Evil Unix guy

[gustgr]

Even though it's been almost three years since I first saw this video, it still cracks me up.

[eMGeeGFX]

He must've been a big VMS enthusiast!

[rebelpersev]

Count Dante?

[Octostatue]

In 2010 Unix becomes self aware...

[bamdadkhan]

@Octostatue which one? :DDD

[Octostatue]

@bamdadkhan Fedora of course ;)

[stopthrm]

@Octostatue Nope. It crashed instead... Damn Ubuntu 10.01 I reloading 9.04

[dreiss]

In case anybody is wondering, this is heavily edited and from an early 1980's commentary Paul Schindler did on "Computer Chronicles", an old TV show about computers that was on PBS for years. It's somewhere around 25 years old. So, people should understand that before they fly off the handle about what he said.

[geekymarianne]

back at the sort of time this clip was probably made, there were problems with many different, incompatible unix systems existing. now, however, we only have a few major unix-likes - linux, bsd, solaris, mac os x etc. while it is still true that code for one platform doesn't always run on another, usually code is fully portable, or only needs a few tweaks to transfer between different systems, and this is one of the big advantages of open source, which is a more recent concept than unix itself.

[grinick]

You have aspergers.

:)

[geekymarianne]

yep, and proud of it!

[grinick]

What's the music?

[utdgrant]

The theme music from 'Das Boot' by Klaus Doldinger.

[4izm0v]

I love Unix, too bad Unix doesn't love me back :(

[tedorcon]

Make that 7 people will find this funny...

[moonlitmurloc]

NO! Unix will infiltrate my computer! I'd better install Nortron Anti-Unix-Interweb-AntiSpy-Ant­iAd-Security Software Suite in order to protect myself!

[gleepglopp]

its not fair unix is taking over the worldwebs

[gustgr]

By the way, this video is funny as hell. Damn people, it is just a prank. If you don't understand even that, die already.

[whiteguysamurai]

The internet, the only place where one man's opinion, no matter if he has merit or not, can be insulted for no reason at all.

[gustgr]

That was the smartest thing I saw begin said here in youtube.

[gustgr]

My last post was a reply to whiteguysamurai (damn you youtube!).

[Charlietheleet]

*nix is unix like for all your tech junkies posting shit down there , anyone who watches this video already knows what hes watching

[AcePilot101]

I hate UNIX and Mac OSX.

I love MS-DOS and Windows XP..

Bill Gates is a great American and Steve Jobs

is a gay Nazi!!

Mac is a toy computer for idiots!!

[Ash360H2o]

lolz Dude get a Mac! I am sure if Steve is gay you'll be his bitch!!!!

[Melvinyoder]

I agree with you on mac, but really windows is GAY

[Aentieon]

MS-DOS is a little bit based on Unix commands. I totally agree with your opinion on Mac, lol.

[tapo]

Read up on CP/M.

[arranmc182]

Funny as hell and AT&T sold off unix years ago that why Sun Microsystems can now do OpenSolaris all Unix operating systems all have the same core stuff in the HP-UX, Solaris, BSD & Even Mac Os cus its based on BSD all carry some code that is the same on all off them other than that they are verry diff operating systems back when unix was new thgey all basicly had the same code so wrighting programs for Unix was simple

[Iamsdrich]

good point. Unix is not Open Source nor is it a free product. And yes there are several flavors of Linux around. Choosing one is part of the decision making process in how the end user interfaces with it. Could be why MS is so interested in branching out to other industries, it knows the end is near.

[gustgr]

ahah, LMFAO!

[hakware]

And it's kind of ridiculous to tie the UNIX label in to being derived from the original Bell UNIX, as only the proprietary unices can do that, and even so, due to the IP problems, only one such UNIX can technically legally exist. Also, BSD (and I believe also a few of the commercial unices), while originally containing Bell UNIX code, had to rewrite all such code in order to appease AT&T.

[hakware]

Linux is not fully posix compliant (almost, but not completely). This isn't considered a big deal among Linux kernel developers. But, as POSIX compliance is what determines the right of X/Open to allow an OS to call itself a UNIX, that makes Linux *technically* not a UNIX. Of course, functionally, it is.

[MacOSXrulez]

like darkheart220982 said, Linux is not the same when it comes to kernel but the commands are the same which is why it is called Unix-like or Unix based, and even though you might not believe this Mac OS X Leopard is fully UNIX compliant and it can run any POSIX-compliant source code and Leopard is now an Open Brand UNIX 03 Registered Product, conforming to the SUSv3 and POSIX 1003.1 specifications for the C API, Shell Utilities, and Threads.

[nickiank]

"I should be using a can opener instead of a screwdriver to open this can of tomato juice" + evil synth music + angry turd = comedy gold. I laughed so hard I cried. Really!

