In the Unix environment, you may often write Java, Python, and Shell, all in a day's work on one project.


And that would be two general purpose programming languages :)


Shell is general purpose (perhaps even more so than Java or Python), when you look at it from the perspective that programs are simply functions you call and get a result from, or which perform additional computation.

So, SF should cost more, since it's more desirable, and push people to poor ignored Cleveland to balance out the pressure.


The place with all the beautiful trees costs more, so lets build more housing there, cutting down the trees while doing so.

Same idea: You will lose the character without some sort of effort to not.


This is why you don't run your computer using the default UI theme on the most popular OS.


Yeah exactly. I always set my theme to the most minimal, "classic", non-effects, whatever options I can turn off. That way this kind of stuff really stands out.
