bit of geek humor - linux nuts only

[CMonster]

I still don't get why an "argument" is the object of a "command" .... but I suppose it makes sense, if you go around commanding all the time an argument is inevitable

[crouse]

lame as a 3 legged horse.....

[nukes]

not just inevitable, but most of the time vital for your command to be obeyed

"command line arguments"

-is that anything like "chorus line dancers"

If SCO won their suit agains Linux, I would purchase a license rather than give up Linux... er, wait, I already purchased Caldera OpenLinux 1.3, 2.2, 2.3, eDesktop 2.4, and even Caldera OpenLinux 2.4 Technology Preview....

-the "OJ" jury would have an easier time understanding DNA evidence than finding merit to SCO's claims

You can take my Linux OS away from me when you pry the keyboard from my cold dead fingers...


A rare glimpse of Billy G.'s homework:

"The life of John D. Rockefeller in intimate detail." A biography by William Henry Gates

I think the meaning of the word 'argument' in the "joke" fits one or more of these:
. 4. Logic. The minor premise in a syllogism. 5. Mathematics. The independent variable of a function. The amplitude of a complex number. 6. Computer Science. A value used to evaluate a procedure or subroutine
