My Distro

My distro brings all the geeks to the screen,
and they're like,
its better than yours,
damn right its better than yours,
Like Windows,
but they like to charge

My distro brings all the geeks to the screen,
and they're like,
it compiles for hours,
damn right it compiles for hours,
Like Gentoo,
but with less emerge

I know you want it,
with just one makefile,
what the geeks go crazy for.
Partition drives,
one more time,
One more GRUB line

la la-la la la,
boot it up.
la la-la la la,
the geeks are waiting

la la-la la la,
start it up.
la la-la la la,
Gnome or KDE?

My distro brings all the geeks to the screen,
and they're like,
It's got Compiz,
damn right it's got Compiz,
Like Vista,
but with less crashes

My distro brings all the geeks to the screen,
and they're like,
You got m4d sk1llz,
damn right I got m4d sk1llz,
Install it,
Share the torrent

I can see the torrent,
you want me to share the
techniques that geeks adore,
it can't be bought,
just know, support will cost,
add to your Paypal cart,

la la-la la la,
Digg it up,
la la-la la la,
the clicks are waiting,

la la-la la la,
hack it up,
la la-la la la,
claim it's your creation,

My distro brings all the geeks to the screen,
and they're like,
Does it come with MP3,
It does not come with MP3,
You can install it,
but don't tell me...

My distro brings all the geeks to the screen,
and they're like,
Ubuntu sucks,
damn right Ubuntu sucks,
It's based from it,
but that's not the point

A spoof on one of my Unix articles (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

Bwahaha, this is awesome! ^_^

A few months back I wrote an article about Unix shell variable scoping. I wrote the article after running into an odd situation where variables would lose their value, depending on which part of my script was running. All programming languages have these kinds of issues and they are commonly referred to as the variable scope. In the end I figured out most of what was going down and I wrote about it so others would find my solution.

In the meantime dozens of people -have- found this article, but one reader in particular has done something rather amusing with it! Instead of applying it to a scripting problem he (or is it a she?) was having, my article was turned into the diary of a Linux nerd.

Here's a small excerpt.
I was playing around with her (for a) "while" and was pipeing some data into her "while" (construct). Everything was working fine while I was inside her, but the moment I got out, it was as though everything changed. She has no memory of me and all the things I had did inside her. Half an hour of work and no final effect and I actually thought she was enjoying it.

Dramatic, no?

I think this automatically starts playing when you load it, so I put the video behind an LJ-Cut. The Onion (ONN video) at its finest. "Volunteers are standing at street corners, handing out pages of recipes, witty poems, and office humor."
