<gmaxwell> 1960: "I have a great idea! lets have every person in the country carry a radio tracking beacon!" "That'll never fly!" 2012: "I can has TWO iphones??"

Sounds like this guy: http://www.bash.org/?500338

This is a real troll. And a good one (even if it's not true):

http://www.bash.org/?244321

Am I the only one that gets the hunter2 reference? http://www.bash.org/?244321

http://bash.org/?search=hunter2&sort=0&show=25

FYI: bash.org

From bash.org :

Cthon98: hey, if you type in your pw, it will show as stars
Cthon98: ********* see!
AzureDiamond: hunter2
AzureDiamond: doesnt look like stars to me
Cthon98: AzureDiamond: *******
Cthon98: thats what I see
AzureDiamond: oh, really?
Cthon98: Absolutely
AzureDiamond: you can go hunter2 my hunter2-ing hunter2
AzureDiamond: haha, does that look funny to you?
Cthon98: lol, yes. See, when YOU type hunter2, it shows to us as *******
AzureDiamond: thats neat, I didnt know IRC did that
Cthon98: yep, no matter how many times you type hunter2, it will show to us as *******
AzureDiamond: awesome!
AzureDiamond: wait, how do you know my pw?
Cthon98: er, I just copy pasted YOUR ******'s and it appears to YOU as hunter2 cause its your pw
AzureDiamond: oh, ok.

It's a reference to something that happened in IRC. http://www.bash.org/?244321

Contrast the above with IRC:
<tomfoolery> there's a small fire burning in my room
<beretta> lemme guess im supposed to act suprised that you're telling us and not making any attempt to extinguish it, so i can submit it to bash where it will join the ranks of the other "SOMETHING CATOSTROPHIC HAPPENED SO I CAME TO TELL YOU GUYS ON IRC FIRST INSTEAD OF ATTEMPTING TO DEFUSE THE HOSTILE SITUATION" quotes that are grossly abundant, similar, and overrated. and despite a new one is submitted each week and only the location of the fire is altered, loyal viewers firmly believe it is a unique and hilarious quotation, pledging support in the form of unneccesary votes

I know which "social network" I'd rather belong to... despite perceived unsuitability as an emergency service.

... in australia at least i see people go through the court system everyday for things like physically assaulting others or armed robberies ... they get less time then a guy who posted some links

Maybe this is the reason: http://bash.org/?262417

This whole thread reads like this bash.org quote :

-----------------
#152037 +(3230)- [X]
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

Really...most questions are answered with: "so you are lazy and don't/won't try to figure X out, so you come to Slashdot for us to do your job" and so forth. But look at this thread. TONS of useful answers whatnot. This is why I love /. :)

Well, we had it tough.

"Obligatory" bash quote

for those who haven't read the referenced bash.org quote :

<JonJonB> Purely in the interests of science, I have replaced the word "wand" with "wang" in the first Harry Potter Book
<JonJonB> Let's see the results...

<JonJonB> "Why aren't you supposed to do magic?" asked Harry.
<JonJonB> "Oh, well -- I was at Hogwarts meself but I -- er -- got expelled, ter tell yeh the truth. In me third year. They snapped me wang in half an' everything

<JonJonB> A magic wang... this was what Harry had been really looking forward to.

<JonJonB> "Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Harry Potter." It wasn't a question. "You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wang. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wang for charm work."
<JonJonB> "Your father, on the other hand, favored a mahogany wang. Eleven inches. "

<JonJonB> Harry took the wang. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wang above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls

<JonJonB> "Oh, move over," Hermione snarled. She grabbed Harry's wang, tapped the lock, and whispered, 'Alohomora!"

<JonJonB> The troll couldn't feel Harry hanging there, but even a troll will notice if you stick a long bit of wood up its nose, and Harry's wang had still been in his hand when he'd jumped - it had gone straight up one of the troll's nostrils.

<JonJonB> He bent down and pulled his wang out of the troll's nose. It was covered in what looked like lumpy gray glue.

