Sorry, I misremembered the numbers. There were none in 2008-2012, and eight in the past 18 months. So that is a significant increase in activity, but it can't be described as "n-fold" since there wasn't any before :)
Taiichi Ohno published the original "Toyota Production System: Beyond Large-Scale Manufacturing" in 1978 (the English translation was published in 1988), while Goldratt's "The Goal" was published in 1984.

You could then use all the tools that we already have for working with patches: colordiff to colorize the output, diffstat for a summary of changes, patch -R for reverting the changes, and so on.
Of course, you're more likely to than not already using version control, which gives you all this and much more, even if you were to use vanilla find+sed.
It is my understanding that artificial insemination is a very common procedure in modern livestock farming, and therefore one could argue that livestock farming for human consumption already encompasses rape at industrial scale.
The idea is that you have a small button in your status bar, that switches between 'all images off' / 'show cached images' / 'all images on'. This setting is remembered on site-by-site basis.
At least some books mention that "At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied." in the book description field. For example: http://www.amazon.com/Pirate-Cinema-ebook/dp/B0089LOEBS/ref=...
How about ddshttpd (http://dd-sh.intercal.org.uk/web-server/)? A web server written using only sh(1), dd(1), and echo(1). It even supports running server side scripts ("ddsh-bin") and setting content type based on file extension.
I'm somewhat saddened to see that they don't own dd.sh domain anymore. It was at least twice as cute as no.de is :)
I went to university (Edinburgh) with the author of dd.sh. I remember him as a crazy Italian in the classic mold. As a first-year undergraduate in the computer science department he convinced me to forkbomb the department's main 30-way computer server. What he didn't mention was that the head of department was running a bunch of stuff on there at the time. My resulting heart rate was eclipsed only by the load average on the host, which if memory serves pegged at 512. Now I knew how the sorcerer's apprentice felt.
In a demonstration of genius he then proceeded to shutdown this particular forkbomb, using - you guessed it - only dd and sh ...
According to rubygems.org stats page[1], there are 39411 gems available. I think the number 2560 on "all gems" page[2] is the number of gems starting with letter "a".
Ironically, this is the same issue of sloppy testing, just at another level (i.e. missing usability tests on the http://rubygems.org/gems website for at least months, maybe years)
I assume goodweeds refers to this http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Noirin_Shirley_ApacheCon_... . That page classifies the incident as sexual assault instead of attempted rape, but I have to admit that I don't know the precise distinction between the two.
