Emacs. Bizarre Findings
Advertisements
Contribution of Josh Sand
I have been digging around in /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/ recently, and I have found it is chock full of goodies, and possibly worth of an article on UsingMac.
Files I have found (put line in Terminal):
Interview with Richard Stallman
Who is Richard Stallman? Let's Wikipedia It.
cat /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/INTERVIEW
Hello in Every Language
By executing this Terminal line, you can learn how to say "Hello" in every language.
emacs /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/HELLO
Fun Stuffs
Some cheesy GNU puns, EMACS acronyms, and some funny developers dialogue. I personally love it when one of the authors gets irritated with the bash, and tells it to "eat flaming death".
cat /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/JOKES
Developers' Humorous Lines
cat /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/DEVEL.HUMOR
Developer Naughtiness: Sex
cat /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/sex.6
Developer Naughtiness: Condom
cat /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/condom.1
Other Bizarre Stuffs
From strange article about motivation and rewards up to unusual censorship report in software.
cat /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/MOTIVATION cat /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/CENSORSHIP cat /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/yow.lines

LOL, so OS X is packed with all these things???

The files aren't technically on "Mac OS X", they are hidden (kind of) in the files for "emacs". Still bundled with every Mac OS X though. :P

wow, wonder what else is hidden...

I especially like the jokes about GNU. If you're wondering how to get out of emacs press control-x control-c.

This stuff comes with emacs not with the mac.

@Linux Geek "This stuff comes with emacs now with mac." Not mutually exclusive. Mac OS X ships with GNU Emacs. It only runs in the terminal though since the included build is without windowing-system support.
dude
