What GOP strategists really think of Palin

Wednesday at 6:44 pm - Link

Los Angeles-based Republican consultant Mike Murphy calls the choice of Sarah Palin "cynical" and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan says the neophyte's pick means the "race is over." They had finished speaking more carefully on MSNBC and didn't realize their microphones were still live. The audio is on YouTube; I found it via Top of the Ticket. Murphy has worked for McCain and Mitt Romney, among others. - Robert Konigsberg

“Finally learning about 'screen'. I was referred to a nice tutorial at http://php.mandelson.org/wordp...”

Screen is awesome. One tip, use 'screen -x' to join a session that is already attached to another terminal. I use this at work with multiple terminal windows. It's the best of both worlds, multiple windows for each screen, but when I'm at home I can still attach to all of them with screen -x. - Allen Hutchison

@Allen, Thanks. How is that different from screen -d? Note also the one thing that tutorial sorely lacks is screen -list. But of course, I found it with a little searching. - Robert Konigsberg

I didn't understand allen's explanation either. However the manpage, for once, is actually quite clear: "attach to a not detached screen session. (Multi display mode)." What you type in one terminal magically appears in another window. - Adewale Oshineye

I use that as my vnc when debugging remote systems with other people. - Elias Torres via fftogo

This means I finally have the ability to start a long-running process at work, go home and then periodically check up on the state of the process without disturbing it. - Adewale Oshineye

screen can be wonderful and frustrating at the same time. But it is an essential tool every developer should learn. - Benjamin Golub via fftogo

@Benjamin I wonder how I missed it after using Unix over 20 years. @Elias how do you do that? At work I rely heavily on remote desktop, which makes more sense since my job is to write Eclipse plug-ins -- day to day I need to see someone's UI. But still, I want to know how to use something more lightweight when the time is right. - Robert Konigsberg

@Robert If you are logging in with same user, you start your own screen. Then you ask the other user to type screen -x. Voila. ASCII remote desktop. - Elias Torres

@Elias, thanks. - Robert Konigsberg
