We’re trying to figure out who this inflatable crime scene is meant for. With its puffy cuteness, built in lights, and “castle” style walls, it looks like it would be a perfect entrance to a backyard Halloween party for kids. But with its “crime scene noises” and someone-is-being-murdered vibe, it seems more appropriate at a celebration for short police academy graduates. Either way, it can be yours for $125 and a relinquishing of any sense of good taste. (via Walmart: This Inflatable Walmart Decoration Is Adorable. And A Murder Scene!

2 days agoA new study on the “Happiness Index” polled 8,500 Australians aged 18-64, and it found that for men, they were happiest while on the internet.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is vetoing a bill to fine motorists $35 for sharing the driver’s seat with lapdogs or other animals.
Republican Assemblyman Bill Maze says the practice is distracting. He introduced the bill after seeing a woman driving with three dogs on her lap.
Schwarzenegger says he’s signing only bills that are “the highest priority for California.” And a lapdog ban isn’t one of them.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is asking the ice cream maker to begin using breast milk in its products instead of cow’s milk, saying it would reduce the suffering of cows and calves and give ice cream lovers a healthier product.

If you’re trying to fix a problem, you might want to capture the output of a command for reproduction on a website forum, along with the command you typed to get the results. If you’re working in a terminal window, you can cut and paste, but what if you’re working at a virtual console? If you simply want to capture the result of a command, just redirect the output:
ls > output.txt 2>&1
This will send both the output and error output (if any) of the ls command to output.txt.
