Oxford says Apple's OS X is a Linux distro 3218

Sandman

Still snipping *all* of it, right, Sandman? The "Snot technique". You are unable to answer, so you snip just everything And you even claim that this has nothing to do with OSX. You are wrong, naturally, since this thread is about *your* claims of OSX being "easier to use" than linux. And your total, complete inability to support your claims with so much as shreds of "facts" Instead you think that snipping all and trying to send the thread to "alt.flame" will score you any points

Here, let me help you, Sandman I will repost for you, to make it easier to actually respond to some facts you rather would not:

Sandman

Your reading comprehension problems kick in again. He did not say that OSX can't handle shell scripts. He mentioned a specific task. An extremely simple one for linux. Very easy to use. You have dodged for weeks the answer how you would do it at all in OSX. Not "easier", "as easy" or so, as you claimed that OSX is "easier to use" Nope, by now even a description "how to do it at all" would be something

Apparently not. You fail consistently to come up with a solution

Well, intelligent people Êwould notice the complete absence of a solution on your part. Especially one which is "easier to use". This seems to say something about you and your connection to "intelligent people"

Strawman enough. Build your next case after you solved the present one

Does he need to? You are suposed to show how to do the task at hand "easier to use" in OSX, not him. But that's the problem: You don't seem able to show us

Well, nice shooting in the foot. There simply was no "ease of use" in that sentence. Not even implied. He talked about his "preferences" with developer packages But thats OK. You are a Mac-user. That explains a lot

Fine. Then show us. For the very first time You have a task, outlined above. Show how to do it

a) at all in OSX b) as easy as in linux c) easier (to use) in OSX than in linux

For the time being, any one would be way more than you provided up to now For your "ease of use" claim b) would barely cope, but only c) would be allright to support your "easier to use" claim

So far you have not even provided a) -- The probability of someone watching you is proportional to the stupidity of your action.
