We don't like the command prompt "because it's hard". We like it because it's easy, once you have paid the "tax" to learn it.
Errm, yeah. That's why many "easy" compound commands / small scripts peddled around contain errors - and that's without those failing when people dare use "evil" characters in filenames.
As phantomfive pointed out, but harshly: you can check the directories on your PATH variable. Everyone is consiedered to contain usefull commands that might have a man page. I admit, most of my shell scripts don't have one.
Starting them with no argument will give you the 'usage'.
However there is another nice command: 'apropos'. It gives you a topic the most relevant commands and manpages.
E.g. 'apropos mail'
Uinix is by far (regarding command line) discoverable than windows...
Yeah, but reading a web page describing the few gestures you can use on iOS is too fucking complicated for you guys.
ok, so until there's a star trek computer you're going to forego any speech command technology, even though it is a useful tool for controling a phone?
Yes, in much the same way that I don't see the point of a 95% autonomous car.
Also like a you would shun a "auto-pilot" that couldn't fly a plane 100% of the time?
Bwahaha. You mean like 1998 was a extremely strong El Nino - and there supposedly was no warming since 1998? Well, apart from this year, which is much warmer than 1998.
From two years on, you will claim "No warming since 2015".
This year, It looks like your definition of much warmer and mine must differ, what I see is BEST and GISTEMP show slight warming, every other is nearly flat or slightly cooling like RSS. There is even discussions about whether the warming prior to the 1998 El Nino was statistically significant.
Too bad you didn't actually look at the data, you would have seen that some of the WFT series are sadly a "little" out of date. Both WTI and BEST don't contain any 2015 data.
Leaves us with 3 series, two showing an obvious climb in temperature, and one showing a small decrease. http://woodfortrees.org/plot/g...
And that last series happens to be RSS_Monthly_MSU_AMSU_Channel_TLT_Anomalies_Land_and_Ocean_v03_3 - and it doesn't show actual surface temp, but some convoluted calculation of temperature in the lower troposphere using microwave radiance: "TLT is constructed by calculating a weighted difference between MSU2 (or AMSU5) measurements from near limb views and measurements from the same channels taken closer to nadir, as can be seen in Figure 2 for the case of MSU. This has the effect of extrapolating the MSU2 (or AMSU5) measurements lower in the troposphere, and removing most of the stratospheric influence. Because of the difference involves measurements made at different locations, and because of the large absolute values of the weights used, additional noise is added by this process, increasing the uncertainty in the final results."
But because it shows just what deniers want to see, it's the one series they like.
There was my wind speed and direction, as well as a few more days of weather forecasts as well as sunrise and sunset times (Apple: This is not weather, dammit!)
Nope, it isn't "weather" . but (for historic reasons) it's meteorology.
Apple fans could be better. They could admit that the Creative Nomad was 10 times the MP3 player the gen 1 iPod was at half the price.
Well, the Nomad had a full 20% higher capacity. And it actually cost a little more than 50% of the iPod. But then it had a horrible user interface further slowed down by having to scan every file for MP3Tags all the time, was twice the volume, weight 40% more, but the battery only lasted 4 hours instead of 10. It also had a slow USB 1 interface.
Bet there will be an app that will soon be out that can monitor your speed on a specific track and let you know you are screwed just before the train derails.....
Yeah, but then somebody will type in a wrong number, and people will blame Apple...
We still aren't sure the engineer that drove to fast wasn't a secret muslim. Or a soviet sleeper agent, and ISIS cracked the codes of the KGB to activate them. We are all in grave danger.
He lives in a mansion and flies around in his own personal jet, so it must have been pretty lucrative.
He lived in a mansion long before he ever heard of Global Warming. And he never owned his own personal jet for that matter, and mostly flies commercial these days.
True science doesn't use the term "Deniers" to describe those that question methods used and not used to come to their conclusion. Religion uses terms like that.
And it gets used for people who repeatedly deny facts. Even by true Scotsman scientists.
I sat at lunch, at Princeton, while you were still still swimming around in your dad's balls
You were a janitor at Princeton, and now you are a senile old git, is that you point? Not understanding a sentence containing the phrase "pretty much" says much more about you than the claim you just made.
Don't get too excited, we're in a pretty strong El Nino, it's supposed to be unseasonably warm, I'm worried that it's not warmer.
Bwahaha. You mean like 1998 was a extremely strong El Nino - and there supposedly was no warming since 1998? Well, apart from this year, which is much warmer than 1998.
From two years on, you will claim "No warming since 2015".
And just to forestall anyone replying to you with "lots of snow means no global warming": Warmer air means it can hold more moisture. This leads to more precipitation....
So does that mean California's several-year drought is evidence against global warming? B-)
What part of "can hold" did you not understand? The "can" part?
You completely ignored my point moron. Do you know what happens when devices with the same MAC connect to a network?
I do. What do you? Will it explode? Will your magical MAC address blocking detect that? What? What do you think your point is, apart from trying to peddle a "solution" that is nothing but a annoyance to users, but doesn't solve any security problems?
So will the CEO do hard time if there is a felony car accident? Due to a software fault / sensor error?
Yeah, because that will so encourage corporations to accept liability and responsibility for their products, and not use a boilerplate "get out of jail free" card by putting all risk on the passengers (e.g. GPL section 15):
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM âoeAS ISâ WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
That is exactly what we don't want from autonomous car manufacturers, so threatening to lock their CEOs up for trying to do the right thing isn't just counter-productive, it is beyond stupid.
So what you are saying is that the GPL is incompatible with use in autonomous vehicles?
Slashdot Mirror
Let's face it, Apple's "low discoverable" UI may look pretty, but it's not very approachable or usable by non-power users.
Wow, somebody on Slashdot actually claiming all the people buying Apple products are power-users.

