There's an article I won't read! |

I believe the phrase is " proprietary vendors such as Unix and Microsoft." While I would have put Microsoft first, I don't see your problem with this. Unix is proprietary. |

I undestand; but "Unix" is not a vendor. Finding misrepresentations that basic does not bode well for any sense in the rest of the article. |

Might he have intended "UNIX vendors"? I think he just handled the phrasing in an awkward way. It's hard to know for sure though. |

ya know, anyone can make a mistake, or worse, be afflicted with poor-quality editors. don't judge a whole article without reading the whole article. |

tuxchick2: >"be afflicted with poor-quality editors" Hey! I resemble that remark! |

> Hey! I resemble that remark! We all do grouch... Only tuxchick has that perfect editor and spells perfectly to boot :). |

jimf: Yeah, and she has that audible ping thing she won't share. |

Groich: for audible ping you have to probe the pcspkr module. Does it for me. |

mvermeer: I don't think I compiled that with my current kernel. Anyway, my ping is defective and won't recognize the option so I have to use other means to annoy people within hearing. |

grouch, generating a good active batch of healthy bowel tones is the best method for annoying anyone in hearing range. It's even funnier when they try to be polite and not notice. |