<JonJonB> He ran onto the field as you fell, waved his wang, and you sort of slowed down before you hit the ground. Then he whirled his wang at the dementors. Shot silver stuff at them.

<JonJonB> Ok
<JonJonB> I have found, definitive proof
<JonJonB> that J.K Rowling is a dirty DIRTY woman, making a fool of us all
<JonJonB> "Yes," Harry said, gripping his wang very tightly, and moving into the middle of the deserted classroom. He tried to keep his mind on flying, but something else kept intruding.... Any second now, he might hear his mother again... but he shouldn't think that, or he would hear her again, and he didn't want to... or did he?
<melusine > O_______O
<JonJonB> Something silver-white, something enormous, erupted from the end of his wang

<JonJonJonB> Then, with a sigh, he raised his wang and prodded the silvery substance with its tip.

<JonJonJonB> 'Get - off - me!' Harry gasped. For a few seconds they struggled, Harry pulling at his uncles sausage-like fingers with his left hand, his right maintaining a firm grip on his raised wang.

You must be a pretty lousy C programmer then. Python may be higher level than C but its not THAT mush higher.

Interesting debating turn: AGREEMENT + INSULT.
It's not yet included in the general structure of arguing on the internet -- perhaps you could add it?

Never forget the potential for trolling one has with file sharing.

but the relevant Bash.org quote is here:

Robert Fano's password was hunter2. True* fact.

Were you this guy?

I even checked on IRC!

I saw a couple of friends go through chemo for lung cancer in the 90's. One of them died of the treatment. Lungs filled up with fluid or something the first time he went in. The other one died a year or so after being diagnosed. Neither looked like a particularly enjoyable close to otherwise great lives. Personally I'd rather check out on my own terms when I've run this husk into the ground. I'm sure I can find a suitable method when the time comes.

  I swear to god

  there was as group of ducks on a pond near where i live
  one of the ducks was quacking away looking straight at a group of like 10 ducks
  then he stopped and all the other ducks went mental

If you really are a Marine combat veteran I'd think you should have better things to do than beat up a 13 year old...

But I agree that they probably wouldn't be so tough. I think it's actually pretty amusing how tough a 12 year old playing some video game thinks he is... inside the game. They think that they're completely annon, and no one knows that they're just stupid kids who have big mouths.

http://bash.org/?14207

But we always can. And that's why it's so amusing.

Hold your breath
Or the Piano wire suicide

Well I'd say enough time has passed that one should really stop worshiping that word with such attention indeed. It used to mean black slave labor, but as slavery is abolished and white and black people are doing all kinds of things together this word means more these days some fucking idiot or what not. I think the best example is this:

http://bash.org/?739936

Anyway. As a counter point. In Estonian language the word neeger means a polite version of african origin or a person with black skin color etc. It has absolutely no context here because there never was any involvement in slave labor etc and the population of black coloured people here is rather slim (order of 100 or less in the whole country), mostly due to the climate. However if you take the other words one can use i.e. must mees (black person) etc, those have an undertone of rudeness to them.

So learn to adapt to context and don't worship a god damn word. It's as bad as the fact that the swastika is forbidden in Germany in everything. If someone designs a dress where the pattern can at some odd angle look like a swastika, then it's removed from sales etc. While the origin of the symbol is actually from hindu culture. Again, get over it and use the context...

I think I can come up with a more enjoyable way to shuffle off this mortal coil. Actually, pretty much every way I think I can come up with would probably be more enjoyable. If you're really into it, though, you could try this!

Or use fun words - cock is a male rooster, pussy is a cat, bitch is a female dog, ass is a donkey.

That is a bad thing. It prevents natural selection.
I personally don't want someone even close to me, who would eat a electronics device otherwise! Would you?

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?

Ehh.... not to rain on the joke, but there's nothing in partition /dev/hda1 after mkfsing it. Why so quick to chroot into it? It's missing the stage3 download!
