It can be a sock puppet. Or someone from Aspievillage. Dunc probably knows that better.

Or it could be just another autistic fellow who just happens to answer to the name Alex. It's not such an uncommon name, you know.

^H (Ctrl-H, actually) is an old keyboard shortcut for Backspace from when emacs was the text editor to use and computers often lacked the backspace button. When Usenet was the Internet, you could sometimes see these strings of ^H, meaning that the author had intended to delete something.

Yeah, I know, this dates me, too.

Some of us can't use emacs - still stuck in vi.

Should we have an emacs-vi flame war, for nostalgia and kicks? ;D

both are tools of the devil, but vi is my kind of evil.  :evillaugh:

used vi for years but still can't use it properly.

and that ^H ^H thing is possibly one of the nerdiest things i've ever seen.. and worrying that i understood what it was as well.

it's worse than the
>rm /bin/laden
joke
or the old "there are 10 kind of people in the world - those that understand binary and those that don't"

sure there are others..

No. I like emacs better - it's just not available everywhere - believe it or not.

That's recent, and therefore the geekiness level is not quite the same.

Awesome.  I'm gonna start using the ^H joke now.  If it annoys you when I do, feel free to minus me ^H odeon.

I don't think it CAN be used properly.

Shouldn't that be
>rm -r /bin/laden
