Wouldn't it be better to convert the time to Unix timestamp? :^)

I'm just trying to think of an operating system that can't do this... maybe MS-DOS?

Kek, if you were on Windows you would've discovered "libraries" and used them seamlessly for years already.
Year of the Linux desktop, when?

Your home server is the one that should initiate the connection, if your seed box gets hacked your server will also get owned.

Hell, reparse points under Windows 2000.

It's a good system if you know what happens when you "X".

For most people when they use their computers they just want it to run

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

This is why everyone hates you, both online and IRL, user.

And for these people, Android without root is ideal. They even choose it, so they're good.

OTOH consider user wrote on Jow Forums, so really, there should be no one here that doesn't know when you "X" on Linux.

the hell do you mean by "X"

Wat? This doesn't even make sense.

Of course you want /d/e/ removed as though they were in the folder. You literally symlinked them there.

The idea is that they appear as though they were directly there, not find-ing or rm-ing or touch-ing or vim-ing or whatever you could do recursively would be very unintuitive.

The same as

Fuck off cunt, Linus has SPOKEN. Why don't you call GCC Linux compiler? Also this pasta is stale and it's not funny. It's just shows how much of a brainlet you are.

What font is that?

>windows
open cmd, write mklink
much blessing
