WiFi and calls work simultaneously, it's only 2G/3G data that's affected.

I think that yesiamahuman meant the hotspot tethering functionality by 'WiFi.'

It seems that a bunch of bloggers received pre-release Verizon iPhones for review. It's probably because expectations have already been set for the iPhone 4 and Apple doesn't need to worry about reviews negatively affecting initial sales.

It's not often that you see two reviews for essentially identical products from the same source. This was a pretty smart move by Apple.

You don't need to be present when UPS/FedEx delivers if you've signed a release and authorize them to leave packages at your doorstep though this is not true for all types of shipments. If you live in a bad neighborhood or if the shipper specifically requests a signature then they won't leave it at your door.

Yes, but it's been abandoned since 2002.

So you're welcome to have it.

woops, Sorry about that! I wonder how it got through HN's filter.

The core team is two guys, but they hired/contracted additional people to help with QA/porting:

    - Allan Blomquist (Wii port)
    - Paul Hubans (QA and Production associate)
    - Maks Verver (Linux port)

It's "charcoal black" from the emacs color theme package.

You need to use single quotes. !, $, `, \ are expanded inside of double quotes.

I know about variable and command substitution and escaping, it makes sense that those expand inside " but not ' - but history expansion, something seemingly inherent to the interactive REPL, seems out of place here.

I understand your comment. Intuitively I agree with you but in the context of one of the original devs writing bash it would make no sense to tie the history command to the interactive REPL. Treating everything the same would lead to less bugs in "their" system while leaving a caveat for all the userland script writers.

There is no difference between a script and the REPL.

Besides, you'd expect variables to be expanded inside normal strings -- why special-case the other expansions?

I'd expect them to be handled in the same "phase" as alias expansions. See here for one example of hackery with aliases, that take advantage of their different expansion phase:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/aliases.html

Special characters are substituted in double quotes. They're treated as literals in single quotes.

Seems pretty consistent to me.

Aliases are handled differently though, before e.g. file glob expansion. I would have expected history to be handled similarly.

    iPhone1,2_ = 3G

    iPhone2,1_ = 3G S
