Got rid of the annoying beep!

Finally my computer is back! Nearly 2 months for the shop to send the motherboard for RMA and get it back. Sheesh!

Anyway, had a very irritating problem where the darn system speaker would beep every time I hit backspace in the terminal or if I hit the apostrophe key and then backspace. (I'm using international us keyboard layout with deadkeys) The solution is to add this in ~/.inputrc or /etc/inputrc:

set bell-style none

## I added this into ~/.inputrc instead of /etc/inputrc in case anything goes wrong I don't screw up my whole system.
