else can use the ideas. It’s getting pretty bad :o(

Nicely exposed. A few years ago, a Sri Lankan newspaper reported an article that allegedly claims “Soya bean products decrease fertility rate of females.” Apparently the writer was paid by a meat product maker who lost sales due to mock meat made from soybean.

Well, one just has to look at China, where soybean originally comes from, to explain this claim :-p

There is a site that specializes in these sorts of cartoony depictions:

Quite funny and often disturbing.

Comment on Averaging text files with bash and awk by Claus

Oh my. Thanks for the comment Pat! Good thing I did not publish these results yet :-). That’s what I get for trying to hammers voodoo recipes without fully understanding them.

There is another error in the above code. Calling “$ ./average.sh filename.*” will expand to the first file name, which will average a single file. You need to put “filename.*” in “” in order to prevent it from expanding until it enters the script.

Fixing now.

Comment on Sleep Patterns by Claus

I guess… still the main question remains. If we sleep very little, like 4 hours, and then we stay awake for about two hours, should we go sleep to “finish” sleeping? Or it doesn’t make a difference anymore?

Does finding a bug get bonus points? You actually want to pass fld to awk as well (say -v fld=”$fld”) and then do

ta=f+i*fld

instead of ta=f. Right now tta is just adding the ‘f’th entry s times and dividing it by s, giving back the ‘f’th entry.
