comment What's the equivalent to && when writing a bash script?
Yes, that's right. It's a common idiom in Lisp (and functional languages in general, I suppose) and in Perl.

comment Who are these BSD Unix contributors?
Rev 3 thru 12 are from googling for "ucbvax!foo" and then I found a few more with "ucbernie!foo". UUCP bang paths are tricky. Note in particular that while ucbvax!foo is a match, ucbvax!foo@site is not (necessarily); it could mean that a message from foo@site was archived by someone at UCB.

comment How to match 2 large file and print the difference in shell script
"How much memory" is also a reasonable question. If you only have 128M of RAM, swapping (especially to old, slow disks) will dominate completely over the "real work". Switching to explicit temporary files could be a huge win in that scenario.

comment grepping dotfiles with -R correctly?
Including ..[!.]* seems a bit hysterical; do you actually have files whose names start with too dots? I would nominate grep -IR culprit .[!.]* as a reasonably correct, compact, portable, canonical answer.
