I've got a surprise for you.

Go to Network Utility, click the "Finger" tab and then read the first sentence.

The first who looks at it gets a laugh.

Oh how juvenile. I love it

 

[TheAnoyingApple]

I know its awesome right... I think they did it on purpose.

 

[HLdan]

Oh my, that's strange that they did that.

- Hey, could you maybe post a screen dump? I would love to see it, but I don't have a Mac with me right now...

[JTToft]

- Hilarious. Thanks.

 

[ouimetnick]

I got the joke, but that is sure strange that Apple would put that in.

 

[akramer]

I guess I don't find it funny because that wording has been used for decades: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc742

I don't know how long the colloquial meaning has existed for.

 

[calvy]

I don't get how this is any more hilarious than laughing when someone says "that server is taking a dump". Just because out of context it sounds funny does not mean it is inappropriate. Finger is a network utility that has been around a lot longer than most of us in this forum probably have.

"The finger(ing) has started."

This is a standard term. The only humor in it, is what you read into it. Otherwise, nothing funny about it.

You have to admit it is pretty crack-up

strip touch finger mount fsck more yes sleep

All standard Unix commands.

 

[psingh01]

Finger is a pretty good tool to see who is logged onto a system. Then fingering that user lets you see information about that account. Sometimes they include little messages or ascii art. Not that useful for your average Mac user, but I used it a lot when I was in college and had a unix account. It was the only way to access the school's e-mail system (back then email still had the hyphen )

 

[Rithem]

This thread is win. At least for the juvenile minds
