A is for awk which runs like a snail, and B is for biff which reads all your mail. C is for cc as hackers recall, while D is for dd the command that does all.

M is for more from which less was begot, and N is for nice which it really […]

Politically correct UNIX

In order for UNIX(tm) to survive into the nineties, it must get rid of its intimidating commands and outmoded jargon, and become compatible with the existing standards of our day. To this end, our technicians have come up with a new version of UNIX, System VI, for use by the PC – that is, the “Politically Correct.” Politically Correct UNIX(tm) System VI Release notes

Fast Food The UNIX Way

Last night I dreamed that the Real World had adopted the “Unix Philosophy.” I went to a fast-food place for lunch. When I arrived, I found that the menu had been taken down, and all the employees were standing in a line behind the counter waiting for my orders. Each of them was smaller than I remembered, there were more of them than I’d ever seen before, and they had very strange names on their nametags. I tried to give my order to the first employee, but he just said something about a “syntax error.” I tried another employee with no more luck. He just said “Eh?” no matter what I told him. I had similar experiences with several other […]

Anti UNIX from MS-Windows Lusers

If Unix is the answer, then it must have been a stupid question. Unix is the only virus with a command-interface. How can an operating system from 1970 (UNIX) be more modern than an operating system from 1978 (VMS)? Unix – the first computer virus. NFS = Nightmare File System. Berkeley is famous for LSD and BSD UNIX. I don’t think that is a coincidence. Sure, the Unix file system corrupts your files, but look how fast it is! Friends don’t let friends use Unix. Unix – the ideal operating system for CPU’s that are never powered up. Nothing wrong with Unix that a total redesign and rewrite can not fix. UNIX will be preempted by NT. UNIX doesn’t know […]
