wouldn't the hardest part be figuring out what tar command to run?
tar xis pretty easy, isn't it? Ortar xfif they need to specify the input file/device.Woosh.
If you're implying that I didn't recognize someone taking a jab at a unix command, then no, not whoosh. I got that. It doesn't make a clever or funny joke, though, because the command they chose to ridicule is easy, and is the same in other archive tools like 7z and rar.
If you think something else went over my head, then perhaps you could enlighten me by saying what you mean.
