There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.

What are these, I wonder? Something along the lines of changing the prompt to always display [litigious@bastards]$, perhaps?

Yeah, Bash 3.0 is great and all, but when are the bash people going to upgrade rbash? Man, I can't do anything with that shell!

This is so going to suck. If I get an error message that I'm unfamiliar with I'll plug it into google. Even if the hit is in a language I don't understand I can usually work out what a solution to my problem may be by looking at the command sequences posted in replies.
Now I'll lose that ability just because a bunch of whiners (the rest of the world) want error messages in *their* language. That's just not fair, as it doesn't benefit me.
I propose an immediate reversal of the i18n changes introduced into Bash 3.0. Who's with my jingoistic ass?

Zenity lets you display Gtk+ dialog boxes from the command line and through shell scripts. It is similar to gdialog, but is intended to be saner. It comes from the same family as dialog, Xdialog, and cdialog, but it surpasses those projects by having a cooler name.

As part of the deal with Apple making fixes they need to get Bash to version 10 ASAP for Bash X marketing.
"I was writing a command string in the bash shell, and it was, like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, and then, like, half of my grep string was gone. And I was, like ... huh? It devoured my regex pattern. It was a really good pattern. And then I had to do it again and I had to do it fast so it wasn't as good. It's kind of a bummer."
