Command Line Humor

[Mel Thompson]

The "whatis" command has its limits. You can't ask it: What is hot chocolate?
But you can ask it more computercentric questions like:

"whatis firefox"

It will respond, "a web browzer".

And one could ask, "whatis seamonkey".

And it will respond, "a web suite with mail services", or something like that.

So I then asked it, "whatis linux". But it replied, "nothing appropriate".

Talking to your computer is the first sign of madness.

First Sign of Madness... what.. damn... I once made a program with Voice Reconising and it could speak back.
So when I said "Hello Computer" or "Power Down My Friend" it replyed on it.


Oh, and friend

From the same author as Oxygen's post (xkcd)

This absolutely blows me away just thinking about it. It's not really command line humor, but it's command line configuration file editing humor.

My neighbours are stealing my wireless internet access. I could encrypt it or alternately I could have fun.

Then their Internet looks like this!

[Oxygen]

Well my neibour accualy did go over my WiFi (that I didnt encrypt since it was a HoneyPot)
So, he connected. Got on MSN.
And, I had a nice evening reading MSN Convos
(Bit Childish but it was really fun to read what he had to say)

[Oxygen]

I really wish I knew how do to that sort of stuff...
