err, i could name a few: ken, dennis, rob, presotto, jmk, brucee -- yeah a lotta unix and plan 9 guys.
and yes, i have met them, spent time with them and they are truly outstanding.
i've also met a lot of bad coders (either virtually 'cos i've read their code or i have physically met them) -- far too many.
i think the worst are the python mob; people with no comp sci background who code up garbage (because it is easy) and then complain that what they coded doesn't work.
this class of coder is the worst because they can easily code up up something and they are trying to do hard science and get all upset when their 'programs' break. a basic understanding of data types is what they need and the one they use the most is floating point.
floating point, of course, being the hardest.

no, you miss the marketing of the mircosoft/intel cartel. every intel based machine is shipped with windows. so it looks like it's free, but it's not. that's how bill got his money.
a marketing agreement was entered into with IBM, when they needed something to run on the PC, and bill was there. another choice, well the CEO was out flying his aircraft. so an agreement was struck that every IBM PC would be shipped with [Q]DOS.
and THAT is where the money came from.
it's not a technology company, it's a marketing company that uses tried and proven IBM techniques.
linux is not 'free' in the sense that you have to spend time installing it. so, should you decide to do this, you pay twice.
gates has an army of slaves who are building 'pyramids'; like chuck thacker said of 'hot rocks': 'interesting, but useless'.
unless, of course, you believe that crippling a 2Ghz intel (cough) processor is a 'good thing' or in some way useful, except to fill the coffers of gates and grove.

Who said that? Who the fuck said that? Who's the slimy little communist shit twinkle-toed cocksucker down here, who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh?! The fairy fucking godmother said it!

it already had streams and networking and NO sysVile IPC.
rob: what's the phrase that used to be used after reading a fortune cookie?
sounds like fanboy hasn't met very many coders.

no, it is not. do i type gcc or cc?
do i type:
make -n
and it smashes my RCS'd source that i'm working on?
and yeah, one '-' suffices.
how about?

is that what micro$loth produces? 'software'? i agree that what they produce does start with an 's' though.

brute force is a great tool, if used with intelligence; you thrash it till it breaks, fix it, goto loop;

roUnin.
And it's roUnin, not 'ronin'.
1127 is/was the 'unix group' at the labs. 11271 is/was the 'core' of it.
It only gets unlinked when its link count drops to zero and the data is freed when the last (potential) close is 'called'.
So what's st_nlink and how many fd's reference it?
English does but it's very limited, unlike French which has some 7 subjunctive tenses (iirc), of which 1 is only really used.
