The hosts file is a computer file used to store information on where to find a node on a computer network. This file maps hostnames to IP addresses. The hosts file is used as a supplement to (or instead of) the domain name system on networks of varying sizes. Unlike DNS, the hosts file is under the control of the local computer’s administrator.
Redirecting
A useful and time-saving tip for web site programmers, intra net developers and IT managers is to enable non-standard TLDs on a LAN such as example.local (for accessing Example Company’s Intranet) or sample.new (for a new version of the xmodx.com website during testing).
192.168.1.1 xmodx.local
127.0.0.1 xmodx.new

KRIS: Magandang gabi, mga kapamilya. Sa game show na ito, importante ang sagot sa nag-iisang katanungang, ‘Deal or No Deal?’ Ang ating player ngayong gabi ay walang iba kundi ang fastest-rising household services manager na si Inday!
[Umentra si Inday at nagpalakpakan ang mga tao.]
KRIS: Ok, Inday, choose a briefcase.
INDAY: Kris, I would opt for case #4 please
KRIS: Briefcase # 4… si Sharmel. Inday, matanong ko lang, how did you come up with the number 4?
INDAY: Oh, do you really want to know, Kris?
KRIS: Oo naman. I’m sure, kaya ko namang maintindihan ‘yung sasabihin mo, eh.
INDAY: The number 4 was acquired based on a probability distribution function that involves integrating up to an area greater than or equal to that random number which should be generated between 0 and 1 for proper distributions.
KRIS: Ok, Inday, choose 6 briefcases to open.
INDAY: I would opt for 7, 24, 12, 2, 15 and 20.

Argument list too long when copying/deleting/moving files on Linux
If you do a lot of command line stuff in Linux, sooner or later you’ll come across the “argument list too long” error when copying, moving, deleting, listing etc files in a directory that contains a lot of files. This post looks at a couple of ways of solving this problem.For the tests conducted in this post I created two directories, “source” and “target” and created 20,000 empty text files like so:mkdir source
mkdir target
for i in `seq 1 20000`; do touch source/$i.txt; doneDoing any of these:mv source/* target/
cp source/* target/
rm source/*
ls source/*will result in errors like this:-bash: /bin/mv: Argument list too long
-bash: /bin/cp: Argument list too long
-bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long
-bash: /bin/ls: Argument list too longTo workaround the problem you can use xargs or find, or a combination of the two.
Using the “ls” command, you could..... Read more
