It's a wide ranging chat over time and space all coming together in technological embrace
I'm just a brand newbie who appreciates the techs as they rant about computers with the passion of sex They fix each others' bugs and they argue 'bout style and how they can retrieve that mis-deleted file. I'm talking about a mailgroup with no nitwits a discussion of the gods it's gaffle's own bits do do-dah, do do do-dah do do-dah, do do do-dah just this morning i was happy to find a no-brain needing script from a bits-er so kind patching a hole in the [sic] secure shell to keep my linux box safe my super user super swell but there was a funny line in the simple execution that my young eyes noticed it arroused my intuition i couldn't see why there was no dot slash in front of 'configure' was it some bullshit with bash? oh no no no my tech support mentioned it means you are open to attack no matter how good intentioned and I learned a new thing and I never felt baffled until i noticed dissent that the thread had been gaffled I saw a man skewered for his general relativity a technical argument that drifted from civility I know the guy's opinions and his absolutist stance that calculus with roman numerals doesn't give you a chance was a little confused that the thread got so heated with the gafflers united why he never retreated but with gentle words by some and stronger by a few I'll keep the dot from my path a secure super-U this is thanks for the discussions, the advice and the knowledge the clever tech solutions stuff I never learned in college the Register's fine squishdot gets a lot of hits but for the best tech news it's gaffles own bits. (a side discussion suggested I should write a rap, and i have a slow day like a lot of posters...
