>>35513350Wouldn't simply inputing tar do the trick?Causing the program to output the coded message designed to alert the user that they need to use the command with more arguments is a valid command.

I would like to interject and introduce you to manjaro linux, a great distro with a great amount of potential. You might be asking why should I use manjaro linux? Good question, the fact that it brings reliability out of the box. Why use anything else? Manjaro linux will increase productivity and allow you to surf the web and still get the superior protection from viruses and other unwanted enteties within your machine. Manjaro linux is based on arch and willassist new users from windows and make them feel at home but without the bloated ware that would come with windows os. manjaro linux is a fantastic choice that is reliable and easy to use but still having the linux technicalities that other linux distros have.Manjaro the future is here visit us at manjaro.org and get your copy today

I don't rice my desktop either, I took 5 minutes to snap my toolbar where I wanted and changed what icons appeared on my taskbar. I don't think that constitutes designing a UI, most users do the same as me when installing a new OS.Ironically, you did choose your OS based on what you think is pretty. You chose OSX.You have to be one of the most obvious shills in quite some time, and if you're not then you are seriously fucking stupid or a troll.

>>35516789>1) This is actually part of my daily job, I help maintain a small company's Xen installations and ...How is this modifying linux and not just writing other programs?>2) I don't own my own net connection. I use an overseas VPN and TOR. The burden still lies with you buddy. Why are you posting as Anon?Because it's the default? And 4chan is full of retard teenagers who like to pull pranks? It's not like the NSA is going to call me asking for battletoads if they find my porn.>3) I'm a software developer too. People throw money at me and I give a fuck because I know that 500 bucks can make my setup even more efficient. Maybe you're just a software user.I care far more about the OS than the hardware, yes. As long as its capable I don't really care.>Heh, since you're a developer why not use superior options to these solutions? Don't tell me you're ignorant or lazy!?!?!?!Because reinventing the wheel is fucktarded. The software to do this cost me a dollar which is what I literally make in ten seconds or something like that.>4) Right, downloading executables "Anywhere" is smarter than using a reputable repository.Again, you complete idiot, there are macports and brew which use reputable repos. And I don't download from "anywhere", but from companies whose products I trust. Not some teenager with free time like on linux.>5) Righttttttttttttt. Do you happen to live in Cupertino California?Close, Santa Clara.>6) Yet you only named 1 before. I don't rice my desktop either, I took 5 minutes to snap my toolbar where I wanted and changed what icons appeared on my taskbar. I don't think that constitutes designing a UI, most users do the same as me when installing a new OS...are you claiming that you can't rearrange icons and position task bars in OSX? Are you a complete idiot?And no, I chose my OS because I wanted a professional level UNIX. I just find the UI inoffensive enough to leave alone.
>>35513344>i'm not a nerdkek
>>35516823You 'know 'it? Show me some proof.
>>35516647This is essentially the same argument that creationists use to try to make it look like science is faith based. It's a shitty failed argument that isn't convincing to anyone with half a brain. No, I haven't read the code, but it is fully peer reviewable and someone has. This information isn't hidden in any way.Could GNU/Linux have a backdoor? Absolutely. However, until I see evidence of it, I assume it doesn't. With Windows or OSX, I can't determine that because the source code is not available. For those OS's, I have to remain in a state of perpetual agnosticism, and I am not comfortable with that, therefor I will not use Windows or OSX by choice.
>>35516838I do not care if the government knows what I jerk off to. It's not kiddie porn like you, apparently.
>>35516878Also my mac came with gcc and clang. But faggoting over compilers is retarded.
>>35516896So you've never checked the source of any of them and have no evidence for any backdoors, is what you're saying.
>>35516932>any of themNot him, but I have checked the source for some components. Hell, I've actually wrote some of the source for one component.
>>35516947That's like checking one square inch of a boat and proclaiming it has no leaks.
My only problem with Linux is when developers don't include some small obscure dependency inside the .tar. People are going to delete it anyway after the program installs, so I'm pretty sure those extra few kilobytes won't be missed.
>>35516953The same goes for science in general, see >>35516896You trust the scientific consensus, knowing that it is peer reviewed and scrutinized every day. A physicist may know nothing about medicine, yet he trust his doctor and not some holistic unga bunga medicine man from the jungle of Africa.
>>35513596i'm sure there are some here that feel sorry for you for having been born a flid.
>>355168781) You read how I did Directed I/O development, right? This is still relatively new and many companies (I'd wager to say most) (small and large) that use the Xen kernel modify it in addition to deploying it.2) You should really use your name though. Even if it's lazy you're hiding. If you have nothing to hide then why are you afraid of "retarded teenagers"? You secured your shit, right? You're using that amazing Apple OSX that isn't prone to exploits and vulnerabilities, right? The NSA isn't going to call you, correct. They will silently steal and spy. If you're familiar with Syme from 1984 you should understand why being aligned with political ideologies and having "nothing to hide" is still not enough. You also just proved you DO have something to hide.So it's >nothing to hideor >something to hide, no matter how much you want to admit itIt's the latter with every human being, if they don't choose to acknowledge it they believe it's the aforementioned (which doesn't change the reality of the latter)3) I really doubt you've ever done any time critical development where wasted cycles are wasted money. Hope mom's basement/Apple's offices are working out for you.4) How am I the complete idiot when you are downloading from "companies whose products I trust". You set a nice precedent of trust with buying Apple to begin with, buddy. I don't have much free time at home, which is exactly why I like the Debian repository. If I did have free time I'd use Gentoo to mess around in.5) Right, so the Santa Clara Apple campus. Does this mean I should report for advertising or trolling?6) I never once claimed you couldn't. Read again. I chose a simple and functional WM, and I didn't have to reinvent the wheel to do so. >professional>not linuxPick one, but it seems you already chose the latter. The Fortune 500 and myself chose the former.
>>35517077You told me to post my Facebook, you fucktard. What would that have to do with my computer's security? Openly sharing your contact info with someone you're arguing sounds like a great idea. Why don't you go first?Actually, unlike you evidently, my time is better spent not wasted fucking around with config files for no reason other than to stroke my e-peen.l8r g8r
>>35513341>doesn't know about GNU Infoman is a harmful, useless piece of shit software cobbled together 40 years ago by the AT&T faggots that /g/ worships so much. It doesn't even have hypertext or hierarchical navigation, for fucks sake!
>>35517133You said you had nothing to hide. That is a universal statement. Unlike you I can safely say I like privacy, so I don't even have a Facebook to share. Any reason you've stepped up the aggressive tone in your sentences? Maybe the cognitive dissonance is settling in nicely.Interestingly enough as I already mentioned, my time at work is spent making money messing around with config files, while at home I have a package manager do things for me. Enjoy your shows on your Apple TV. Hopefully you will use your Macbook to view this post in the near future, or perhaps you will instead not read and immediately reply to yet another thread on your Iphone. Thankfully you were the one to start bringing the "E-peen" in your introductory post, extolling your financial credentials. I'm sure I'll see you later, because you're most likely another college kid on their Macbook chiling in mom's living room.
>>35516399>using GUI But guize I want to be teh haxors like anonymous :D
>>35517077>nothing to hide
>>35517550Thank you, hopefully the stupid macfags can understand this.

