less and more seem to have very similar functionality in that they both page through text a screen at a time.  What reasons are there to use one over the other?

When I do more filename and less filename, it would seem that the resulting terminals are quite similar. I can navigate and search through my files identically (j, Space, /pattern, etc.).  I find it hard to believe that less is more and vice versa. Are there any differences between the two?

While in vim I can write a range of lines from the file I'm viewing to another file.  For example,  :1,10 w outfile.txt   will write lines 1 through 10 to outfile.txt.  Can I do the same while I'm viewing a file using less?

I would like to open 4 Notepad++ windows at once, in the same pannel. Currently, I am only able to split it into two, and would like to know if there is a plugin that enables 4 views at at same time, or 3.   thanks

and  both appear to be based around  and its syntax. Is there a difference? What makes one better than the other?

In the comments section of , I asked for a clarification of these points. The clarification has mostly been made, but it was requested that I turn this into a question to provide for more room for this question to be fielded.  So here it is:  Please explain the difference between \emph and \textit. When should they be used, respectively?

According to , less reads navigation commands from stderr if it's not able to open /dev/tty.  This seems puzzling, since I've never seen anything write to another program's stderr stream, and I don't know how I would even accomplish that.  What is the purpose of stderr being open for both reading and writing? And if this is useful, how do I make use of it on modern systems? (Is there some arcane syntax to pipe something into stderr instead of stdin, for instance?)

As the question states... In Windows 7 with a single screen, you can drag a window to the right and a window to the left to maximize them both at half the screen, letting you quickly and neatly see two windows simultaneously.  If I have 2 monitors, is there a way to do this with 4 windows, where each monitor gets 2 windows split across each screen?

Do you know a good way to compare PDF files side-by-side and show the modifications between the two?  I'm looking for Windows software to accomplish this. It would be great if you can post both free and not-free products.

I know , but wouldn't they be better without the horizontal scroll bars?   Sort of related to . (The consensus seemed to be that people were lazy or didn't notice. But there are still some legitimate reasons to have lines over 80 chars or so.)

I have my paging file turned off in Vista as i have heard that it is not needed and in some cases may slow down a system that has >=2GB RAM. (no sure how true this is, but i notice that having it switched off doesn't really impact performance noticeably.  I have been reading about Readyboost and it sounds like caching with the benefits of flash memory (low latency etc.)  Which of these would i be better off using?  edit: i have 2gb, and have been using the machine without a pagefile today, and haven't noticed much obvious performance degradation, but will take your suggestions on board. would be good if any claims can be backed up please.

As far as I can tell, these two pieces of javascript behave the same way:  Option A:  function myTimeoutFunction() {     doStuff();     setTimeout(myTimeoutFunction, 1000); }  myTimeoutFunction();   Option B:  function myTimeoutFunction() {     doStuff(); }  myTimeoutFunction(); setInterval(myTimeoutFunction, 1000);   Is there any difference between using  and ?

I'm interested to know what would be best the option from a UX perspective. I have a table in which i need to decide if i should edit each row with inline editing where you can click on each item in the row and edit seperately or all at once with a modal popup.

Can less follow (by pressing F) a piped input (similarly to a file)? For a file that is being written to, the command  less &lt;file&gt;   will follow the file when pressing F.  But if I have a command that pipes output directly into less, like this  command | less   pressing F will do nothing.  So it looks like pipes cannot be followed like files can? Or maybe it has to do with command also writing to STDERR? The effect I'm trying to achieve is always see the latest output of the command: just like keeping PageDown pressed!  A related remark holds for G (go to end): when piping directly to less, it won't work.

When I use less at the command line the output is like   but when I use less from within a bash script I get:   How can I use less in a bash script and not get all the escape characters and have it work like it does at the interactive command line?

In chat, when clicking on the "show X more" link to show more recently starred messages, the new entries are added beyond the exiting view and are tucked away under the footer.   The scrollbar is useless in this case since it only scrolls the chat section. So how do I get at the messages?  (See also: . Possibly the same issue but hard to tell based on the information provided)  I can get at the hidden content by enlarging the browser window or zooming out, but considering the number of items initially shown is already scaled based on the available space, I'd expect the "show more" link to indeed show more items irrespective of my screen resolution.  Is this a bug, or am I missing something obvious?

Is either of these considered better/more readable/more "proper"/more conventional than the other for making text bold? If so, what is the reason?  I like my text \textbf{bold}   versus:  I like my text {\bf bold}
