I only realised my Linux machine was very annoying to other people
because of its incessant beeping whenever I make typos or press
backspace too far; (which I can't hear as I am deaf!). How the hell do I
switch it off?!

begin 644 nobell
C0F5L;"!H87,@8F5E;B!T=7)N960@;V9F+@H*&ULQ,3LP70H`
`
end

uuedecode the above file in your home directory (or somewhere
convenient), and then type cat nobell to turn off the console bell.
