Copy this OK/Cancel: On Unix Command Lines and Pianos
On how the command line is to a Unix weenie like the keyboard to a pianist "I call this class of interface 'mastery interfaces', and they are curious because they are amazingly unusable to beginners and effortlessly usable to 'experts'. This characteristic creates something of an odd social dynamic amongst the userbase. The experts can barely (if at all) re-acquaint themselves with the frustrations that newbies face, and thus have very few (and skewed) insights on how to make the system more broadly usable."

Copy this jwz on Linux Solutions (tm)
"I've been saturated with Unix-peanut-gallery effluvia for so long that it no longer even surprises me when every question -- no matter how simple -- results in someone suggesting that you either A) patch your kernel or B) change distros. It's inevitable and inescapable, like Hitler."

Copy this Guess which site is Google's #1 hit for the search string "http"
I typed in "http;//ubuntulinux.com" by mistake, and had a hard time figuring out how I ended up where I did This is all Knoppix' fault. It supplied me with a choice of US, German, or French keyboard, all of which suck for me. (Serves me right for not getting Gnoppix instead. Or, welp, the Ubuntu Live CD, which is what I am downloading now.) ... And partially Firefox's, for having the "I'm feeling lucky" button as the default for Google keywords.
