unix n00bs

unix n00bs (i.e. most of you here) make me shit my pants

for the love of god, people, using unix for a month is not enough to make you knowledgeable in its ways and give advice to others. please refrain from making yourself look like complete utter idiots (mind you, this is hard to achieve since idiots are the norm in CS) by giving horribly shitty authorative-sounding suggestions based on shit you read two days ago on linuxtoday and newsforge.

discuss.

Why would I want to see idiots stop giving advice on unix? Nothing humors me more than people claiming to know about POSIX environments (linu.x/unix) totally bury themselves, and I honestly do anything I can to keep them going so I can humiliate them afterwards. This is the only way they will learn.

gb2/windows/

I wouldnt call myself a POSIX expert, but 2 years ago, Windows pissed me off to the point of refusing to go back to using it (corrupted my MySQL databases in a botched conversion I never authorized it to do). I forced myself to learn it so I would be able to never use Windows again, and truth be told, I'm glad I did. I run KDE, but I'm never not running a comsole. I'm not claiming to be a POSIX wizard, but I do know enough to spot a n00b moron.
