Damnit universe! by theparanoidcynic · 2005-02-07 02:37 · Score: 4, Funny

My cell phone has a text message which appears to offer a second date. Tonight.

Bittorrent has Slackware 10.1 ISOs. Right now.

These things cause conflict in my brain . . . . .

  TAKE THE DATE!! You'll be glad you did :) Besides, the rule says you can cancel a date with a friend (ISO) if there's a possibility for sex.
  
  (and confirmed by both ross and chandler)

  I say invite her over. If you install Slackware and she comes back, she's yours. If you install Slackware and she bolts, then it was never meant to be.

  Start the torrent download. Go on the date. If it completes before the end of the date, you'll be seeding it for everyone else. (Seeding jokes omitted.)

  Then I guess they have to fight, except, y'know, not in the traditional sense that we use "fight." In that fight everybody would win, well, everybody except the Slackware installer, which would sit there demanding the second disc for several hours while the humans "fight."

Re:Dependencies?!?!? No, no, I use Slackware :) by EvilTwinSkippy · 2005-02-07 06:43 · Score: 3, Funny

I can think of only one other industry that refers to its clientele as "Users", distribute "fixes" and maintain "dependencies".
