  • Linux geek humor

    This bit of humor from a Slashdot discussion of things Linus Torvalds has merged into the new 2.5.x-series development Linux kernels:

    Linus Torvalds Merges Self with Tree!!

    CYBERSPACE, USA – In a freak accident at Transmeta World Headquarters this afternoon, famed programmer Linus Torvalds — creator of the Linux operating system kernel — accidentally merged himself into the kernel’s dev tree. When reached for comment, Torvalds seemed only able to respond with “Power overwhelming.”

    Alan Cox, another prominent GNU/Linux programmer said he thought the merging — though accidental — was a good thing. “Now that [Linus]is actually in the kernel he can take advantage of Linux’s multitasking and actually handle the work-load that he has. This is a really good thing for the community.” Added Cox, “It’s also pretty [freaking] weird.”

    Thank you, “Pedro Picasso.”

  • It’s V-Day, and love is in the air and on the nets.

    What does a geek do when he’s in love and one of the head honchos of one of the most trafficked websites in all of geekdom?

    He pops the question on Valentine’s Day right there on the website, that’s what. Kinda cute, really. Say it with me, “Awwwww!”
