come on, how could you use anything else than perl:

perl -n -E'say $_ * $.' nb.txt > new_nb.txt

one-liner: check, use of funky special variables: check, code under 10 characters (by removing the optional spaces around the *): check, duck and wait for the "but it's just line noise" crowd: check. ;-)

It's funny, as I was reading the article, I tried to list the companies that make money in the Proprietary Software business, and really, I could only find 2 major ones, Microsoft and Oracle. And I am not even sure about Oracle. The others companies in the field seem to makes more money from consulting or services, like a good open source business should ;--)

This post doesn't display properly, it shows the markdown source code instead of the formatted version. Maybe it's due to the transition from MT to your own system?
