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...'"
ZOMGbbq my code runs soooooooooo much faster then those stewped other n00bs who use binaries. they r teh missing out on all the gcc screensaver pwnage.
I put "rice tickets" on stupid ricer cars.
Isn't stupid ricer redundant?
ahh, this is golden:
To me, an extra 0.1% performance increase, even if I am only imagining it to be faster, is certainly worth one day a week recompiling all of the latest packages from source code. Even if I do occasionally get my CFLAGS in a muddle! I think I speak for Slashdot when I say that Gentoo is the only sane option for getting the most from your hardware!
"I assumed blithely that there were no elves out there in the darkness"
Every distro has its fanatics. People like me, we get our jollies out of poking fun at them. It's nothing personal. Besides, there's good reason to move on to making fun of Gentoo users, what with BSD dying and all. . . . ;)
When things get complex, multiply by the complex conjugate.
I saw one of those oversized wings on a 2002 Mustang today. Nice car, kept clean, but with this ragged looking elevated flap marring the back like a vast plastic hangnail. It wasn't even the same color. I swear, I wanted to make a citizen's arrest. Then I noticed it was a V6, so I let the loser off with a warning.
--- Ban humanity.
Well, I'm a Ricer and a Gentoo fan, you insensitive clod.
x-(
Okay, am kidding. I just drive a rickety old Toyota and use Windows ME.
But hey, the tinted windows, exhaust pipe, and large Momo sticker across the top of the windshield must add at least 100hp right?
Drive a rickety old toyota and use winme, eh?
So do most ricers. *badda bing!*

Thats right we should all be using FreeBSD, with the vim port installed of course.

Why do you think it was posted on slashdot?

And BSD is going to take Apple along for the ride to deathsville too.
Shame, total shame.
Someone set us up the bomb, so shine we are!
If everyone would just use Win Xp like you should, then you wouldn't need to bitch and cry about people using different distros. P.S. I actually like MS.
If you halfway know your stuff regarding Linux, it can make a very nice workstation. I don't know if I'd recommend it for servers though, since having a compiler installed on a server is just asking for trouble..
Ricenix: Too fast, too optimised!
Man watching 6 MSCE's around a sun box, looks alot like the opening scene's of 2001:space odyssey...
1. Spot a funny website in the previous Slashdot frontpage funny story. Thanks to the Slashdot moderation system, it is easy finding one, since they are usually moderated +5, Funny.
2. Send your "scoop" to Slashdot.
3. Karma profit!
Yes, I mean riced out, not upgraded or modified - titanium bored-out gas pedal, racing seat, ripped up padding on the roof falling down, bolted on wing (that looked like it'd been made by someone in a high school shop class....), chrome rims(1 missing), wings, nitrous and R-Type stickers(!)
Indeed. Personally, I'm into Open Source for the chicks.
I find about two thirds of supposedly hillarious USE flags commentary serious, correct and insightful.
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the War Room!
Maybe you've just never talked to a Gentoo user before.....
If you're running gentoo and you're not recompiling your kernel at boot you're just a poser!
You forgot:
-type=R
Do daemons dream of electric sleep()?

It's da shizzle
Actually, no. The guy who designed that site was just looking for a bunch more quotes, so he thought he'd send it here. I'm sure the quotes of quite a few /.ers will make for a nice new addition to that site.
NVI is a good minimialistic vi [...] unless your a dirty dirty emacs hippy
Sweet! Now we've brought editor religion into the distro war article. Next I'd like to see a little grammar cop action, followed by some media-is-too-liberal vs media-is-too-conservative bickering. For the main event, frothing fundamentalist Randites can instruct us all in how to pronounce Ayn, while carefully being snotty enough that they can't be accused of being unselfish. Then, when everybody tries to shout them down, somebody can end the thread by making Nazi comparisons.
Get to it, boys! Time's a-wastin'!
A classic expamle of "Silicon is cheaper than Carbon!"...if you want more speed, buy more Silicon, don't have the Carbon Units spend hundreds of hours tweeking up the software...
Portage is slow.

Yep... but you can speed it up with the Python optimizer Psyco
What is so offensive about ricers.
I for one find them hilarious.
Who can take a civic
A rusty old DX?
Add a giant spoiler and some plastic ground effects?
The ricer man can
the ricer man caaaaan!
My apologies to Sammy Davis Jr.
Worse. I encountered a Dodge minivan with underlighting and a VTEC sticker.
I had to pull over to let the seizures pass.
I feel your pain.
These creations should be as illegal as the RPG's I hunt them with.
"Being L33t with Gentoo is considerably more useful to society than being a gang member despite the similarity of speech and behaviour of the two groups."
Gang members: beat the shit out of the new guy to have him join the gang. Afterwards there are hugs and lemonade.
Gentoo users: beat the shit out of their dad's Packard Bell trying to get Gentoo installed. Afterwards there is a 72 hour wait before they can do anything useful with their pc.
Gang members: enjoy carrying various forms of weaponry such as knives and fully automatic assault rifles.
Gentoo users: enjoy carrying Gentoo Unreal Tournament live cds.
Gang members: rate each other on the amount of money they have, the number of rival members they've killed, and how many bitches they've got up in the guts with.
Gentoo users: rate each other on breadth and depth of Linux knowledge, ebuild scripting, and how many machines Gentoo is currently running on.
Yeah I can really see the correlation there. NEXT!
...is the one behind the wheel. This is just as true with computers as it is with cars.
