Oh, damn. I shouldn't have reminded myself. It's been so long since I did this, that I had forgotten all about it, and I'm just happy that I'm working from home, because if I'd been in an office, they'd have come to take me away already, I was laughing so hysterically. Some twisted soul put Mark V Shaney to work on a combination of Bible and UNIX newsgroups. My favourite so far: .. This is supported by Jesus's use of low cost eight bit micros and small amounts of RAM. When you find salvation. .. If God truly loves humankind then why does He create sinners? If human is His creation, then who is the ultimate in all shells? I know at one point Jesus said "no one may come to grips with the cpio header blown away". It speaks of the original ftpd. I am the resident Unix and open systems bigot so much like the resurrection of Jesus only. .. ...with a God who, Paul believes, is constantly concerned with the current FFS implementation. Nevertheless, I vote no because I believe we CAN build robust, reliable, and secure systems with the Lord. Mark V. Shaney Hey, spammers, please start sending me those emails.
