I agree. I picked this book up planning to skip through and read the interesting parts, but ended up digesting the whole thing from front to back in a couple days.
Good reading for aspiring Unix hackers, or the experienced who enjoy reading insight from old-school Unix guys (Thompson, Ritchie, and several others pepper the book with their opinions throughout).
I know what you mean. I found the story very interesting, but the presentation was awkward difficult to swallow at times (and I tend to enjoy his long-windedness in other novels).
Dayquil is just Nyquil minus the diphenhydramine. It's silly to take Nyquil in the daytime unless you want to be tired or are having allergy problems with your cold.
Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that makes most people drowsy, and is the generic name for Benadryl.
Btw, most OTC sleep aids are just diphenhydramine at a higher price. Just buy a cheap box of generic Benadryl and use it for both allergies and to help you sleep.
This is why all important biometric security should be combined with a memorized passphrase which can be changed. Even better, bio + phrase + pseudo-random data (e.g. SecurID).
Yeah. You might notice that smaller "Mom 'n' Pop" restaurants will sing Happy Birthday to celebrate a customer's birthday (as they do not know of the copyright), but large chains will often come up with their own silly birthday song to avoid legal/financial issues.
I served HTTP and DNS from a 133MHz Intel box with FreeBSD 3.x several years back. Worked fine for small sites with static pages; mine was a small personal site, so there was not much traffic.
...internal host/network security and perimeter security. Firewalls won't help when you walk a virus into the office and plug it into your internal network, but they'll certainly help give you time to upgrade e.g. ssh on all your internal systems without nearly as much chance of suffering a successful attack from the outside.
On the other hand, automated corporate desktop patch updates and virus signature updates should help mitigate the "laptop" sort of issues.
The answer to the second question is clearer, though. Macs are worth a lot of money in the resale market, while PCs aren't. Browsing on eBay, I see a 400 MHz iMac receiving 18 bids at $325 right now. On the PC side, a 1 GHz Pentium III is at $102. Now, I'm not saying these two are equivalent computers. I'm saying you should factor that difference into the TCO.
Yes, but the iMacs cost more to begin with. Compare the cost of the cheapest brand-new iMac with the cheapest new name-brand PC.
Future Storage? What's with Microsoft and Intel, and their time-challenged naming conventions? New Technology, Katmai New Instructions, now Future Storage. NT is old, KNI (SSE) has already been superceded; when's Even More Futurer storage coming?
Mmm... Built on NT Technology... and ATM Machines...
The Oracle never tells Neo he isn't the one. Go watch the scene again and listen more carefully to her words. She tells him what he needed to hear, just like Morpheus said.
Think about how the story would be different if she flat-out said he was the one (when he still didn't believe it yet), or flat-out told him he was not (without telling him he would have to choose between his own life and Morpheus').
Ping can more than just ICMP_ECHO and ICMP_ECHOREPLY. It likely sends and receives more detailed information to and from the server than an ICMP "ping".

Oops, Nyquil actually uses doxylamine; I remembered wrong. It's also an antihistamine and is the same stuff used in Unisom.

I have four fingers, you insensitive clod!
DONGS!
You're much better off using the black|grey|white hacker classes, although even that can be fuzzy at times.
Fuzzy? But there's so much granularity! #F0F0F0 hat, #676767 hat...
My copy of AOL 2.5 Germany from 1996-1997 said "du hast post!".
What, you haven't heard of the gift that keeps on giving? :)

AFAIK, most Unix vendors gave up on writing compilers a few years ago and now just distribute GCC...
Who do you mean? Sun, IBM, HP, Compaq... they all still have their own compilers.
UnixWare has its own compiler, but a lot of people use GCC.
Nope, I didn't realize it could be configured that way. I'd just heard some folks who own newish Macs griping about it.
Yes, it's exactly like any other Unix. Just ask /etc/hosts and its friends.
OSX is Unix-like in many respects but it is not by any stretch of the imagination the same as BSD, Solaris, or Linux.

Tell them megahertz measures how many times it can turn the crank per second. What happens on the other end of the crank depends on the processor.

The term is borrowed from poker, where the blue chips are traditionally the most expensive.

Yeah. Some of the Linux community are children.
Ping can more than just!!!!!

There should be a "mean" in there somewhere.
