Still keeping idiots busy. 1950s time wasting system.
Of course, that beats the 2000s idiot time wasting system. Responding to people on slashdot.

Ever look at them again? Fog Horn, Bugs, Jetsons, they all stand the test of time. Courage - sadly not so much. Three Stooges - for the most part not so much. Then there was outright crap.
Fog Horn - Boy, I Saaay Boy - boy's about as sharp as a bowling ball! Man, classic! I know people about as sharp as a bowling ball.
Then there's the manufacturing songs by an orchestra.

So you set it to "(){:;};rm -rf
Even before the helper script has had time to receive the data and do the necessary sanity check on it, bash will interpret the whole content (because it begins with () ) including the rm.
Wish people would try stuff before talking about it. If you try to run any binary you will get a segmentation violation. I know, I tried. Before you point out libraries paths and crap, that doesn't work either. We tried that as well. You're limited to shell stuff only. I.e. echo for example but not
... reboots are years between, and in scheduled windows.
Care to publish the IP of your machine?
Of course don't do that, only a fool would do that if you're not rebooting to a new kernel more often.
Have you even looked at systemd? By your comments I don't think so. I'm getting a 3 second reboot with a VM. Yes you have to learn some new stuff. Big deal. I'm a guy that used to compile Unix from tape on a vax 11/750. Learn it, it's worth it.
Think so, eh? Don't read this then - http://www.sweetliberty.org/is... . I know a guy that was working for Dupont when they came up with the ozone bit. He's still amazed people are still duped by it. PT Barnum was right, sucker born every moment.
It's not like they pushed down some rap crap, or some stuff passing as music that's actually noise.
There's a whole economy with bullies taking lunch money from other kids. How are they supposed to do that anymore?
Yet someone else on slashdot without a clue spreading a myth. https://disneyworld.disney.go....
Do you know what we had before this country existed? Look it up. I think you'll easily agree we own land today. Clearly it isn't what it used to be.
I own a lot of land. I can sell it as well. Often do. Buy other land. No sweat. The big caveat is don't go around trying to harm others. No drugs, no religions that serve only you, other nastyness. No problems. Ironically my fear are the crazy lefties and their BS. Suddenly a building they don't like may become a target. Often for something that isn't even a problem - like too much di-hydrogen monoxide. I know, it kills a lot of people every year. However it's necessary for commerce. Funny example, however this happens.
BMI determines my BP. It's like clock work. Higher BMI, higher BP. Anytime I'm over 220, it goes up. Below 220 I'm in the normal range. If I eat something very heavily salty, of course it goes up. Don't eat a salt lick.
From 123456 to abc123. There, I'm safe from Soviet hackers now.
I'd fail the 8 char check. I'm safe. I changed it from Password1 to Password2!. They'll never think of that.
Finally happened. The icrap. Works like a time machine, taking us back to 2012. What a dud.
Fire Cook, fire him now. Run him out of town on a rail.
Come on guys, we're not helpless Windows type people. Stuff changes. Go with it. I'm old guard, as in I used to make my own filesystems from a prototype old. Today you just mk*fs. Partitions are easy, even X11 is automatic to the point people probably don't even know they're running X11.
I loved the old stuff. Made a lot of money with it. Old, dated. Like with aircraft, autos, etc, time moves on. Adapt or be left behind.
The new way it boots, there's no question it's better. Just learn the new way.
that war is over, and vi won
Clearly it didn't. Bash uses emacs commands by default, of course. Mode editors are so 1960s. If you're serious about computer science, learn emacs. Then you can use both. I use both. If it is something simple, I use vi. For anything else emacs. Once you learn emacs, then you'll wonder why someone didn't let you in on the secret before. So far I have one guy that still wouldn't admit Emacs was superior, of course he wouldn't even try it. He helped write vi.
So sure, vi won in the sense that it's almost always installed by default - small, fast. When I show people Emacs and what can do, they usually learn it.
SYSV and BSD
Gnome and KDE
Didn't care which one - SYSV or BSD back in the 1980s, pick one and all of us - use it! Didn't happen. That BS still rages on today when BSD was rescued out of oblivion by replacing the Apple OS with a modified version of it.
Gnome and KDE - again, pick one. Can't have that now can we? Let's fragment everything!
Now this crap. I go back to the mid 1980s with Unix. It built my house and has paid for everything I own. I'm happy to move to the new way. It's better. SYSV - nice knowing you. I'll put you in the back of my closet like I did with the Casette, 8 track, other stuff that had a good run. I'm sure I'll always remember you.
Not to say that the new way is a bed of roses. Getting better, however.
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.
