Makefile,pipes,awk,shell assignment, and $$1, oh my...

...That wasn't it, as it turned out.  The problem was in the awk statement.

Instead of:

     awk '{print $1}'

I had to use:

     awk '{print $$1}'    


This is necessary because $1 is a *make* variable but $$1 is the awk variable I wanted ($1)....

D'uh ....

Plugging away: Army blocks Guardian website in wake of NSA spying reports; Stuxnet leak probe

Posted on Friday June 28, 2013
File this under “F” for futile: The Army is restricting access to the Guardian website to try to crack down on leaks, theMonterey County Herald reports. The Guardian was the first to write about the extent of the National Security Agency’s surveillance program earlier this month, and it reported details about a separate spying program yesterday. The Guardian’s reports are based on classified documents leaked by former government tech contractor Edward Snowden, who is now wanted by U.S. authorities.

Best practices for helping parents with computers when you're out-of-state, Connie's opinion

1) Buy or get your parents to buy a laptop that will fit in the longer of the 2 "medium" USPS priority mail boxes, leaving a little room for protective wrapping (costs about $11 to ship and the computers tend to survive the experience)
2) Obtain the computer long enough to install free virus scanning like MSE if it's a PC, and be sure to install LogMeIn, keep a log of all the passwords you use for LogMeIn (there is one for the account and one for each computer), and to do any other setup (OpenOffice is usually handy).
3) Setup cloud backup of documents and desktop using DropBox or SugarSync or something (parents often only need the free service), again keep the passwords.
3) Ship it back, and when you get that phone call about the non-working computer/bad browser behavior/question about whether recommended updates are real or viruses, use LogMein if the machine boots, which will let you see everything that is happening on the screen, or do it yourself!
If it will not boot/let them login, get them to ship it back to you for further brain surgery...   ;-)

And so on and so on...

Heisenberg and Schrodinger are on a road trip, when a cop pulls them over. The officer walks up and asks if they know how fast they’re going.


It's hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally.

Jean-Paul Sartre is sitting at a French cafe, revising his draft of Being and Nothingness. He says to the waitress, "I'd like a cup of coffee, please, with no cream." The waitress replies, "I'm sorry, Monsieur, but we're out of cream. How about with no milk?"

Werner Heisenberg, Kurt Gödel, and Noam Chomsky walk into a bar. Heisenberg turns to the other two and says, "Clearly this is a joke, but how can we figure out if it's funny or not?" Gödel replies, "We can't know that because we're inside the joke." Chomsky says, "Of course it's funny. You're just telling it wrong."

Heisenberg and Schrodinger are on a road trip, when a cop pulls them over. The officer walks up and asks if they know how fast they're going. Heisenberg replies that they do not, but know with high precision where they are. The cop thinks that's weird, and begins to search the vehicle. He opens the trunk and asks, "did you know you've got a dead cat in the trunk?" Schrodinger says, "well, *now* we do."
