[PLUG] Funny publicly available Unix humor text remembered recently |
Maybe copyright hasn't quite expired but one of the editors posted it on his MIT page so I assume it's not just piracy: https://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf "The Unix-Hater's Handbook" is one of those works where it shows you're a real connoisseur of Unix operating systems if you read it and still find it funny despite being a comedy roast of the software you use (or used years ago). It also shows how much we should be grateful for efforts like the GNU project and the Linux and various BSD kernels that made using these things much less of an abject nightmare. On a somewhat related note, editor Simson Garfinkel co-wrote "The Computer Book: From the Abacus to Artificial Intelligence, 250 Milestones in the History of Computer Science", which is kind of a nice coffee table sort of book: https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Book-Artificial-Intelligence-Milestones-ebook/dp/B07C2NQSPV ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
