Let’s replace the dead Linux by Bill Gates too see if anyone cares…
I don’t know. The last few lol’s haven’t been that funny to me. Are we running out of material here folks?
Running out of material? You mean ran…as in a while ago.
I agree. Has anybody else noticed that these non-lols are submitted by someone who doesn’t have the decency to give his/her name?
1970? I think you confuse Linux with Linus. Although, strictly speaking, you still are off with three days.
Torvalds was born in 69, so it doesn’t make any sense
Well, 28th of december. Hence, some days off.
Nooo linux is not dead!! It’s just on its first steps
P
Yeah, Ubuntu is going strong. My company is switching over to Linux.
As an avid Linux user, this picture does not amuse me.
Off by a decade or two… I’m pretty sure the source code was first released in the early 90s.
Linux was first released September 1991.
1.1.1970 was when Unix time started.
heheh, tres amusant, cette image!
Foooka You Penguin!!
Linux is not dead. It’s just tired from whooping the crap out the guys off camera. I was there. It was a glorious battle. You could smell their fear.
That’s just one of those new Axe colognes.
I love the smell of fear in the morning. It smells like….errr….errr….Fear!! Yes thats it!!
This is weak. Linux is the most prevalent OS that most people do not even know they are using. Anyone here heard of an Andriod, Kindle or most sites on the internet?
If the joke was something like “Windows Firewall”, that would have been amusing.
….and wouldn’t have made any sense, visually, because it’s a picture of a fvcking guy dressed up as a fvcking penguin.
Easy diss, steady on, old girl. You knew the Linux fan-boys would be out in force over this. Just let it wash over you, let it go…here, have a Quaalude!
Thank you, Ivan. Sorry, I’ve just reached my limits on tolerance for stupidity this week.
i reached that limit at about 9:05 monday morning. you made it further than i did!
I reached my limit at work this morning around 6 am. At 8 I decided to take the rest of the day off.
I’m not sure when my limit will be reached, but I have to work until midnight tonight at my job at the liquor store and then get up at 6 tomorrow for my “real” job. I’m thinking, I’m going to be killing stupid people at around 6 or 7 tonight…..
I reached my limit yesterday when I woman got pissy with me because she didn’t want to wait in line to buy a book at another store because the line was to long, so she came to my store and asked us to do a store transfer, which we don’t do anymore, and would have taken a week anyways! It would have taken her less time to wait in line at the first store than to drive to another freaking store! /rant
i got in around 8:30 on monday… so it took me about 35 minutes to reach my limit. i’ve got until 3:30 tomorrow before i’m out though…
i wish i could take the rest of the day off. i’d bolt the hell out of here… i swear, the stupid is contagious in this office.
The only reason I got away with it was because my boss is off today. And I pretended to be sick. LOL
I guess that’s where I’m lucky. I asked my boss if we can eliminate anyone who acts stupid and he said sure. Strange how the stupid cleared up after the third idiot went missing.
My wife’s work is so damn cool. They actually fired someone who was bringing down the entire damn company with her incompetence. In retail, such people become assistant managers.
i am the boss, and today i am the idiot, but i can’t afford to fire me
I’m, erm, on Christmas vacay. I don’t work again until Jan. 4.
ditto.
Ditto…except that yesterday I had to spend 2 hours dealing with the mess which a ‘the rules don’t apply to me’ student had created, and another 45 minutes on that same mess today–after a 6 hour drive to NJ to visit my mother. *sighs*
My favorite was the sophomore (COLLEGE sophomore) whose mommy called the math dean because he failed a Calculus test. Apparently we were ‘unfair.’
The only thing unfair in this kid’s life will be the 400lb man pinning him to the wall in Cell Block 6 after Mommy and Daddy figure out they can’t fight all his battles for him. And that he’s too stupid to live.
My personal favorite was overhearing a colleague (college prof!) calling her son’s professor to ask for an extension for her son on his paper. Hello?!?
But that’s not the same…my son’s special. *imagine whining*
When I pointed that her actions weren’t matching her philosophy as a teacher (gently), she said, ‘I know, but I’ve paid too much money on his education to allow him to make this mistake.’
Definition of education FAIL.
Hee hee. My son goes to a very expensive, very highly rated college prep high school, and I remember one math teacher telling me that a lot of the parents complained that her class was ‘too hard,’ which is, of course, why the school is highly rated. They apparently want to have the school’s name on the diploma without their kids having to do the work.