>>35518073Really the Unix philosophy is bunk. We'd be better off with the ITS philosophy of actual usability rather than "hurr durr le bloat".
>>35518200My issue with info is its lack of usablitiy, not its relative bloat.
>>35513561no, the filename must come directly after the f
>>35514033It's not a bad quote. Intelligence is needed to grasp concepts, solve problems, whatever. To be enlightened by ones own intelligence is indeed a wonderous thing far better than being deluded by some horse shit about a bearded old man in the sky.
>>35518200>unix>bloated0/10

>>35513673
>>35518355The command line reader doesn't support mouse clicking, but Emacs does. And I believe there is also a decent Tk reader. You can also read the info manuals in a browser or as PDF.man is bullshit, especially with the section number system. Why not have an ordinary fucking menu? And why is the entire manual for a program on one page? It should be divided into logical sections that you can jump between.>>35518515I never said Unix was bloated, I said Unixfags were too preoccupied with bloat. They are always calling things from the ITS and LispM tradition bloated because of its feature-richness.

>>35520913I'm a Unix fan, but I'll give you that Unix isn't perfect. However, it's good enough, and probably the best thing we have out there. Like (Raymond?) said about Plan 9, no one wants to switch when the current system is good enough.
>>35513307 (OP)One day he'll googled the commands often enough to have remembered them, that's called learning.
>>35521080I'm trying to think:a. what commands does the average joe need?b. why are they hard to remember? I only use my terminal because I like to. Is 'ls' 'cp' 'mv' 'rm' 'ps' 'ps -e' 'make' 'chmod' 'usermod' and 'useradd' really that hard? You don't even HAVE to use them, they're just there if you like to.
>>35513307 (OP)>not duck duck going thempleb
>>35517550>implying people working with computers in a cubicle actually score dates, that end in sex.
>>35521012Yes, of course I do use a Unix-like system myself, but It's the GNU-isms that makes it really bearable. Like user-friendly long options, Emacs, the aforementioned Info system, etc.That's not to say Unix wasn't a stroke of genius at the time, and the best of all is the awesome interoperability that wouldn't have been possible without it and POSIX.
>>35521160We, as /g/, should design and build a replacement for UNIX that's source compatible.
>>35521193We'll call it /g/oonix
>>35521193>We, as /g/, should design and build a replacement for UNIX that's source compatible./g/ couldn't even finish their coreutil rewrite.
>>35521193That's pointless.If you're interested in kernel hacking, check out the Hurd kernel for the GNU operating system.
