Comment Ballmer probably knows what's said here (Score 1) 1147

Yes we all agree, Ballmer said something stupid. And we then think "he is stupid".
Maybe not.
What's the goal of this Ballmer speech? Obviously, it's been said here, that's not to get Apple fans back to ms-windows.
I think the goal is to keep on ms-windows those who have no clue at what really is Mac OS X. microsoft users hear 2 things:
1. Apple is growing, nice, hype, etc. but costs more, hence it must be better than windows!
2. now they have the REAL reason from Ballmer: that's just to get a nice logo. Great, they can stick to windows and stop worrying about that.

The audience target is not Apple fans, but microsoft users. Ballmer knows he is wrong. But the goal is to fool and keep ms-windows users.

(Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? 2362

Posted by timothy from the sed-is-underrated dept.

So the other day I messaged another admin from the console using the regular old 'write' command (as I've been doing for over 10 years). To my surprise he didn't know how to respond back to me (he had to call me on the phone) and had never even known you could do that. That got me thinking that there's probably lots of things like that, and likely things I've never heard of. What sorts of things do you take for granted as a natural part of Unix that other people are surprised at?
