Explaining The Windows/UNIX Cultural Divide
giampy writes "Joel Spolsky writes a review-like article on the last book of Eric S. Raymond (The Art of Unix Programming). His views on the cultural differences among Windows and Unix programmers are well explained. Overall, an interesting read." Also on the topic of Windows, badriram writes "Microsoft is reorganizing the windows team, it seems the are separating the
OS core development. Seems like things heading in the right direction in creating a more secure OS, and making it more business oriented. Read the
article here."
They bridge the divide between Windows and Unix. They provide an easy to use GUI, yet still offer the chance to use the commandline stuff. Try SuSE 9 or Mandrake 9.2, its like how Windows 2000 Should of been like.

If the rope is short enough, you're sure to hang before your feet hit the floor (of course if it's too short, you may suffocate instead of breaking your neck, but it doesn't make much difference in the end). Too long rope however can lead to hurting your ankles, even breaking your legs, while still staying alive. Not good at all.
I'd personally favor a shot gun in the mouth, quick and sure, and also minimizes the problem with rifles and pistols that you may not die, just get brain damage. A bit nasty for whoever finds you or needs to clean up, but indefinitely better than speeding into a truck with a car for example.

Mod this guy up.
Despite what ESR says, look at the design of KDE or Gnome. Realworld Unix GUI programs do not use pipes. They use the same kinds of object interfaces found on Windows.
