Gentoo Ricer Comparison
Dozix007 writes "The folks over at Funroll-Loops have created a funny comparison between the Ricer fad gripping the US, and Gentoo Linux. In a quote from the site 'Like the annoying teenager next door with a 90hp import sporting a 6 foot tall bolt-on wing, Gentoo users are proof that society is best served by roving gangs of armed vigilantes, dishing out swift, cold justice with baseball bats...'"
gentoo is so damned easy to install now... anyone who can follow simple, well written, walk-you-through-the whole-thing instructions can do it... There's nothing l33t about it at all now... if you can't install Gentoo, then there's no hope for you.

And I'll mod you down (figuratively speaking) as an idiot. Here's an idea. Go to an import drag race in your are. Count the asians driving riced out cars, then count the crackers (eep! racist! OMG!!!!BBQLOL!!!!11), then count the black guys, and so on. The majority WILL BE white guys. Ricing out cars IS A WHITE GUY THING. The asians that are into import cars seem to spend their money on actually GOING FAST as opposed to LOOKING FAST. I'm sorry dude, you obviously have no clue about this culture or its inhabitants. Go to an import car race, and start throwing around the term ricer. Nobody cares. Now start throwing out 'gook' or 'chink' and see how fast you get the shit kicked out of you.

A word to the sibling to this comment, pissing and moaning about characterizing harley owners are being fat - most of them are. Most people on rice rockets, on the other hand, are fairly fit. Why? Because it's a whole different mindset. A harley is a cruising bike, they're not designed for speed. The primary purpose in a harley is to make the signature sound, and to vibrate in just the right way to tickle the girl you've got on the back of the bike - which explains why you see so many women out there riding them :D I bet it's pretty nice on the prostate too, basically harleys are just big steel-and-chrome vibrators. If harleys were japanese, they'd be pre-riced (like the lancer evo) because they're all about style, not substance. Harley has a division called Buell that makes sport bikes, most of which suck ass (whoever heard of slinging a shock under the frame? That's horribly fucking stupid) but many of which are actually very powerful, like the lightning X1.
Now, people will tell you that harley is the all-american motorcycle, but after being bought and rescued by sporting goods manufacturer AMF I have a hard time taking them very seriously, and anyway pretty much all vehicles today contain japanese components, including those from harley-davidson, so basically it's about style and nothing else. But, you can get style in japanese bikes, too, like the honda valkyrie or, if they still make it, the yamaha vulcan. But, if you drive down the road and look at who's on bikes, a much higher percentage of harley riders are big fatasses. They get that way by drinking too much beer and spending too much time in the saddle instead of exercising. You know, kind of the same way there's less fat on your average fruit picker than there is on your average computer dork - and I resemble that remark.

Optimize yet more. `-O3' turns on all optimizations specified by

Ohh yeah.. Thats "two relatively minor flags" allright.
I personally count three.
