"""
The attached utf-8 encoded text file contains the favorite musical artists of 1000 users from LastFM. Each line is a list of up to 50 artists, formatted as follows:

     
    Radiohead,Pulp,Morrissey,Delays,Stereophonics,Blur,Suede,Sleeper,The La's,Super Furry Animals\n Band of Horses,Iggy Pop,The Velvet Underground,Radiohead,The Decemberists,Morrissey,Television\n
etc.


Write a program that, using this file as input, produces a list of pairs of artists which appear TOGETHER in at least fifty different lists. For example, in the above sample, Radiohead and Morrissey appear together twice, but every other pair appears only once. Your program should output the pair list to stdout in the same form as the input (eg Artist Name 1, Artist Name 2\n).

Mountain Lion Narcolepsy

I have experienced Mountain Lion on a Mac mini will go to sleep regardless of the Energy Saver settings in the System Preferences. After some reading, it seems OS X Mountain Lion has very aggressive power management, which will put the system to sleep against your (my) will.

This is my attempt to create a Launch Agent, which will use the system command caffeinate to prevent sleep indefinitely.

Copy the plist into ~/Library/LaunchAgents, then, in a Terminal session, run the command to load it up:
