"Do one thing well..."

I'm not *positive* this is a comment on the Unix philosophy... but, if
not, I can't think of what else it would be. I like comics. I read a
handful of them with regularity. One of these, you'll be shocked to hear,
is Dilbert. Usually, I get my comic fix over at Yahoo, but, sometimes,
some strips seem to fail to sync from their original sources; this week,
that was Dilbert. I'd always kind of hated the "real" Dilbert page,
though: it's full of ads, and all sorts of other stuff, when all I really
want is the damn comic, and a means to navigate to previous strips.
Today, I noticed a link near the bottom of the page: "Unix/Linux".
Thinking that this might be Unix/Linux-themed strips, I clicked on it.
And was presented with today's strip. Looking at it, I thought to myself,
"How does this relate to Unix/Linux?" Then I realized that the URL
pointed to by the link was "http://www.dilbert.com/fast/", and that the
page was stripped down to navigation of past strips, and the most
rudimentary of advertising.
Some days, I enjoy Scott Adams more than usual.
