You know to some people that could be an insult but funny nonetheless.

For the record, I have Fedora Core on this computer.

Aye, thats a branch of linux not quite unix, so feel happy. ^^!

Apple users might get offended though... Unlike Linux OS X is UNIX-based.

oh ffs people, does nobody here have a sense of humor?

Ok the main problem here is that picture is of Danny 'The Balls' Grohans - he is one of the top 5 male porn stars in Europe.

Of course we do! It is an amusing picture that demonstrates a very interesting trend that I have not seen before you showed me!

"People who sleep around too much end up writing unstable operating systems!"

I wonder if there is a correlation between reboots and sex? (Does anyone actually keep count of either?) You should be able to remember the last month to within a suitable accuracy margin, so let's do a quick survey! Only reboots to your main machine and sex with your main partner counts. If you can't decide, pick the one with the higher count. (hint: "last | grep reboot" will tell you times of reboots on unix-like things)

So, let me start us off:
11 reboots and 0 sex

See, ananzi has a sense of humor... why can't you all be more like ananzi?

You said 'a' sense of humor. You did not specify which type of humor you were referring to.

I expect a detailed requirement specification by friday.

Ok, ananzi, should you be proud of the fact that you actually know that?

Oh, and the whole point of Apple OS X is that you don't have to see the guts of the OS, you just use it. So, though OS X is UNIX based, and I use OS X constantly, I have no idea anything about UNIX whatsoever. So, yeah. I fart in your general direction.

NOES!!! MORE ANANZIS!!!
/me shoots himself in the head

er... just to make it clear...

mac os x is not "unix". it's "unix-based".

the open group, wich governs what is and what is not unix, requires a very rigid certification process for a system to meet "unix" certification. mac os x tiger doesn't have this certification, but it was granted the "unix-based" title by the open group because tiger actually does meet the base criteria. it just hasn't gone through the certification wich is quite costly and time consuming.

however, for having attended apple's world wide developer conference this year (and, <brag> for the 7th year </brag>), i happily announce that apple is getting leopard fully certified.

so, leopard *will* be unix, while tiger and before are "unix-based".

we still have about 6 months to get laid.

Will "last | grep sex" tell me the last time I had sex?
Well, being married, there's probably a clause in there somewhere to remove me from the sample pool, or Lord knows I'd throw off the whole metric. ;)

no, but "uptime" will give you a general idea if you have any chance at it.

professor chaos: i should think i'd know my own father. jeez.

(1) The trend of people noticing Tosh's missing humor module continues.

(2) 'Main partner'...? How quaint.

I'll have you know I use Slackware, yet I am one hot potato! Alright, I'm just 15, so I don't really get laid.
