what is *best* to be suggested for each and _every_ user is almost impossible to know so why not leave that part for the user to decide. and when you buy a car would rather hear: - "sir, how fast would you like it to?" - "sir, we have decided that you're not capable of controlling youself going fast so we have decided to give you the optimal speed to drive at. enjoy your dull driver." (i don't even have a driving license so easy on that one) i think i'm asking for a shell that executes what i think is right the moment i think it. short of chip implans what i'm suggesting is the closest we have so far :) you know a better one? lets hear it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put Bad Developers to Shame Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration Continuously Automate Build, Test & Deployment Start a new project now.
