Useless Use Of Cat.[0]

Why is it that you constantly prove your lack of knowledge on LAD? Looks
like you don't even know the most basic UNIX commands. That is:

adi@chopin:~$ ls -l /dev/hpet
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 228 Nov 7 16:03 /dev/hpet

"ll" has historically been an alias for "ls -l" on some systems, let's
say SuSE 4.x ;)

I suggest you check what the "D" in "LAD" stands for and ask yourself if
this is really the right audience for your Linux n00b questions.

Holy shit, wait, is that one a demonstration of a "useless use of reply in e-mail"? Good one!

People should _never_ post aliases. What SuSE or corporationX/distributionY does is their useless business, and customers/users should never bring the resulting useless habits outside.

There are countless users on this and related lists (there is no way to bar them from subscribing) who possess such useless knowledge, maybe we should start crucifying them for being uselessly inferior?

Oh wait, sorry. Ignore this (yet another useless) reply!
