Reminded me of the guy that commented that when he rode the elevator and the elevator doors swooshed open, he half-expected to see a roomful of ITC(?) crates, and two imps lurking in between 'em, so he kinda peeked before stepping out. The effect was eerie when the strobe was flashing (ok so I had to embellish a bit, sosumi).
To think that YOUR reality could effectively be altered by (what is now) primitive-drawn sprites. THAT is a testament to the power of the Carmack code.
...when from behind our computers we hear from the TV/from their brother yelling in the next room/from the streaming broadcast: "It's now official: Desktop Linux is here!"
We jerk our heads up from our fully functional Windowmaker/enlightenment/FVWM/blackbox/Fluxbox/KD E/GNOME/Ratpoison/evilwm/twm screens and ask ourselves, "It's HERE?!? SO WTF have I been using all this time?!?" and proceed to uninstall our GUI-fied desktops and switch back to green-on-black. That's the equivalent of burying our heads in the sand. Your brother walks in and looks at the screen and says, Oh, you have it installed already?

Of course, the "coding gloves" are purely imaginary (he actually draws three lines on the back of each hand for effect), and nobody brings the coffee because nobody can hear him in his parents' basement.

As a lawyer representing Lucas, may I present you with this cease-and-desist order.

You'd think they'd unlock the keys to the playboy/Penthouse site and gain gold membership or something, folks, but nooooo....it hadda be the Chess Club.
Is there an OSS equivalent to Adobe Pagemaker? I was hoping there is one so that I wouldn't have to deal with the bloat of InDesign (or its whizbang interface), just for one steenkin document.

That sound you hear is the sound of four geeks with no current project suddenly standing up from their conference/kitchen table and getting right on it. The fifth geek is ordering pizza with the requisite 2-liter soda over the phone.
Another five geeks put on a timewasting project when their PCs currently running SETI screensavers were serving a loftier purpose.
I was about to suggest this to them before you jumped in: Your next sourceforge project would be to code a bash script for Mplayer that will play the DVD Memento in the right chronological order. (Let's see Syllable do THAT!)

These futuristic limbs have hydraulic pumps visible through its clear plastic shell.
Kinda gives new meaning to the word skinning, doesn't it?
Thanks, I'll be here all week...

I was going to pose as Grammar nazi and point out the typo but then I stepped back and admired the pun, the sheer genius of it, intended or not.

it used to be the test sound when you installed a soundcard under Linux
used to be? used to be?!?
I still use it to test my soundcard in sndconfig, you insensitive clod!
P.S.
I believe it's the only soundbyte on the entire internet where Linus talks to me, personally.