Grrr. Having had the “Look, you’re in college and you’re 18, you are considered a GROWN-UP and have to do this stuff for yourself; I CAN’T call Student Disability Services and make the appointment you need to talk to them about your ADD” conversation MORE than once this past semester with my daughter, I can’t believe people actually do that…..
(Ok, I will admit to emailing the SDS counselor to make sure I was sending her to the right office….she’s very shy. *sigh*)
Could be worse, try employing some of these “graduates” for a task that was formerly suitable for a middle-school student.
Nothing personal, but you suck.
I think that costs extra Cotton.
Well, yes, but only if you ask nicely.
Well, that’s reasonable I…WHA?!
I agree diss. I can only handle so much stupid before I just wanna SNAP.
WTF kind of moron would laugh at a joke about Windows captioned on a picture of a fvcking penguin. All I can say is WTF.
Well, if the penguin had smashed a window….
WTPH IS WITH THE PENGUIN! ITS A PENGUIN! A PENGUIN! A GOD DARNED P-E-N-G-U-I-N!
Just because it had to be said somewhere on this lol:
One by one, the penguins steal my sanity.
Is that it? Did the penguin tell you to do that?
Show me where the penguin touched you…then close your eyes.
Computer LOL’s aren’t that funny, but i agree “windows firewall” would’ve been a much funnier caption. I won’t get into the Linux vs Windows thing. I’ll take the free more stable one that has a community of programmers, as opposed to the overpriced unstable one that has a staff of programmers.
PENGUIN!1!!!111elebenty!!!!!111,
*considers starting drinking, at work, at 10 am….*
No windows, walls, or fire ANYWHERE in the picture…
Passes diss a bottle of tequila…
*secretely hopes for nude drunken escapades*
you got any jack daniels over there? or perhaps baileys? i’ve got a cup of coffee… i could disguise the baileys pretty well if necessary.
Lol…I’ve got coffee. Maybe I should brave the crowd of smelly homeless dudes around the liquor store down the street and get some damn bailey’s. *headdesk*
But if you’re already naked what’s the booze for?!?
*curious…rummages around, hands shorty some Baileys*
i’m in the office… i’m clothed here.
the baileys would be to dull the pain from where i’ve been bashing my head against the desk at my coworkers stupidity.
Well, then you’re doing it wrong. You’re supposed to bash their heads into the desk in the hopes of knocking some sense into them. It the very least it probably can’t make them any dumber.
I feel your pain. I work with two assistants I call tweedle-dumb and tweedle-dumber. How they became legal assistants, I will never know.
It’s too damn hot for a penguin to just be walking around here. I gotta send him back to the South Pole.
Oh, I see what’s goin on in here! So SORRY to inturrupt! Proceed!
BOYS NIGHT OUT!
“Judas Priest, Barbara, it’s one of those flaming bags again.”
“Don’t put it out with your boots, Ted.”
“Don’t tell me my business, Devil Woman. Call the fire department, this one’s outta control!”
I got this shirt from Frank.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy upon your soul.
If any of you cheats, especially with my wife, who is a dirty, dirty whore, well then I am just gonna snap.
I’m sure glad I called that guy.
If peeing your pants is cool, then consider me Miles Davis!
What day is it?
October…
It’s nudie magazine day!
Do you have anymore gum?
Another Furry convention that got out of hand! Oh the inhumanity!
no, no, no, this is what happens when a feathery tries to crash a furry convention
This caption was made by someone who knows nothing about Linux.
THE LINUX IS BELGIAN!!!!
Really? I thought it was German. And SOCIALIST!!!!!
And Isreali.
STEP RIGHT UP DON’T BE SHY! Place your bets! How many Linux fan boys will post to defend their system of choice? Yes you in the corner sir, what is your bet?
ALL of them! *giggle-fit*
i’m betting about 20… this one isn’t inflammatory enough for us to get 900 comments about “linux is teh awsumist evar u noobs!”
p.s. you said you were from the mitten. where abouts? i went to college up yonder and always wonder where folks are from.
Oh please. Those Linux fanboys are so insecure that they get massively butthurt any time anyone makes a joke about it. I’m expecting this one to top 2000 comments.
I live near port Huron sorry it took me so long to answer I’ve been out shopping and even now am typing this from my iPod at burger king
Could you grab me some chicken fingers? I tried to get Mabs to pick me up some curly fries from Arby’s but she said no
I’m sooooo damn hungry. All I’ve had today was the crap we have in the breakroom.
I know I could finish a little faster if I completely refrained from PK, but there’s only so long you can concentrate on this crap at a stretch. Hell, I’m already walking around muttering to myself.
Can’t you take a twenty minute lunch break to get real food? Or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof?
