unix rant 

One of my least favorite "improvements" is that `less` by default clears the screen when you quit. So you find exactly what you want in the man page, hit `q` to return to the shell, and it erases exactly what you needed to see. Every time I move to a new system this annoys me until I fetch my dotfiles.

@th Oh wow. I didn't even know you could disable that. My life has been forever changed! I mean, in a small way, but still. Thanks!

@eqe @cstanhope and I thought I was hardcore for knowing to type `stty erase ^H sane` when the terminal doesn't match the `$TERM`.
