Lets face it beagle is nothing more than an excuse for a poorly organised
filing system not on the machines behalf but on the side of the user , IF the
user was to have a sensible way of creating storing and sorting his files in
the first place there would be no need for the unmitigated resource hog in
the first place it just allows people to be lax and untidy

so there is no reason for it to be installed there is on the other hand a need
to teach people to organise the machines .

Are you a troll, do you really believe that sh*t, or are you a
superhuman?

On my workstations I have files that date back to 1983, when I had
my first account on a Unix system. I have email archives that date
back to 1981, when I got my first email account and started to work
on TeX. I have millions of code lines around, from software systems
that I worked on (both open source and proprietary).

If I remember that I had something to do, maybe 20 or 25 years ago,
with some TeX dude that might be relevant for a historic question
today; or if I remember that there was some functionality in some
software module that I need to know how it was solved but don't
remember the exact name of the system nor the respective module --
are *you* really able to answer such question with *your* properly
organized filing system faster than could be done by a personal
search engine?

If no, you don't know a thing about the work environment of others
and should stop looking down your nose at others.

If yes, I bow deeply concerning your superhuman abilities. You
would be the first one that I would have met in my > 30 years of
professional IT work who would be able to do so. If I ever overcame
my suspicion that this might perhaps not be true; I would
eventually be inclined[*] to give you a hint about just two
additional things to learn then: (1) others aren't as great as you,
you should not think your superhuman abilities are common traits --
and (2) you should really think about adding some minimal social
communication skills to your superhuman abilities, they're severly
lacking at the moment.
