A Geek Funeral
We've recently talked about a geek wedding, and now reader Sam_In_The_Hills writes in with news of his brother's geek funeral. "I've not seen this topic covered here before even though it's one that will concern us all at some time: what to do with our corporeal remains after we've left for that great data bank in the sky. For my recently departed brother (long illness, don't smoke!), I thought this nice SPARCstation would be a cool place to spend eternity. Yes, he's really in there (after cremation). I kept the floppy drive cover but for space reasons removed the floppy drive, hard drive, and most of the power supply. I left behind the motherboard and power switch and plugs to keep all openings covered. The case worked quite well at his memorial party. His friends and family were able to leave their final good-byes on post-notes. Anyone who wanted to keep their words private could just slip their note into the case through the floppy slot. All notes will be sealed in plastic and placed within the case. There has been one complication. His daughters like the look of it so much they aren't now sure if they want to bury him. One more thing: the words on the plaque really do capture one of the last things he ever said. Of course as kids we watched the show in its first run."
If he was a Sun admin, I would wager it wasn't the cigarettes.
but I want a bunch of screaming Klingons at mine.

Not really, you don't. It's a choice. There are other ways.

Me failed English...
FreeBSD over Linux. If my comments seem odd, this may explain...
Far out man.

We should legalize it, tax it, and spend all the money earned towards an anti-homicide campaign.
Oh come on, it's:

Yeah, but they did manage to defrost Walt Disney to create Steve Jobs.
