Some people should never crawl out of the woodwork...

This guy needs to stay hidden... This is just too strange of an ad... Maybe there is a reason he can't find another "shelly"

:wtf:

And I thought a bunch of folks who argue endlessly on the merits of cables, watts, tube vs. transistors, and the like, were odd.

See, we're ok!??!:banana:

Getting warm 'n' fuzzy over old radios, TVs, & cars 'n' stuff I understand, but over an obsolete operating system ? Sheesh...

[spartanmanor]

That is just pathetic.

[meggy]

Betcha $5 bucks he gets serious replies.

That is even more pathetic. :no:

[KingBubba]

I'm feeling more normal all the time.

[spaceman]

Actually, I kinda like his "individualism". Most people are too much like sheep, just following the leader. I can't say I agree with his last statement though. ;) BTW, similost, I'm not even gonna ask how you found that ad, lol. :D

It takes all kinds to make the world go around...

Freeeeeeeeeeaks.

what is a shell? i thought he was talking about gasoline at first!

[similost]

he's basically talking about command line only...

find Wife/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep "need woman"

[x_25]

Ha, Shells. There fun but not really practical anymore. I play around with MS DOS and other text based interfaces from time to time but that is just for fun. Although when I started using a computer (at the age of two) my dad gave me a Tandy with a 386 in it running dos with a kermit shell. Still have it around somewhere, although I think it has Windows 3.1 on it.

[saltwater]

hahahahaaha get it now!

[BajaGringo]

Well you know, Valentines Day is approaching and he probably felt inspired to write such a romantic invitation to pursue love in the faraway land of syntax.

But what do I know...

:music:

that proves the guy is crazy!!

Text interfaces are great and all for certain tasks, but this guy takes it to another level. Ever tried to use a text-based web browser?

Yes. It is not pretty. (I actually couldn't figure the darn thing out.)

I'm going to hold off on passing judgement on that one until I see the chicks. :D

Well, he's willing to move [see: IF STONE(ROTATION) > 1 THEN MOSS(PROPAGATION) = 0], and wants kids [C:\COPY A:\DAD\*.DNA+B:\MOM\*.DNA C:\BABY.EXE], so he seems to have a purpose behind all this.

I guess it's better than the old Hacker pickup line: "Wanna connect at 768000?"

[chewy]

:butt1:Holy Crap!

One of the great side effects of good liquor... you drink enough, any girl fits in that description... :tears:

I wouldn't take this posting at face value, it's just a mating display. If the right woman sees this, they'll have an enjoyable relationship. Thing is...this kind of right woman is very, very rare indeed...

He is in the right place I would imagine "the right woman" is probably using the computer vice going to the bars or something!

[vinyldavid]

You know, me finding a girl even close to my interests was about the odds of him finding someone, so it might just happen, if you take this post at face value...

[onepixel]

...and your looking at wanted ads for women, because?

[willyrover]

Just replace all that "shell" nonsense with "vinyl" and related descriptors and it's really not that crazy.

"I'm looking for someone who is willing to raise a child in the way of vinyl..."

Might as well let monkeys raise your child..."shell" and "vinyl" are both such archaic and obsolete technologies....*RUNS AND HIDES*:smoke:

[similost]

...and your looking at wanted ads for women, because?

LOL.. no.. I found it on Slashdot.. Figures they would all be looking.. :scratch2:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Guys, its a joke. :yes: If someone was advertising on craigslist for a woman to raise kids with and teach them from a young age the benefits of expensive cables over merely good ones, or of clocks with stickers, or Marantz over Pioneer (or vice versa), or HPM-100's over ADS L-810's, or the potential benefits and drawbacks of brussels sprouts, would you take the ad seriously?

P.S. can ya guess what I do for a living? :para: I'm a *nix geek. No, it's not my ad. :D
