I hope libtool dies soon. Very soon.
At least I understand why there is so little up-to-date open source
software available for AIX. People give up. It takes away the fun.

In my score list on Radio Paradise, Radiohead scores an avarage of
1.05405405405405, which only Coldplay, Simple Minds, Starsaylor and
U2 can beat.

patches for you to choose from, and also doesn't
tell you in advance that applying this patch needs a reboot.
Instead of that, they took the hateful easy way out and start with a message
that applying the patch might or might not need a reboot. Very helpful
indeed :/

ly a mouse user, is easy to `click' the default
(wrong) choice of *now*, with a space or return, two keys that are used quite
often. Very very friendly if you are typing a mail or using putty or some
other useful text entry application and didn't look at the screen, but at the
keyboard when

Define 'clever'. M$ Excel has always managed to make me curse when using
it's convertor(s) and `do-the-right-thing'. So far their cleverness has
managed to *never* do the-right-thing (TM)

untrue. Following up on Abigail's hate, there have been numerous
times in the recent month that I typed 'ex -v' just to NOT get into
some vi clone like gvim or vim.
And hate to the (Linux) distro's that also replace ex with some vim
clone!

info is so useless, that it is automatically deleted after
installation of any GNU^Wutility that generates it and installs it.
Even if you print out i
morons available in IT world?
E.g. why would an *electronic* system reject a payment in the future

Why reset all data you have entered and decide to pay from another

I guess there is no end in ranting about Internet banking.

FWIW the best intuitive editor I ever used was 'shed' on Primos, and the
best `strange' editor was one, I forgot it's name, on VMES or something,
a custom OS specific for VME-bus systems with MC680x0 CPU's.

Try to fill in an American form with H.Merijn Brand. Most will complain
that that name is invalid, ad they expect Whoever X. Brand instead.
