All the kids are avoiding FB like the plague. It's literally the most uncool thing to use. And it spreads to the older generations as we speak. Everyone else is just waiting for that wave to reach them, as they hate FB's guts but can't leave yet due to everyone else being there due to GOTO 10. So FB is literally already dead but doesn't know it.

Oh well, at least their willful ignorance will make damn sure that they hit that brick wall at top speed. :,-D

Well, I personally deleted my facebook account back in 2009.

Not just all the kids (!), you know..

Comment openSUSE 11.4 is better (Score 2) 96

haven't tried 12.2 yet and guess I won't:

DID try 12.1 quite a lot and was terribly disappointed.

Reformated harddrive and reinstalled 11.4 - and HAPPY!

WHY?

11.4 has GNOME 2 - Now THAT's a GREAT UI.

(At least when seeing the alternatives)

Or just by file size first, then do a hash. No need to compute a hash to compare a 1mb file and a 1kb file.

thats exactly right.

Some time ago (years?) I came across a little book called "wicked cool perl scripts" (do a google shure you find it..) In one of the first chapters there is a script that does exactly what you describe (dupfiles.pl if I remember right):

To find duplicate files it goes down the directory hierarchy, sorts the files by size and does a md5sum comparison of files with similar size.

I tried it out once in awhile and it always worked out very well for me.

The scripts themselves can be downloaded from the publishers website. Have a look if your interested -

(btw. I do not have any commercial interests in this recommendation..)
