Speaking of recoverys, you reminded me that I really need get an external
HDD that is at least 500GB for backups. I used to never back anything

Brilliant!
I kneel down before you my thaine
(And I feel stupid I hadn't used a regexp in a regexp emplacement ;D)
just for fun, here's another golf girl:
# blkid -s TYPE| gawk '$2="";$1=$1' FS='[ "]'
but if you find another short one I guess you'd better fu2 c.l.a.  |
