			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So it has been over a month since my last post and me <a href="http://linuxologist.com/off-topic/big-changes-for-royal-linuxing-and-me/" target="_blank">moving to America</a>, and my only connection to the world is a measly Dell mini 12 netbook that Intel somehow severely screwed up when it comes to Linux video drivers. The situation isn&#8217;t exactly inspiring me to blog and do all the other activities that it entails. A molasses Firefox is driving me crazy, makes me want to chuck this netbook out of the window&#8230;.Netbooks are NOT for everyday use! Luckily, my<a href="http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/systemconfig.runtime.workflow:LoadRuntimeTree?sb=:00000025:00001CC8:&amp;smid=0A759CA6FAC74C46BC91C724ECD09BA7" target="_blank"> Lenovo Thinkpad is on its way</a>.</p>
<p>But I guess I had to pop up eventually, since a lot of readers were starting to ask when am coming back.</p>
<p>So while treading the amazing world of Twitter (follow me <a href="http://twitter.com/rtaibah" target="_blank">@rtaibah</a>), I found a hilarious picture posted by <a href="http://www.nixiepixel.com/blog/" target="_blank">Nixie Pixel </a>(twitter:<a href="http://www.twitter.com/nixiepixel" target="_blank">@nixiepixel</a>, follow her, HOT HOT HOT <img src='http://linuxologist.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Cinelerra Humor" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3585/3545681171_a82f552720.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="500" height="404" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Its a screenshot taken from an Open Source video-ediing tool called Cinelerra. I can&#8217;t really vouch for it (yet!), but it has been featured on FLOSS Weekly with Leo Laporte just this past week. Interesting episode, <a href="http://twit.tv/floss68" target="_blank">make sure you catch it</a>!</p>

<p>If the wine you drink, car you drive, food you eat, clothes you wear and even pets you have defines you as a person; does your choice of Linux Distro defines you too?</p>
<p><strong>If you use Ubuntuâ€¦</strong> You like to follow the crowd and do whatever everyone else does. No individualism.</p>
<p><strong>If you use Debianâ€¦</strong> You are a giver. You let the crowd followers be more popular with your ideas.</p>

<p>I personally started off on the Dark Side <img src='http://linuxologist.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> . Became a follower for a while, then a perfectionist for 6 month, and now a follower. Though I want to become a perfectionist again!</p>

			<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>
<div align="center"><img style="max-width: 800px;" src="http://linuxologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/geek-epitaph-not-be-right-back.jpg" /></p>

<p>What would YOU have on your epitaph?</p>
