Hi,

I would like to have surviving Mars.


2 pals, a windows user and a linux admin are chatting after work (from the First BioResearch Institute) in their favorite bar, called Foo bar.
The linux admin says: I would tell you a DNS joke but be advised, it could take up to 24 hours for everyone to get it.

Iconoclasts
Mountain Man Jun 14, 2018
Surviving Mars, please.

Now for my joke:

Why is a penguin superior to a monkey?
Penguins can't open windows.

OK, so it's not a very good joke.

As for the joke, let me look at my Wine collection and get back to you.

Surviving Mars

Tux walks up to two lions at the zoo and tells them about all the wonders of open software and leaves.

one lion said to the other "was that a talking penguin?"

Surviving Mars, please.
I've been using Vim for about 2 years now, mostly because I can't figure out how to exit it.

This was a fun comment thread to read.

Here's wishing for Iconoclasts.
"If you bash a window, does it become a Linux desktop?"
"No, it's just GIMPed."
"I GNU it!"

Iconoclasts please.

How many Gentoo users does it take to change a lightbulb?

Sorry, they're all waiting for "emerge world" to finish.
