finding duplicate files with different letter case in linux
When dealing with files on *nix, there is rarley the need for concern of dupliacte file names with different letter case. But, when you are in Windows, you do need to be concerned. This all boils down to what file system you use. And I used this command when I needed to find out an error message in subversion that complains about unable to copy a file when checking files out from subversion repository on Windows:
(fyi, I used this command on Linux to find the duplicate)
(another fyi, this does not work on OS X)
find . -type f -printf "'%p'\n" | sort -n | uniq -Di
Grow your own fresh air
What a great idea! I would like to try this at home. Perhaps make a room dedicated to growing these plants outside and then capturing the oxygen via vents and fans.
The three plants you need are:
| common name | name | botanical name | per person | maintenance | function | cost per person |
| the living room
plant |
areca palm | chrysalidocarpus
lutescens |
4 | wipe leaves daily,
take them out doors 3-4 months |
||
| the bedroom
plant |
mother-in-law's tongue | sansevierio
trifasciata |
6-8 waist height | converts oxygen at night | ||
| the specialist
plant |
money plan | epipremnum
aureum |
1 | removes some volatile chemicals |
