Jansfer – 长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海

一篇生成时间为2007-11-21的征婚启事，摘要如下：这是一个悲伤的事实，我属于那种被人们称为“命令行用户”的即将灭绝的种族。我们这群已过时的家伙，宁愿陪伴散发出温柔绿光的屏幕，文字铺满那冷色方块状的图形界面。我们使用sh，scp，偶尔也用ftp….因为我们的数量太稀少了，我必须让本血统延续下去。我正在寻求某人帮助我完成这一使命。我需要一位女性（显而易见），乐意与我用Unix的方式生孩子。我们将让孩子在很小的时候就接触电脑，在其它孩子阅读之前就能设置emacs mode。我有足够的收入让这个家庭过得舒服….如果你是位23到43之间的女性，愿意以命令行的方式生孩子，请通知我，让我们一起完成这一进程（如果你愿意生一个以上的孩子，那就更好了）。 当然，/.的评论更有意思。

Help me keep the shell people alive.

There is a sad truth to the world today. I am part of a dying breed of people known as "shell users." We are an old-fashioned bunch, preferring the warm glow of a green screen full of text over the cold blockiness of a graphical interface. We use ssh, scp, and even occassionally ftp. Back in the days before high-speed connections ("broadband"), we would dial up during off-hours to avoid being slammed with huge phone bills. The whole "Microsoft Windows" fad will fade away sooner or later, but in the interim, our kind is facing extinction.

Because there are fewer and fewer of us, I must help keep our lineage alive. I am looking for someone to help me do this. I need a woman (obviously) who is willing to raise a child with me in the method of Unix. Our child will be introduced to computers at a young age, and will be setting emacs mode before any other child can even read. I earn a sufficient income to support a family in modest comfort. Other than the fact our child will be bright, text-based and sarcastic, we will otherwise be a normal family. We will even go to Disney World and see Mickey Mouse.

So, if you are a woman between the ages of 23 and 43 who is ready to raise a child in the way of the shell, let me know so we can begin the process. (If you are ready to raise more than one child, even better.)

PS – yes, this is for real. Given the right person, I would obviously propose before we … call fork().
PPS – I only set emacs mode for my ksh session. I only edit files using vi. Just wanted to clear that up. And I\’m looking to raise the child(ren) as a dedicated couple, so if you aren\’t interested in being married, you may wish to select() a different posting.

N.B. – on the issue of relocation. I live in a place where my income/expense ratio is proper (i.e., greater than 2:1). I\’m willing to live anywhere in the world where this remains true. I\’ve been to much of the country as well as foreign nations. There are no limits to where I will live *so long as the job market for unix admins is robust enough to be sustainable.* And yes, I am interested in a strictly monogamous situation. I\’ve been known to actually turn down offers of "two chicks at the same time."
