0b4978b4ea An aggressive little script I used to trim out duplicate fortunes. 2005-02-07 21:15:16 +00:00
Ruslan Ermilov
6325a5d282 Trim more cookies, by playing with different hash functions, 
e.g., by trimming all non-alphabet characters and whitespace,
converting to lowercase, and considering only first (or last)
N letters (maybe only consonants).  The fortune editor then
displays all fortunes that have the same hash, and allows to
remove one of them.  The rest is written to stdout.

1269b8ed60 Fix bugs. 
Due to one of the bugs (^C was the first character of each line
when sorting), the -b option of sort(1) didn't take any effect,
so stay bug-compatible, and remove the -b option.

Transcription of the Bell Communications Research Colloquium Seminar

        There are wavelengths that people cannot see, there are
sounds that people cannot hear, and maybe computers have thoughts
that people cannot think.

name to make him appear more statesmanlike. Therefore it's not usually punctuated.

"Ukulele" is the canonical term, with "ukelele" being a derivation.
Also there is some evidence that the original appearance of the quote
had the spelling "ukulele", although anyone who has a copy of Esquire
from March 1967 is welcome to prove me wrong.