B. It's almost as if the whole premise that Apple is 'dumbing down' their interfaces is total bunk.
Maybe the people complaining about the interface dumbing down are actually becoming dumber each time they pretend to have used it.
Apple fans could be better. They could admit that the Creative Nomad was 10 times the MP3 player the gen 1 iPod was at half the price.
Well, the Nomad had a full 20% higher capacity. And it actually cost a little more than 50% of the iPod.

IOW it was better at being cheap crap.
Personally, I use this new "search engine" called Google. You should try it. I really think it is going to take off!
So which CLI command do you use to access it? man -k Google gives no results.
Who said anything about more secure? The user needs access, the apps don't. You're still talking out your ass... Why are you here?
And the user can access all the files he wants, Just not by using apps.
Bet there will be an app that will soon be out that can monitor your speed on a specific track and let you know you are screwed just before the train derails.....
Yeah, but then somebody will type in a wrong number, and people will blame Apple...
At least it wasn't another terrorist attack.
We still aren't sure the engineer that drove to fast wasn't a secret muslim. Or a soviet sleeper agent, and ISIS cracked the codes of the KGB to activate them. We are all in grave danger.
Answer the question. Do you know what happens when two devices with the same MAC address connect to a network?
As far as MAC filtering is concerned: it defeats it. Did you have anything but "the network explodes" in mind?
Says the guy who believes that unrestricted access to all files is more secure then restricted access.
He lives in a mansion and flies around in his own personal jet, so it must have been pretty lucrative.
He lived in a mansion long before he ever heard of Global Warming. And he never owned his own personal jet for that matter, and mostly flies commercial these days.

Textbook answer for those who are full of it... Perfect.. Thanks!
Yes, the perfect answer for you.
I thought it was Volkswagon.
No, they just pollute a little more than other cars, not kill people directly.
So will the CEO do hard time if there is a felony car accident? Due to a software fault / sensor error?
Yeah, because that will so encourage corporations to accept liability and responsibility for their products, and not use a boilerplate "get out of jail free" card by putting all risk on the passengers (e.g. GPL section 15):

Are you stupid? I just mentioned spoofing. How easy it is, isn't relevant. You still have to know the MAC of the devices connecting to the wAP.
IOW, all you have to listen for the MAC of one devices connecting to the wAP., and you cracked MAC address filtering. Thanks for proving my point.
