My PID is Inigo Montoya. You kill -9 my parent process. Prepare to vi...
Oh geez, I really am a UNIX geek! Remember this boys & girls; Microsoft bad - SGI IRIX, SUN Solaris , SCO OpenServer, BSD and Linux are your friends.

Okay, maybe I'm stretching it a bit with SCO...

Hehe, that's a good one.
I'm suprised VI and Emacs are tied right now. Don't you VI guys realize it isn't a real text editor if it doesn't take 20 minutes to load on a P4 1.5 Ghz machine?

What do you think of the P4? I'm not inclined to "upgrade" anytime soon. From what I've heard, just to achieve 0 performance gain, I have to buy a new mainboard and junk my SDRAM for Rambus.
Er, strike that. Rambus is a bunch of lawyers. RDRAM is a memory type. ;)

It isn't a real editor unless I can reprogram it on the fly with comments embedded in the file that automatically make the next set of edits for me and check itself into CVS.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What a rush!!

Don't really care for them.
My next machine will be an Athalon, they're best on price vs performance IMHO.
That ever assumes I need to upgrade from my dual 400 celeron system.

Heh, thanks for the props on the Unix to 'Princess Bride" humor. I wish I could take credit for it but I found it on the net.
As far as the P4 is concerned, I'm not really impressed. Intel may be on top now in speed, but the lower MHz Athlons will still beat them in some areas. The AMD releases the new Palomino core Intel will have to go back to the drawing board.
If you thought skydiving took a lot of money, the specs for "Beast" my rendering / video editing box are below for your amusement:
Athlon 900 OC'd to 1050MHz and going to 1100+ when I go water cooled.
768MB in three 256MB sticks
Diamond Max 40GB ATA100 HDD for pre-process
Adaptec AHA-2940U2W with:
Two 18GB LVD HDD's
9GB UW HDD
These bad boys hold my OS, MP3's, movies & games
Teac 32X SCSI CD-ROM
Plextor 8x32 SCSI burner
DDS-3 SCSI DAT backup (12GB/24GB)
DPT UW RAID w/ 64MB cache with:
3 9GB UW HDD's for rendering & non-linear editing in a RAID-0 in an external enclosure.
Two 3Com PCI 10/100 NIC's
GeForce2 Ultra w/ 64MB DDR (New Toy)
SB Live Platinum
Dedicated Sony STR-D725 Dolby Digital reciever w/ Eosone satellites & 10-inch powered sub for surround-sound gaming goodness.
Windows 98SE for games
Mandrake 8.0 Linux with the new 2.4.4 kernel (Using KDE and BASH, of course)
Since my rig has been feeling neglected, I'm upgrading it to a new Mirage G3 and a 190 or 170 elliptical (depends on if I can keep losing weight like a madman like I have over the last few months) this July.
A guy can go seriously broke with these hobbies...

EXACTLY, Lay off you freakin' troll.... if what makes you cool is what you do for a living, then you must be what, an ummm.... Jr. High football coach or something. Wait, I know, you now work as a highway worker or on a litter crew & tell everyone who's willing to listen to it for the 1000nth time how you once scored the winning touchdown in that one game, against that peon class A school, in your senior year of high school.... "Man, those were the days huh?!?"
Get a grip man, I'd much rather jump with somebody with a enough brains to be able to watch out for me & themselves while screaming toward the planet (and toward me) @ 120+ mph!

I guess just because one skydives doesnt mean one is cool. eh?

Yeah pal, I think you just proved that pretty effectively.
Most of us grew up after high school and stopped trying to belittle other people because they didn't live their life the way the "cool" kids lived. Guess you never made that leap, huh?
Blues, squares,
No... strike that. No blue skies for you.

You go on being cool while I chill out down in Fort Lauderdale and go in late every morning to my "geek" job in Boca Raton.
Then keep on thinking you're cool while you and your buds cruise the local mall for babes while my friends and I party out on Las Olas or South Beach(and if you've never been here on a holiday you couldn't begin to imagine how much of a party goes on down here).
Stay cool while I'm cruising Bermuda and the Carib in my yacht.
Remain cool as I retire early and move down the BVI's in the above boat.
Personally I prefer the tropics.

Hey guys, if the troll wasn't even man enough to post their real name, it isn't worth getting fired up.
If Mr. Anon really wants to prove he's got cahone's he can come to my DZ and I'll take him on my patented "we're going all the way to Allah" bullet-to-earth freefly. I'm 5'8" and 230# and believe me, I am a human ROCKET in a head-down.
Seriously though, we're all human beings and it's high time that the vast majority realized that fact. I treat people the way I would want to be treated myself. High-school is over but I was a geek in high-school and I still managed to go out with the pretty girls, hang with good friends and had the respect of my peers.

Wow. Everyone got really angry and I STILL don't understand what the f*&$k you're all talking about!
Not that I think it's 'uncool' to converse in this esoteric way. I too could be considered a geek, just not a computer geek (Star Trek rocks, and the 'bald one', Picard, is one of the sexiest men to ever live...shame he doesn't skydive but you can't have everything)...
Although I wish I was a computer geek, cos then i'd earn loads and loads of money and be able to retire early and then skydive all day long instead of SITTING IN THIS ARSING OFFICE WHILE THE SUN SHINES OUTSIDE AND OTHERS GET TO JUMP!
huh.
Just a wee not-being-able-to-skydive vent.
