03 odyssey

You lying, moronic, deceptive, obfuscating, self-aggrandizing, pompous,
overblown miserable bag of shit.

I recognize that this is all you have, but JUST ONE TIME, pretend to be
an adult and take responsibility for what you say, and what it means.

Try getting out of your mom's basement and interacting with some real
humans; they won't really hurt you. For the love of Christ, take a
chance! It can't possibly any worse than whatever hell you're living now.

By the way, I could easily spell out (as I have in the past) what you
said, and what it means, and what it was intended to mean... and you'd
completely ignore it, and go on to make a pointless argument about
something entirely different. I won't do that, and you may say what you
like. But this is a public forum, 'jim', and anyone who cares to can
read it, and draw their own conclusions. Why don't you man up, for once?

I use it every day. The point is that the original claim was that "case
matters". The claim was *NOT* that there were any CLI commands that were
capitalized. See the difference? You throwing in that question was an
attempt to twist the issue.

Correct, you didn't say it wasn't a true statement. You did, however,
attempt to sidetrack the issue, by demanding us to name a command that is
capitalized, which is not the same thing.

How come you didn't respond to this portion of my previous post?

 

but that wasn't /my/ claim!

that was my claim.

i see someone that didn't read.

make that "sticking to the facts".

no, i'm sticking to exactly my original point and not letting this get
twisted.

because it's ignorant?

 

i confront you with your own issues, and you attack the mirror.

 

It's "ignorant"? LOL! So, you *do* think that this is a Unix CLI here,
and not a newsgroup discussion? That's why proper English isn't required
here?

Really?

 

VBoxHeadless is one that I use all the time... ;-)

 

Only a little reading will let you know that you're banging your head
against a wall. See his last reply to me. He's hopeless, and I for one
should know better. Never attempt to teach a pig to sing. It wastes
your time and annoys the pig.

Although Beam doesn't appear to be in touch with reality enough to be
annoyed, he most certainly is not going to approach real life.

self delusion is no solution dave. address the facts - you didn't read
what i wrote properly, and when confronted with that reality, you tried
to squirm your way out of it, finally resorting to bizarre fabrications
and temper tantrum. and all because you took it upon yourself to take
issue with a unix-centric habit that has a value you don't understand.

 

you're twisting the facts - this is indeed not a cli, but i never said
it was. i /did/ say that it's a cli habit. and an highly useful one.
and you can bet your ass it's not one i'm going to kick because some
self-appointed netcop is taking it on himself to waste electrons.


That's why proper English isn't required

as for your netcop activities, either waste electrons uniformly for all
"transgressions" from all users or not at all.

 

well, you're one up on dave and dan. and me.

 

Oh, come on, you Unix guru, you. Anyone with any knowledge about the
subject knows that "VBoxHeadless" is not a *CLI command*. It's the name
of a program that can be typed at the CLI, but it's not a "command".

There are many such examples. BitchX, LimeWire, Thunar, X, and many more.
Again, those are (external) programs that can be started from the command
line, but are not "commands" in the true sense. A "true" command would be
something like a bash builtin, for example, which are generally all
lowercase as far as I know.

I'm surprised you didn't make this distinction, as pedantic as you are.

 

jeepers dude, what next? why isn't TIN on your list? because that's
your newsreader application name, but you invoke it with "tin".

er, i do know this distinction - which is why i made my original point,
but i guess i'm not trying to muddy the water like you.

so now you respond?

 

Most of the "commands" in Linux are external programs. Anything typed
at the cli to achieve a task is a command. You know better, Danny
Boy...

 

Danny boy is best ignored. He is not much more than a troll. He
likes to spend his time in Linux newsgroups jumping on newbies asking
for help. He doesn't know shit, so he tries his best to make others
feel as inferior as himself.

Not unlike the discussion here recently about fuel usage when the car
is in gear, and your foot isn't on the gas. He had no clue what he
was talking about, but felt free to jump in and attack those that know
and accuse them of stupidity. The punk never learns...

If you can get used to him, he can at least be entertaining to a
point, which is why I don't just drop him in the killfile. But don't
expect him to ever have anything useful to say. The next time he does
will be the first...
