If the values are ordered, their format is fixed and the uniq implementation on your platform supports the w option:

Code:
uniq -w10 infile

Otherwise use awk:

Code:
awk '!_[$1,$2]++' infile

On Solaris you should use gawk, nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk.

Or Perl:

Code:
perl -ane'print unless $_{$F[0], $F[1]}++' infile
