If run outside of Linux containers, these arguments are parsed from /proc/cmdline instead.

Re. "Can you afford to not know Git any longer?"

Re. http://www.bluetrainsoftware.com/2012/03/can-you-afford-to-not-know-git-any.html
Well said.
The videos (longish at an hour each or so, worthwhile IMO) of Google Talks by Linus Torvalds and Randal L. Schwartz are great for explaining the rationale behind GIT and its development.
They may even provide sufficient motivation for people to dive in. Pushed me over the edge ;-)

A couple of my Web Pet Peeves...

Grrr! ...

1) Sites that show precisely nothing until you unblock JavaScript - I'm looking at you, http://www.attitudeiseverything.com/ !

2) Links that when middle-clicked (Linux), hijack the current page rather than opening a new one. If I *wanted* to lose the current page, I would have left-clicked - Duhhh!

Anyone else annoyed by these behaviours? - Comments please!

Chuck Lorre Vanity Cards - Warning: May make you think!

Ever watched "Dharma and Greg" (where I first noticed these) or other Chuck Lorre productions (Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory,...) and got frustrated because the 2-second flashed message at the end was too short to read?
Ever thought "I'm going to record that and freeze-frame it so I can read it"?
Someone's saved you the trouble:

Enjoy!
And thanks, Chuck :)
Big, Big Bang fan :)
