			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently <a href="http://www.matusiak.eu/numerodix/blog/" target="_blank">Martin</a> shared with me a Reddit comment thread titled <a href="http://www.reddit.com/info/6ofbu/comments/" target="_blank">What would the best geek epitaph be?</a>. This immediately caught my attention, as the question posed is fertile for outrageous humor, witty comments, and downright geeky cheekiness. Here are some beaming examples:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>&#8220;Goodbye World&#8221;</b> ; coders start out their programming careers with the &#8220;<a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_world_program">Hello world</a>&#8221; program, it&#8217;s only appropriate for them to end it with this one!</li>
<li><b>&#8220;Respawn in 10&#8230; 9&#8230; 8&#8230;&#8221;</b>; for the geek gamers out there</li>
<li><b>&#8220;shutdown -h now&#8221;</b>; self explainable, but the -h flag is for halt. </li>
<li>A user brilliantly replied to the above epitaph with <b>&#8220;shutdown -r now if he is a Buddhist&#8221;</b>; the -r flag means reboot. Reincarnation.</li>
<li> <b>&#8220;Hashes to hashes, struct to struct.&#8221;</b></li>
<li><b>&#8220;404 Life not found&#8221;</b>
</li>
<li><b>&#8220;rm -rf /dev/body mv /dev/soul ../</b>&#8220;; rm is the Unix command for &#8220;remove&#8221;, mv is for &#8220;move&#8221;, -f for &#8220;force&#8221;, -r for &#8220;recursive&#8221;</li>
<li>A screen shot of a<b> &#8220;<a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Screen_of_Death">BSOD</a>&#8221; </b></li>
<li><b>$&gt;<a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUL_%28Computer%29"> /dev/null</a></b></li>
</ul>
<p>I also took the liberty of googling some more, here are some other great examples:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>&#8220;Born: 1337 Died:1337&#8243;</b></li>
<li><b>&#8220;Pwned&#8221;</b>; obvious but classic!</li>
<li><b>&#8220;OMG H4x&#8221;</b></li>
<li><b>&#8220;Damn Lag&#8221;</b></li>
<li><b>&#8220;LAST POST!&#8221;</b></li>
<li><b>&#8220;Exceeded TTL&#8221;</b>; TTL= <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TTL">Time To Live</a></li>
<li><b>&#8220;EPIC FAIL&#8221;</b></li>
<li><b>&#8220;Fatal Error&#8221;
<p>(A)bort, (R)etry, (I)gnore?</p>
</p>
<p></b></li>
<li><b>&#8220;It&#8217;s not a bug, it&#8217;s a feature.&#8221;</b> Now thats just class!
</li>
</ul>
<p>Pictures are worth a 1000 words:</p>
