Meh. I've just seen some code that literally makes me feel sick.

@heeed Ah yes, but your branch of the family are never mentioned by mine after that business with the lion in 1892.

@methoddan !lo Dear Sir, I come from generations of the Poker-Bonus family (old Dorset stock) and I resent your implications! Yours etc..

@eightyeight In other words stealing features and backwards compatibility == wierdness. cf. Windows ;)

@eightyeight My friend sez it's cos \x gives \x if x is not special. When bash tool csh's history expansion \! kept previous output. #bash

John Carlyle-Clarke Aaron Toponce

@eightyeight just for extra fun echo Bash sucks! (with no quotes) works because whitespace after ! disabled history. #bash

John Carlyle-Clarke Aaron Toponce

@eightyeight yeah, it's quirky. usually that stuff comes when #bash steals features from other shells which leads to syntax warts.

John Carlyle-Clarke Aaron Toponce

@eightyeight 'history expansion will be performed unless an ! appearing in "" is escaped using a \. The \ preceding the ! is not removed.'

John Carlyle-Clarke Linux , Aaron Toponce

@eightyeight 1st is cos ! is history character. Second because "man bash" says so :) echo 'Bash sucks!' to get what you want. !linux #bash

@qwc I used Archbang (based on !arch, styled on Crunchbang !linux) as a rescue CD but it's so nice i'm tempted to install it. Check it out!
