The 2980x cpu is mounted onto a ASUS Zenith II motherboard (good) and is liquid cooled (quieter than air fans) by a Kraken cooler and bitchen a$$ Corsair Dominator Memory. (must be good memory)
You know you want it.

We have "Ripper", "Extreme" and "Dominator".
That's what they'll do to your wallet

Hi all, I incorrectly awarded digimanus the winner by not paying enough attention to his answer - the answer is fearsome and Griff got it - so apologies to everyone for the confusion - OG you are up tomorrow

The instructor was talking about awk, and how it was named from the authors' initials. But he had no idea who Brian Kernighan was, other than one of the three who created awk.
Admittedly, it is a Linux course, but you'd think the instructor would know at least a little bit about the history of Unix. For Pete's sake, Brian named the dang thing, if nothing else.
(Or do I just think that's important because I grew up down the road from Bell Labs? )

IIRC Aho and Weinberg were the other two.

And you would be correct - a very useful tool AWK

And I was just using it myself - gawk anyway, both in Cygwin and in Gow (Home · bmatzelle/gow Wiki · GitHub) since I was on Windows. I was totaling up some fields in some CSV's.

I agree with you completely. I think you have to know at least alittle bit of history so you can fully understand how things got to be the way they are now. And ignoring who Mr. Ritchie was is like calling you acomic book fan but ignore who Superman is, Dennis Ritchie was and still is on of the, if not THE mos influential oerson, programer, developer, architecht in the history of Computer Science.

always painful when people start telling stories and themselves forget the ending or worse, already lost half way through
teacher: "blah blah story blah [pause] ...well anyway that doesn't matter,my point is ..."
class thought: 'well sure! thanks for wasting my time, are we going to learn something today?.'
(although less bad if someone else is paying for you to take the course)

Free. Well, free to me, anyway. I'm sure the company paid someone, somewhere, sometime.

What's important is that he knows the important things to teach anyone learning Linux and he probably just wanted to get onto them ASAP....how to get a Windows VM running on it so you can actually be productive.

a Linux course, is that a course that you compile yourself ? 
I'd rather be phishing!

You grade yourself.
Then you send the results to Linus Torvalds, who then immediately proceeds to tear you a new one.

My main rule says that any technology that is still associated with some person, is immature.
(This doesn't include when the technology, or elements of it, is named after someone; naming doesn't count as associating the technology as such with the person as such.)

I just got fired from my job because I kept asking my customers whether they would prefer “Smoking” or “Non-smoking”.
Apparently the correct terms are “Cremation” and “Burial”...
