The end guy was really hard.

<Daishi> I only play it cause you gotta know samus is hot under that suit

This could have consequences for sites like bash.org

you better not be contributing to bash.org.

If you need to get help from Linux peolple, follow the advice given here, and you should have no problems getting your questions answered.

That's no more incoherent than half the quotes on Bash

To quote bash.org:

"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet."

The blurb reminds me of this classic. Only six percent of the lobsters survive being frozen.

On the other hand, I seem to recall watching a PBS "Nature" show which included a bit about a species frog (or toad?) that survived the frozen winter through some sort of hibernation, and I have to wonder if that's similar to what is going on with these lobsters.

In the mean time, I'm going to stay away from the lobster ice cream.

<dm> I discovered that you'd never get an answer to a problem from Linux Gurus by asking. You have to troll in order for someone to help you with a Linux problem.
<dm> For example, I didn't know how to find files by contents and the man pages were way too confusing. What did I do? I knew from experience that if I just asked, I'd be told to read the man pages even though it was too hard for me.
<dm> Instead, I did what works. Trolling. By stating that Linux sucked because it was so hard to find a file compared to Windows, I got every self-described Linux Guru around the world coming to my aid. They gave me examples after examples of different ways to do it. All this in order to prove to everyone that Linux was better.
* ion has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<dm> brings a tear to my eye... :') so true..
<dm> So if you're starting out Linux, I advise you to use the same method as I did to get help. Start the sentence with "Linux is gay because it can't do XXX like Windows can". You will have PhDs running to tell you how to solve your problems.
<dm> this person must be a kindred spirit of mine

<Jon^D> I had to cat 8-9 seperate quote files, compare each line in each of them to make sure there weren't any duplicates then sort
<Jon^D> I wrote a nasty perl script to get it donw
<Jon^D> and it didn't work very well
<skank> cat quote*.txt |sort |uniq

*find/replace bombs|guns|warez|porn/fluffy bunnies

There. Now reading my logs would make people think that the Columbine kids and Paris Hilton are really into fluffy bunnies.

Heh, okay, I'll fess up, I sorta borrowed this from a bash.org quote.

this happens...

Was the end guy hard?

[cheapo] haha, this screen appeared on my windows that said "time before shutdown: 60 seconds"
[cheapo] so i turned the windows clock 2 years backwards and now it says "time before shutdown: 729 days" :D:D
[cheapo] i just love windows :D

[#227455]

Windows has a great sense of humor. :-)

I'm on there, on the top 100. Beat that. Me!

Yeah, but perhaps the reserchers have never been here. They'd be singing a different tune...

..and here is the prove.

Nice of you to provide credit to http://www.bash.org/?205633 where someone OTHER than you came up with the poem. Did you think it wouldn't get noticed when that is one of the highest rated quotes on the site?

Quote added as #220288. Thanks for participating. :-)

As soon as I saw a +5 post by an AC, I figured it was plagarized. It's happened to me before elsewhere, but an email to someone got it straightened out.

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

Like this?

The guy admits in a followup that he copied this from bash.org. Here is the original: http://www.bash.org/?106579

I'm fairly certain it was called Unknown Artist - Track 2. That song is bad-ass.

In all seriousness, it was probably some Metallica song from the Black Album (Cliche and litigatable, I know). It made me buy the album, though - which turned out to be both good and bad.

Here and here

Here and here

<pixistix> I like sending out messages in a bottle.
<pixistix> But I'm creative.
<pixistix> "I have been shipwrecked at sea, while bringing an important message."
<pixistix> "Do not, under any circumstances, allow President Kennedy to go to Dallas"

Even better...

To make the movie even more enjoyable, everyone should try to act as described in this LOTR Survival Guide. You may even manage to get a Darwin Award!

<gee-1> we should market heart monitor devices that're like implanted. so if you die, it'll remotely run a program, to like make your computer log in, get on irc, and msg your friends that you're dead

Go ahead, parents. Regulate my internet access (16 year old college student talking here). Just don't block slashdot and bash.org, for the love of god! I mean, to hell with porn, you have to get your priorities straight.

Although it probably would be more like my regulation of their internet access, seeing as how I hold the only passwords to the Sun box which serves as gateway to the internet. Also, I doubt my dad knows Solaris.

Now we've new category of stuffs to search for other than p0rns. :)

bloodninja: Ok baby, we got to hurry, I don't know how long I can keep it ready for you.
j_gurli3: thats ok. ok i'm a japanese schoolgirl, what r u.
bloodninja: A Rhinocerus. Well, hung like one, thats for sure.
j_gurli3: haha, ok lets go.
j_gurli3: i put my hand through ur hair, and kiss u on the neck.
bloodninja: I stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my breeding territory.
j_gurli3: haha, ok, u know that turns me on.
j_gurli3: i start unbuttoning ur shirt.
bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't wear shirts.
j_gurli3: No, ur not really a Rhinocerus silly, it's just part of the game.
bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't play games. They f*cking charge your ass.
j_gurli3: stop, cmon be serious.
bloodninja: It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ass.
bloodninja: I stomp my feet, the dust stirs around my tough skinned feet.
j_gurli3: thats it.
bloodninja: Nostrils flaring, I lower my head. My horn, like some phallic symbol of my potent virility, is the last thing you see as skulls collide and mine remains the victor. You are now a bloody red ragdoll suspended in the air on my mighty horn.
bloodninja: Goddam am I hard now.


(Original post from bash.org

but having a day job precludes me from being familiar with the language of "the streets" and as such I am not "down" with it.

The great philosopher dm brings you the best way to get help with Linux.

...will the Linux devs doing that become rich and famous? If I knew of a way, I'd integrated it waaaay deep in my OS and make my own insanely profitable desktop OS monopoly...

Hey! bash.org resembles that remark!

(Funniest damn web site you'll ever read. Follow that link, and I personally guarantee that you'll get no work done for at least a week!

Distributed backups is another thing I'd like to have now, rather than tomorrow...

How about this?

<xterm> The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I assume you've never been to bash.org...

Did someone say [SA]HatfulOfHollow?

Good one, but at least give credit where it's due. (Any earlier examples?)

Ah, St Anger... I'm reminded of this quote from bash.org:

<Movis> the evil Napster kiddies made Lars Ullrich so poor he had to sell his snare drum & replace it with a tin can

Ok, not as funny as the IRC top 50, but I tried.

(ack! A 'Troll' mod!) I see no one reads the bash.org quotes quite as religiously as I. Here it is fresh from the QDB:

"There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't."
That's only 2 types of people, kow.

I'd hate to be this guy.
