[I don't *believe* anyone posted this particular tidbit, but I wasn't following the Foxtrot thread that closely; please forgive if a repeat.]
As all die-hard FoxTrot fans know, mister Amend keeps up his own website, http://homepage.mac.com/billamend/ (so he's a phsicist with a soft spot for Macs. Ah, well...). And, if you scroll down a bit, you'll see his surprise at a recent underwear-related strip: Non-Question of the Week: What is a CHMOD? Hard to believe, but NOT ONE READER wrote to ask what the heck the CHMOD 700 * punchline of my Unix underpants strip meant. Clearly the world has gone geek faster than anyone could have predicted. Well done, FoxTrot readers. And for non-FoxTrot readers who might have just stumbled on this site, basically the Unix CHMOD command sets the access privileges of a file or folder, the 700 says to grant full read, write, execute privileges to the user only (meaning outsiders can't have access), and the * says to perform this on the contents. So Jason is setting his underwear to private. ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