[uniteddeathtechnolog]

so did I.. and I even made it.. laughed for hours.. especially because of the word "bunkum".

[stopthrm]

@nickiank I'm laughing at you cause every word he said was true. I'm a programer. I have used Unix based systems(Linux) and I totallly agree. UAnix is NOT user friendly and is NOT as intuitive as windows making it ultimatly inferior OS that may have been aceptable to use 20 years ago, but has failed to adapt to the industry with the exceptiong of Red Hat, OpenSuse, Mandriva, and CentOS. 'Ubuntu' is still by far a clunky OS compared to the aformentioned.

[edsexton]

this was soooo funny, and anyone who posts linux is not unix is dumb. anything that runs 'ls' is unix. get over it.

[urbanexcess]

what an idiot you are

[arranmc182]

edsexton are you a dumbass Linux is just the Kernal of the Operating System the the too set which is uses is called GNU and do u know wat GNU stands for it stands for GNU's Not Unix because its a hole now set of tools that do what the unixx tool set does so in fact its not unix its a clone get it right

[TheGreatestGreatApe]

lol

[loviustrade2007]

esto es una pendejada

[Arayziel]

Oh my god it's Che.

[BlackHatLinwix]

Viva NT Kernel!

All the other kernels valen mierda.

[hocobo]

haha this is so funny

[Jakedunc]

Now this is the biggest shit I've ever seen.

Ubuntu rules!

[ceubanks06]

ubuntu is linux, not unix

[granitfaust]

linux based on unix

[granitfaust]

no wait i´ve been wrong. linux is an unixish OS not and not based on it. if unix/unics makes the first platform kernel, then dos even run on it.

[darkheart220982]

GNU/Linux is not unix. It has different kernel and is open. The only similarity with unix is a bunch of commands. Nothing else.

[granitfaust]

So let´s make an new OS with graphical interface on the original unics kernel!

[svadonia]

In other words, BSD and Solaris.

[Aentieon]

The Linux kernel is very Unix-Like, it doesn't matter what distro it is.

[nitewaves77]

I remember the first time this aired (mid-80s). At the time, he was dead right. Now, now so right. ;)

[czesiek512]

Linux is not unix, meh me not in teh 6 ppl who found it funny

[vtdop]

Sounds like the Antitux. DOOM.

[shenanigan87]

LoL, and the music from Das Boot, just crazy...

[brianreading]

This was freakin' hilarious. Good job!

[JenovaXiu]

More like 1 person, amirite?

[rixoff]

Heh. Nice ripoff from Computer Chronicles! The funny thing is, this interview is 20 years old.

[uniteddeathtechnolog]

It's funnier this way than it was in the computer chronicles.

[odoncaoa]

Real good tongue in cheek. Becuase if it isn't the existence of 'iPodLinux' sure kicks the 'Evil Unix Guy's' ass!!! 'Evil Unix Guy' would be much funnier if you could get Jobs, or Woz to do the presentation, next time! For the unaware, however, its an either/or. Either you were introduced early on to the *ux world or you weren't. Evolution has finally to brought us to the point, however where we longer need to pay ransome for Windoze!!

[whetphish]

Hehe. Funny video but I disagree - code is normally fairly portable. biffsocko: what has Linux got to do with UNIX? Sweet FA is what! Viva UNIX!!!

[nathinnizzle]

haha well yeah if its IBM and HP !

[trashemailaddress]

lmfao... i guess i'm #3, i thought it was hilarious... loved how the swirly effect had HP-UX and AIX in it LOL

[benchodbosrino]

I don't think it's funny, he's right. I don't understand why people are trying to stuff it into every corner like it's some kind of spray on insulator.

[biffsocko]

because UNIX/Linux is a more powerful OS then anything on the market today.

[michaelbarnes1234]

um...he makes a good argument, but why is this a joke?

[GegoXaren]

humm... WTF!?!

haven't he heard of make?

[plasticboob]

That's f'in hilarious, count me as one of the six. :) I haven't laughed that hard in a while, especially when his face turns red as he says "USER HOSTILE". I love how his hate slowly comes to a boil...hahaha classic.

[uniteddeathtechnolog]

I'm glad I found 2/6 so far

[DusteDdekay]

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA, im one of the 6 =)

Not only is it a spoof of da plague from hackers,

the song is some remix of "Das Boot" =)

The guy in the clip is from some ooold tv program about unix, from when unix were "new" :)

[uniteddeathtechnolog]

actually it's the original das boot music, most people know the song from the techno remix though

[DusteDdekay]

Ohh, kewl, thank you! :D Yeah, the first i heard was the U96 version but i knew that werent the original :)

[lejeunerandy]

Yeah, watch out guys, VMS is making a comeback.

[Coolman25]

I guess i'm not one of those six people.
