- cvwright 9y agoOK, I can't resist. Time for a story. Once upon a time when the net was still new, a friend of mine (then a Unix newbie) was trying to catch up with another friends' current status. Unfortunately this other colleague had quite a lot of info in their .plan, and so many lines and lines of text scrolled by too fast for my friend to read. Needing a reminder about the syntax of Unix pipes and the "less" command, she turns to the person next to her in the computer lab and asks, "When you're fingering someone, how do you make it go slow?" This poor hapless bystander gives her an absolutely horrified look, backs away slowly, and makes some excuse for a hasty exit. It was only sometime later that my friend realized what she'd asked... :)
