You're a piece of work.
Let's compare clippings, published material, industry awards, editorial boards, and personal achievement awards, shall we? We'll skip resumes and go for the shiney guts, okay? Unless you'd rather trot out resumes. That would be okay with me too.
You've never owned a Mac. You've never used one. You've read about them. You've heard about them. You've formed an opinion about them, though. And in your "expert" opinion, you don't like them because...well...because... Come to think of it you haven't really said.
Now quick. Tell me what I'm doing with this statement:
awk '/LOG REWOUND|LOG STARTED/ { print FILENAME, $0 }' NTX.* | sort -k6 | awk '{print $1}' | xargs bleh.pl >result.out
You have exactly 3 minutes.
Bonus question: Which of the platforms I mentioned would support this?
You can't answer a single question - but that is some mighty fine tap dancing you are doing. Lots of hot air but no details,
Lets try this again.
I think you have proven yourself to be a phony - but you can prove me wrong by answering the questions:
1. You claim to have entered the computer industry in 1976 yet can't name what system(s) you were working on.
2. You claim in your business the Mac "opens" technology doors yet you have failed to describe ONE of these magic doors.
2. You claim in your business the Mac comes in at a better price point than other systems yet you completely failed to explain how that heck that could be possible.
If you are not blowing "Mac Smoke" up everybody's butt, you should be able to easily answer these question.
You've never owned a Mac.
Wrong. I own one right now. (you are really making a fool out of yourself)
You've never used one.
WRONG. I have used them a couple of times and evaluated the feasibility of releasing my companys software on the platform (see how stupid you make yourself look what you boldly make statements of which you are completely ignorant?)
Now quick. Tell me what I'm doing with this statement:
awk '/LOG REWOUND|LOG STARTED/ { print FILENAME, $0 }' NTX.* | sort -k6 | awk '{print $1}' | xargs bleh.pl >result.out
It is awk code (something I do not use) it is reading something out of a file, formatting it and outputting it the file resulte.out or something like that I could look up that syntax. The awk language (that focuses mainly on file related activities)(it is sort like Rexx on VM) is primarily a Unix thing though I believe it ported to most platforms.
Now are you going to answer the questions I asked a while ago or ar you just a poser?
