I am curious who we are, how did we come to unix/linux and what/why do we use unix?

1. I am aerospace engineer
2. I am from Seattle WA USA
3. I first came to unix though work
4. I have duel pc/linux sys at home but mostly just remote into my companies system
5. I do unix all day at work, I am not able to do anything with data by hand, I will always script it
6. I love unix because it takes the mystery out of computers


In a world where people still think the “mouse” was a step forward I just want to know who else understands the beauty of the following one liner, do you have a oneliner too?


N0ll

Can't say that I have ever seem prime number identification done in an awk oneliner before!

you can cram a long program into one line too.

awk has double precision arithmetic operations, so you are limited to DBL_DIG precision - see your /usr/include/limits.h for more information....
