Experts Exchange often comes up when I’m searching for how to fix stuff. It’s annoying, because this site constantly tries to get you to pay for stuff and hides the actual content away as best it can. You don’t actually have to pay, though, to see the content. So here’s a Bash or Zsh alias for neatly avoiding all that:
function experts() { curl -s -H 'User-Agent: Googlebot/2.1 (foo)' $1 > $2.html && firefox $2.html; }
Change the ‘firefox’ bit to whatever browser you use (I’m on 3.5, yo!). Usage is simple:
experts http://link.to.experts.exchange.article.com filetosave
Don’t worry about including the .html bit, either. The file is saved to your current directory, just so you know.
turns out you can also just get to the solutions by scrolling past the links at the bottom of the page ….
Oh balls. And I never knew. Thanks for the tip-off.
