[net.unix] shells and balls

EUNUCHS: a collection of castrated men...

UNIX: an operating system that tries to hide the fact that is has no
balls by covering itself with intricate shells.  (Let's face it,
if we take away the shells, UNIX ain't worth much...)


(What's this shiny metallic substance we find toward the end of this
tape.....must be some of that new metal tape.  Let's just keep on
writing...)

(I think we've found a bad block...I think we've found a bad
block...I think we've found a bad block...I think we've found a bad
block...)

(Indexed files..? Sure we've got indexed files!  Here's file number
one, there's files number two, over there is file number three.....)

(What?  You want to know what line of source code your C program
bombed out on without spending two months learning about adb..?
Ha.....Ha Ha.....Ha Ha Ha.......What do you think this is, VMS?)

(Gee, lets create a process or two for every port, even though no
one is using them.  Having lots of processes makes us look
sophisticated.  Hopefully that will cause these useless humans to
overlook the fact that we're slower than a constipated duck.)

(Golly, how about allowing the users to send mail and post articles
in newsgroups that can be read nationwide.  That way they can waste
all the time they should be working to spread their arrogantly
egotistical views about how to wipe their asses and run up a big
phone bill for their employer at the same time...)

(...Live free or die Castrated...)

C'mon guys!  I thought everybody knew
that UNIX got its name from being

   "MULTICS with its balls cut off"

And gee.... lets go out and take 20 year-old technology and 
do a really lousy port of UNIX V6 and live in the tundra
and try and to be as much like HP as we can!!!

Hmmm... here we have this 4691 color inkjet that prints a whole
150 dpi and maybe even a page every two to three-and-a-half minutes
and lets charge $12K+ for it and try to sell it to people
too stupid to know better.

Hmm... let's send out a message and offend everyone we can find on
a "network" that works because of what we're putting down and 
demonstrate our ignorance and, while we're at it, make our
company look stupid, too!!!
