Default Linux funnies

Someone on the Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts passed this image around today, it's good for a giggle:


I figured a few people here might get a chuckle out of it as well. Anyone got any more Linux-themed humor?

sudo can run things with higher privileges.

Thanks, ES! i'd forgotten about bash.org!

TANK Ex Mortis: Of course, when I want to install something on Linux, it says "You can't install that until you install these 50 libraries, update these 3 drives, downgrade this 1 driver, and pick my mom up from the airport."
:rofl:

Corona, that's a great man page!

That's a great one, too, Kyuss. I'd forgotten you'd posted that!

sudo lets you act as root when you're just a user. In the mac terminal, you get this nice warning:

WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.

To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.
So, for example, you would be able to modify files that the operating system claims as it's own (root, wheel, etc), which you wouldn't normally be able to do just by asking as a user.

My installer program once threatened to break my fingers if I didn't follow proper procedure for installing unstable packages. I really wish I'd screenshotted that, but that 'feature' was quickly removed for obvious reasons.

In it's place, I have miscellaneous other screenshots. Here's a terrifying dialog WINE springs on you uncomfortably often:

And here's what the logical deduction language SWI-Prolog tells you when you ask too vague of a question.



An error message that my ISP tech support found hilarious and baffling was "IRQ 12, nobody cared".

And of course, when Sun Microsystems makes a network card called the 'happy meal', of course the developers are going to have a field day with it:
Code:
printk(KERN_ERR "happy meal: Transceiver BigMac ATTACK!");

printk(KERN_ERR "happy meal: Fry guys.");

printk(KERN_ERR "happymeal: Cannot map BIGMAC registers.n");

printk(KERN_ERR "happy meal: Transceiver and a coke please.");

Ah, now I get it. You all thought I cared.:D But I don't. Cause I don't use Linux. But I might. One day. Again.
