Mr. pink , no doubt you’re a pro in Linux or whatever ! maybe thats why you feel like its of no use !! but remember the time when u started using it , didnt you find things small things which you learned exciting and fascinating and , didnt you even told any friend near you about those tricks , like wow man ,” you gotta check this , this is awesome” . we do respect your views that “its not important at all ” (not to you) but everyone is not at the same level man !
P.s. Think it then ink it !

That’s a clever little trick but I can’t imagine why you’d need to use it when there are already command line web browsers that can display web pages (minus graphics and Flash of course) very well. Try Lynx or Links (http://www.jikos.cz/~mikulas/links//).

They’re certainly good enough for reading full wikipedia articles, browsing news sites and even searching around torrent sites.

Can it pull more than just a snippet, which abruptly ends in the middle of a sentence? A page at least?
