The OpenBSD 3.4 Song: Theo Sings Back-up
shking writes "Theo has pre-released the OpenBSD 3.4 song. It was written, arranged & recorded by Ty Semaka and Jonathan Lewis of the Plaid Tongued Devils.
You can find the new song at www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html. Enjoy."
After some tinkering from the community this might actually make the Billboard Top 20.
so I switched from my favorite web radio station to listen to this and I thought it sounded like a children's song. so I went back to the station and this was playing.
;)
I've never heard this song before, but it seemed much more appropriate in my opinion
Creationists are a lot like zombies. Slow, but powerful and numerous. And they all want to eat our brains.
so where is the bittorrent link?
a slut did tulsa
This one is no doubt my favourite OpenBSD song so far. BTW, did anyone else find similarities between the "rap part" of the song and some Eminem track (can't remember the name) ? Same rhythm and rhymes sounded the same (different words, obviously). Was that on purpose or just a pure coincidence ?
You people are so silly. These sorts of things take away time that could be better spent discussing vi vs. emacs, Linux vs. Gnu/Linux, and Kirk vs. Picard.
Those of you with a weak stomach might not want to click on Stallman singing.
Hey, Windows users, there is no such thing as "forward" slash, there is only slash and backslash.
This new story could have been a great lead-in:
How long before the RIAA finds this MP3 on your hard drive and sues you?
Better yet, how about a song praising Linux, then ask:
Who sues you first?
1) RIAA
2) SCO
3) Cowboy Neal
This story could have so much mileage...
That dude with the spinny hat rocks!

I Am The Very Model of a Microsoft Executive
(By Brad Rhodes, with inspiration from Lincoln Spector's "The Pirates of
Pentium" and apologies to Sir William Gilbert...)
Bill Gates:
I am the very model of a Microsoft Executive
Work sixteen hours ev'ry shift on days that are consecutive
I make a line of software that is of the highest quality
But leave in bugs to fix in upgrades in perpetuality
Though some might claim that we compete in ways that are not very just
That's just vindictive rumor spun by folks who can't compete with us
Besides they cannot prove a thing, no judge will ever take their side
We'll crush them with our lawyers known for litigation far and wide.
Men's Chourus:
He'll crush them with his lawyers known for litigation far and far and wide!
Gates:
My coders work a schedule bordering on impropriety
But they'll still work for peanuts til they're vested in entirety
I'm sure that you will all agree that this is all inde-cu-tive
That I'm the very model of a Microsoft Executive!
Chorus:
I'm sure that you will all agree that this is all inde-cu-tive
He is the very model of a Microsoft Executive!
Gates:
We made our windows system one which we hold in propriety
And tweak it every now and then to screw up Lotus 1-2-3
Developing for Windows makes our competition often frown
They haven't any choice -- our system is the only game in town.
We'll use people's inventions that will make our software sell the best
Idea is the first step but the market is the real test
And though we may use other's thoughts and intellectual property
Stealing's such a nasty word, we like to call it R&D.
Chorus:
Stealing's such a nasty word, he likes to call it R&-R&D.
Gates [faster]:
My business tactics are compared with Henry Ford and Genghis Kahn
They built me up from nerdy kid to billionaire and then beyond
And while my competition spews out words full of invec-u-tive
I am the very model of a Microsoft Executive!
Chorus:
And while his competition spews out words full of invec-u-tive
He is the very model of a Microsoft Executive!

Not bad at all, these songs are getting better. Good work guys!! The bit that caught my attention was in the middle. Sounded like something Weird Al would make!

Now if only we can get the Linux developers drunk at a karaoke bar

'cuz i hung my original GNU from the top of the Slashdot Cruiser

my stockbroker wanted me to make a quick killin'
thanx a lot, now I'm sittin on a pot of VA Linux stock that used to be worth a million
so i smacked him in his face with a hammer, slammed his balls in a scanner
and beat him so badly he's fucked up like Taco's grammer
walked in Slashdot, had my jacket fastened up
flamed my impersonator and stuck my dick in a plastic cup
extra-terrestrial, runnin' over pedestrians, in a green SUV
while they screamin (shit that's the Cruiser!)
ninety-nine percent of my life i was trolled to
i just found out Eric Raymond does more dope than i do (damn)
i told her i'd grow up to be a famous slashbot
become quite rich when the ipo dust has settled and spend it all on crack rocks.
you know you blew up when the geeks rush your stands
and try to touch your hands like some screamin anime fans
this guy at the Geek Compound asked me for my autograph (dude, can I get your autograph?)

i just smoked a bunch of Drano crystal, dare me to drive? (go ahead)
all my life i was very boring
i ain't had a woman in years, my wrists ache from Karma whoring
clothes rip like the Sultan of Swat
i spit when i talk, my name ends in a dot (no it doesn't)
when i was little i used to masturbate quite an amount
(how you gonna keep on posting mom I bitchslapped your account!)
I lie awake and night and think "Is my asshole bigger than the guy in that goatsex link?"
and shoot myself in the ass till its pink (bang) till i'm sick
and by the way when you see Fascdot, tell him that i slit his PRick

Another year of waiting until my boss forgets about this so I can try recommending OpenBSD again.
.. for now. What? No I didn't say anything after the word boxes."
"Yes boss, it *is* a quality operating system, the guys who write it are just having a little fun. No they don't 'have fun' by leaving hacker back doors in the OS, they just put a song on the CDs that's all. No it's not installed as part of the operating system and no, customers won't hear it when they visit our web page. No Windows doesn't come with any songs and it's going on the new boxes
so is that web address supposed to be Andrew Hitchcock or Andre Whitchcock? /me prepares to get modded off-topic.

I've seen the Plaid Tongued Devils at least a dozen of times in Calgary and Saskatoon -- nothing boils my Eastern European blood better than them.
We used to get together -- Bosnians, Serbians, Croatians, Macedonians, Bulgarians, Romanians, whatever else you can think of from the Balkan Peninsula, in Lydia's in S'toon every time they had a concert and just get right pissed...
I quit smoking after one of their concerts -- was so hung over the next day I had to celebrate it somehow!
Ahh, good times being an undergrad!
Pshah, Linux geeks may not have real babes but they do have Photoshop and/or the GIMP.
up over and over? Geezus, every single bsd story gets this post, and every single time it gets modded up. The chick isn't even that hot, either. Damn.
You forgot Captain Pike, you trek n00b53r.
Kids...
Even if a man chops off your hand with a sword, you still have two nice, sharp bones to stick in his eyes.
And I thought my punched-card backup system was slow. What is the recording medium? 78s? How does he sing the binary files?
(Sorry, but a straight-line like that can't be ignored, and nobody else seems to have picked it up. I guess they all had good taste or something.)

Should you feel the need to start a company motto amongst your cow-orkers in the cube farm in order to raise morale, try something like:

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos
I've been waiting for a vi v's emacs thread for this one. Stuff both of them OpenBsd uses Ed.
For those more interested in technology (than flames) read this article with Bill Joy about Ed.
