Yes, buying shit loads of crappy solutions from any vendor without
even understanding the basic concepts is not being retarded. Hey it
works ! and they pay me ! Fuck that.

If you had done your homework you would know that the early 90s is
UNIX dark age. UNIX was never intentend to reach everyone, we despised
intel and PC in the 80s mainly cause the architecture is plain lame,
so stop whining and trying to change a 40 years old culture, or move
to the so called "The New Hackers Culture", "The New Hackers Bullshit"
if I may.

Providing service to users ? what kind of world do you live, just
because we expect the user to know better than the designer ? We
provide mechanism not policy, policy dies, mechanism stays. Who the
fuck uses a computer if not users ? Your definition of service is
utterly flawed, in order to use the service UNIX provides you're
required not to be stupid.
