Don’t leave us hanging. Who won the argument?

They made a movie that dramatized the accidents really well:

Start saving for old age now. It might seem like a long way off, and you might not have much money right now to begin with, but being young and poor is way better than being old and poor.

Man it sure is crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.

Funny “Haha” or funny “Uh Oh”?

A .tar archive is basically only the files cat’ed together, with a header and index added, right?

Tar does not include an index. It’s just the headers and data cat’ed together. You have to read from the beginning of the archive until you find the file you want. This is exacerbated if the archive is also gzipped, since you have to decompress all the files leading up to the one you want, as opposed to skipping over them as you could do in an uncompressed tar archive.

So why is there no archive format that just cat’es the compressed files together?

That’s essentially what a zip archive does. Each file is compressed separately and cat’ed together with uncompressed headers in between. Also zip archives do have an index which is what allows for random access and easy changes. The downside is that the compression ratio of a zip archive can be worse than a tar.gz archive.

1945 is a very cherry-picky cutoff.

Yes, unless it’s an element of a crime like fraud or theft.

Ask Robespierre how that works out.
