I DON'T KNOW WHO ANY OF YOU ARE.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 15:49 (nineteen years ago) link

honestly. i don't hate you at all jon, but it's hard to not take the piss when someone tries to equate being able to use unix and being smart that's all.

This thread is funny. First, Jon Williams says "How dumb are mac users." That was funny because he is saying that Mac users are dumb. Soon after, he says "I'm a UNIX user, faggo." That's funny because he is using a variant of the homophobic slur "faggot" but doesn't actually mean it. Following that, Ken C. contributes with several posts that are meant to signify laughter, with a long succession of "ha"s.

In sum, this thread is funny and taught me a lot.

and then when you reply to "aren't you a mac user" to "i'm a unix user" it's just like putting c-man in a field of breasts. how can one resist?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 15:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't even know who you are.

Most smart people don't give a shit about the technicalities of computer usage. They've got more important stuff to worry about.

Oh, so you're implying people in technical fields are dumb?

LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS ARE DUMB.

― Typhoon is Coming!!! :O (ex machina), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 15:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Do any of really know who any of us are? If you're a smart UNIX user, you should be able to figure that out.

This is a test to see if cutty will avail himself of the same insult even if I post nothing of substance.

you never post anything of substance, besides questioning why someone would post something, stating that you don't even know who the person is, or some irrelevant opinion of yours.

Windows is pissing me off because i can't assign the shoulder buttons to my MS mouse to page up and page down.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 17 March 2005 15:47 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah that's kind of annoying. I just used the scroll all the time on my mouse instead of trying to do anything like that, it was kind of fun after a while.

― Allyzay Dallas Multi-Pass (allyzay), Thursday, 17 March 2005 15:48 (nineteen years ago) link

What constitutes being smart as far as computer usage is concerned?

Is it enough to know ASP, SQL, PHP, X/HTML, CSS, Javascript, Flash/Actionscript, PhotoshopIllustratorQuark, Premier, AfterEffects and have artistic skill in and knowledge of print, web and motion graphics design?

Or does one need to creating applications to be considered smart? Because I bet a software developer would look like a fuckin' dumbass pitching ad concepts to Nike.

― Eleventy-Twelve (Eleventy-Twelve), Thursday, 17 March 2005 17:05 (nineteen years ago) link

You need to know all of those things, including ad pitching.

amazing thread

― DG, Thursday, 17 April 2008 21:21 (sixteen years ago) link

I use a Mac at home. I hate tcsh so I avoid the command line whenever possible. I tried to get a bunch of packages using fink but my gcc compiler links are broken and I can't be bothered to fix them. I have a liberal arts degree, like seriously, my degree says "liberal arts," no "history" or "linguistics" attached at all. I've never bothered to install SoulSeek or BitTorrent clients on my box and I pay for all my software and music.

My name is TOMBOT and I work in the IT security industry making $80,600 a year.

Heh. How dumb are bash users?

― kenan, Thursday, 17 April 2008 21:46 (sixteen years ago) link

My antipathy toward bash is kinda like my antipathy toward Linux: Folks who encounter a non-bash shell or a non-Linux unix seem to ask the following question early and often: Well, why doesn't this work just like bash/Linux???
