when setting up WordPress on a remote system I need to be able to get the tarball with the latest release on the server. It seems silly to copy it to my desktop and then use scp to upload it to the server. That's twice the time (at least). Instead, I use wget to grab the tarball while I'm SSH'ed into the server and save myself a few minutes.
Finally, wget is scriptable. If you want to scrape a Web site or download a file every day at a certain time, you can use wget as part of a script that you call from a cron job.
First of all, when preparing to "give a paper" at a scientific meeting, I actually write a paper --- not just a bulleted outline of the talk, but the actual narrative that I seek to present. Then I typeset the paper and store it on my personal webpage as a pdf. Prior to the actual presentation at the meeting, I make a short summary of the salient points of my talk and put these into a document that will fit onto a two-sided 3-by-5 card. (I have the cards printed up in some fun color that might hold a connection to the meeting: Bronco orange in Denver, Carolina blue in Chapel Hill, etc.) I also include on the cards my email address and the URL of the paper that I am presenting. The data density of one 3-by-5 card and an 8-point font probably exceeds 3 or 4 ppt slides --- a good deal of information can be put onto those little guys.
The first thing to do is to start the ClamVA demon by typing clamd --- After a few moments, control of the command line should return to the user. The next thing we need to do is to update the ClamVA virus database. Use this command: freshclam --- The next stage is to mount the NTFS partition that contains the suspect files. Before we can do that though, we have to figure out how Linux has named the Windows partition. Do this by running GParted via the application launcher.
