The Unix-Haters Handbook Online

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the aged-liked-a-fine-win dept.

kinema writes "It looks like The UNIX-Hater's Handbook has been made availible online for free. You'll never guess who's server it is on." Worth noting that the book was written some time ago, and that much of what is in there is ancient history. But still worth a look.

    The dupes are a UNIX usability thing - it won't be cleared up until the slashcode port to another platform completes.

    Oo, don't you just HATE *nix?

    Exactly, they need to move to Windows where everything has so many features duplication is near impossible, not matter how hard people try

  7. C++ = Cobol? by termos · · Score: 5, Funny

    - 10 C++. The COBOL of the 90s
    Let me see. The document is at some microsoft developers homepage, they way I translate this is that "C++ is bad"?
    And what language is most of Microsoft Windows written in? Oh, let me see, C++? Isn't this a bit self-contradictory?

    NEO: Whoa. Deja vu.

    TRINITY: What did you just say?

    NEO: Nothing. Just had a little deja vu.

    TRINITY: What happened? What did you see?

    NEO: A /. article said "Unix-Haters Handbook Available Online" and then I saw another that looked just like it.

    TRINITY: How much like it? Was it the same /. article?

    NEO: It might have been. I'm not sure.

    NEO: What is it?

    TRINITY: A deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when CmdrTaco doesn't check previous posts!
