Still can be simplified with s/echo/sed/ if you cheat with an input file :)

IIRC I use something that could be translated to:
$ function math { sed "{s|^.*|scale=2; $*|; s|x|*|g; s|,||g;q;}" /proc/uptime | bc -l; }

As always, there is a bunch of ways of skin the cat with shell commands.

My opinion is like the parent's, I really can't stand the lack of vertical alignment, same length text should display in same width.
This code should have the same width no matter what:
arrayOne[1010] = 'lll'
arrayTwo[1010] = '111'

I personally use DeJavu Sans Mono, on all OSes. The (0,O) and (1,l) distinctions are very clear to me, and I like the curves it have.

I actually had to put it on my pendrive, along with gVim portable, as I will not stand notepad with his blocky console font.

Mine showed just four slashdot favicons in a square...
Should I start to go on other web2.0 websites? :)

Here goes... If *I* know how to add a scheduled task to windows scheduler at install time (when I have the god-admin-rights) - how google does not? Oh yes, it knows... but it does not want it to be simple. Do no evil. I always put a (unchecked) .CMD file backup task to the whathever-install that I make. Could not google do the same? Yes.
