** Replace the ... in URLS with: www.census.gov/genealogy/www/data/1990surnames Couldn't fit in 256 Created on Ubuntu 9.10 but nothing out of the ordinary, should work anywhere with a little tweaking. 5163 is the number of unique first names you get when combine the male and female first name files from. http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/data/1990surnames/names_files.html Show Sample Output

i wanted to delete all duplicate lines from .bash_history and keep the order of the other lines. the command cat's the file and adds line numbers, then sorts by the second column. afterwards uniq omits repeated lines, but skips the first field (the line number). then it sorts by the line numbers and at the end cuts the numbers off.
4cat -n <file> | sort -k 2 | uniq -f 1 | sort -n | cut -f 2- -
0tcpdump -i any -n tcp[13] == 2

Might be able to do it in less steps with xmlstarlet, although whether that would end up being shorter overall I don't know - xmlstarlet syntax confuses the heck out of me. Prompts for your password, or if you're a bit mental you can add your password into the command itself in the format "-u user:password". Show Sample Output
0curl -u <username> http://app.boxee.tv/api/get_queue | xml2 | grep /boxeefeed/message/description | awk -F= '{print $2}' -
This command will play back each keystroke in a session log recorded using the script command. You'll need to replace the ^[ ^G and ^M characters with CTRL-[, CTRL-G and CTRL-M. To do this you need to press CTRL-V CTRL-[ or CTRL-V CTRL-G or CTRL-V CTRL-M. You can adjust the playback typing speed by modifying the sleep. If you're not bothered about seeing each keypress then you could just use:
cat session.logShow Sample Output0(IFS=; sed 's/^[]0;[^^G]*^G/^M/g' <SessionLog> | while read -n 1 ITEM; do [ "$ITEM" = "^M" ] && ITEM=$'\n'; echo -ne "$ITEM"; sleep 0.05; done; echo) -
Print out the contents of $VARIABLE, six words per line, ignoring any single or double quotes in the text. Useful when $VARIABLE contains a sentence that changes periodically, and may or may not contain quoted text.

The only zipped version of an album available for download is the lossy mp3 version. To download lossless files, because of their size, you must download them individually. This command scrapes the page for all the FLAC (or also SHN) files.
1wget -rc -A.flac --tries=5 http://archive.org/the/url/of/the/album -
That way, you can make a mix on the fly with the mp3 files in the current directory to make a bunch mp3 file.
0sox *.mp3 -t wavpcm - | lame - > bunch.mp3 -
4renice +5 -p $(pidof <process name>)

This may seem like a long command, but it is great for making sure all file permissions are kept in tact. What it is doing is streaming the files in a sub-shell and then untarring them in the target directory. Please note that the -z command should not be used for local files and no perfomance increase will be visible as overhead processing (CPU) will be evident, and will slow down the copy. You also may keep simple with, but you don't have the progress info:
cp -rpf /some/directory /other/pathShow Sample Output-2dir='path to file'; tar cpf - "$dir" | pv -s $(du -sb "$dir" | awk '{print $1}') | tar xpf - -C /other/path -
Converts Unix epoch time to localtime. Useful for any logs that only display epoch time. Show Sample Output

You set the file/dirname transfer variable, in the end point you set the path destination, this command uses pipe view to show progress, compress the file outut and takes account to change the ssh cipher. Support dirnames with spaces.
