Anti-foreword to the Unix haters handbook by dmr
It's interesting to see which parts of the handbook are dated, and which are not.  Surely nobody these days would criticize Unix for crashing every few days, or complain that copy and paste doesn't work in X, or about a "massive 3/4 megabyte binary", or `ed`... but `rm` is still an irreversible operation (and versioned filesystems still esoteric).  Pipes still suck, even if all the alternatives are worse.  C programmers still have to deal with manual memory management...
