#2391Unix gives you just enough rope to hang yourself -- and then a couple
of more feet, just to be sure.
-- Eric Allman

... We make rope.
-- Rob Gingell on Sun Microsystem's new virtual memory.
#2392Unix is a lot more complicated (than CP/M) of course -- the typical Unix
hacker can never remember what the PRINT command is called this week --
but when it gets right down to it, Unix is a glorified video game.
People don't do serious work on Unix systems; they send jokes around the
world on USENET or write adventure games and research papers.
-- E. Post
"Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal", Datamation, 7/83
#2393Unix is a Registered Bell of AT&T Trademark Laboratories.
-- Donn Seeley
#2394* UNIX is a Trademark of Bell Laboratories.
#2395UNIX is hot. It's more than hot. It's steaming. It's quicksilver
lightning with a laserbeam kicker.
-- Michael Jay Tucker
#2396UNIX is many things to many people, but it's never been everything to anybody.
#2397Unix is the worst operating system; except for all others.
-- Berry Kercheval
#2398Unix soit qui mal y pense
[Unix to him who evil thinks?]
#2399 UNIX Trix

For those of you in the reseller business, here is a helpful tip that will
save your support staff a few hours of precious time. Before you send your
next machine out to an untrained client, change the permissions on /etc/passwd
to 666 and make sure there is a copy somewhere on the disk. Now when they
forget the root password, you can easily login as an ordinary user and correct
the damage. Having a bootable tape (for larger machines) is not a bad idea
either. If you need some help, give us a call.
-- CommUNIXque 1:1, ASCAR Business Systems
#2400UNIX was half a billion (500000000) seconds old on
Tue Nov 5 00:53:20 1985 GMT (measuring since the time(2) epoch).
-- Andy Tannenbaum
