(A "text-based" cartoon for the other geeks out there, from here. I found it quite amusing overall, with some parts sillier than others.)

Bourne shell? Why not bash?

[fleaplus.livejournal.com]

Being Bourne once is good enough for me. I can never stand Bourne-agains.

I'm definitely printing this one out and showing it to fellow geeks at work :) We're an AS/400, UNIX/AIX shop.

Here's one you can probably appreciate:

SELECT * FROM politicartoons
WHERE userviews="liberal" AND senseofhumor="yes";
0 rows selected

Hey, I understand that!

I'm just not smart enough to get the whole OP, just little parts here and there.

Dont you mean :

SELECT * from politicartoons where userviews='liberal' and senseofhumor='yes' and is_troll = 'no'
0 rows selected

Very good, but I guess my presence in the linux group already indicated that I would like it.
