There is a sad truth to the world today. I am part of a dying breed of people known as "shell users." We are an old-fashioned bunch, preferring the warm glow of a green screen full of text over the cold blockiness of a graphical interface. We use ssh, scp, and even occassionally ftp. Back in the days before high-speed connections ("broadband"), we would dial up during off-hours to avoid being slammed with huge phone bills. The whole "Microsoft Windows" fad will fade away sooner or later, but in the interim, our kind is facing extinction.
I just thought this was brilliant. Basically, the guy wants to find a wife who will bear him a child to whom he can teach the ways of the terminal. Personally, I think we need more parents willing to teach their children the ways.
In unrelated news, I still don't have anything to write about, so my only content will probably continue to come from StumbleUpon. Sorry

"I would obviously propose before we … call fork()." Hahaha. Wait, I just found myself reading your blog, someone find me a life!