Have you ever been to a lawyer’s office? Hell doesn’t have food that bad, because Hell has higher standards.
Isn’t there some sort of fast food place near by to escape to?
Um…that’s an interesting name, froo.
I dislike Christmas.
I’m with ya, lady. *fist bumps froo* With your grinchiness and my scroogieness, we can bring this Christmas to its knees.
Froo/Rando 2012: The Grinch Ticket “We Promise To Abolish Christmas Except For 1 Day In December!” No more Christmas in July, or it’s death to you all!! BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA *cough* *gasp*
*votes yes on the non-partisan Froo/Rando ticket.*
Would have to actually leave the building and go somewhere, given the parking garage configuration it’s at least 1/2 hour to get something and get back, and I’d rather leave 1/2 hour sooner!
(On the bright side, at least there’s a fair amount of crap in the breakroom now due to the holidays, sometimes it’s just saltines!)
But I wasn’t going to Arby’s! I did offer roast beef…and the shrimp will be ready soon.
*sulks* But I wanted curly fries!
But, DU, you know I can’t get fast food, too much msg! You don’t want me to get a migraine, do you? *sulks also*
Well you don’t have to get anything for! How selfish are you? Besides I have a friend who’s a massage therapist, he’s great for migraines.
Huh? I still can’t figure this out? Is there a ‘you’ missing?
PS Massage therapy does NOT work for migraines. (At least not for mine and who cares about YOURS? *bwahahaha*)
Er, yeah, ‘yourself’ should come after ‘for’ and before ‘!’. My massage therapist friend cares about mine *cries* and he works for my migraines! Maybe you just have a sucky massage therapist! Of course I have tension migraines which cause my neck muscles to tense up as opposed to msg migraines which um..cause pain…through…by…with the…um..yeah.
The msg migraines are actually a secondary symptom caused by the msg-elevated blood pressure. The migraine triggers I can’t avoid are hormones and weather.
It’s hard talking about migraines because the term covers such a board range. I imagine massage therapy would work well for any problems caused primarily by tension. I actually see a DOM (Doctor of Oriental Medicine), who has helped a lot. (I used to have a constant pre-migraine eye pain about 75% of the time, which is pretty much gone now.
)
And what about us Female Linux users?
Or am I the only one…
I dunno if I’m a Linux fanboy (I don’t have Linux installed anywhere), but PK captions that are simply wrong are intrinsically less funny than ones that are right or prescient.
I’m not really sure you’re much of a judge of what’s “funny” around here.
If only the truth was funny, this whole “internet” place would be pretty damn boring.
if by “funny” you mean “preachy” and “obnoxious” and “makes me want to punch cute baby seals” and “makes me want to smash in EWAsshats face with a crowbar”… then EWAdams is the highest authority on “funny”.
You know, since he decided to pop in, maybe he should stick around for a few. There are a couple people who would like to have a word with him. Hey, Dhoti, you have anything you’d like to tell EWAdams while he’s here?
*snerk*
Just out of morbid curiosity, do ever go back and reread the drivel you ‘create’? I suspect that if they used your lols at Gitmo instead of waterboarding the terrorists would give up everything they know after just seeing three of them.
I don’t know… My fel-eye-ne coaption sucked enough… V-.
*******
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, a Wonderful, Safe and Prosperous New Year… but above all else… Wishing everyone Peace!! See you all again in ’10.
Best Wishes,
MG
Aw, you too, hon!
And to you!
Merry Ho-ho to you, too, MG!!! Have a fabulous holiday with your family and friends.
Merry Christmas!
Smoke 2 joints in time of peace…
Merry Christmas!
merry christmas MG! have a good one and get totally hammered on new years so that 2010 starts out better than 2009 ended!
My title for any given reflection on this year: “2009: Boy did that suck”
seems a fair enough title. the subtitle should be something along the lines of “the only thing that kept me from killing all the stupid people was the illegality of it”.
Shortright, I’m getting the impression that you may be having a slight problem with stupid people……nothing concrete, mind you, just this faint vibe I’m picking up from you.
just this *holds fingers a fraction of a millimeter apart* much of a problem… /sarcasm
I’m riiiiiiight there with you.
you bring the guns, i’ll bring the ammo, steve’ll bring the booze… we’ll take care of the stupid problem. k?
Can I bring a missile? My best friend’s brother works at an armory.
Sounds like the plan is shaping up.
And you waited this long to tell us? Geez, we could’ve been halfway done by now!
**pops head out of cubicle** Missiles? Cleansing of the Stupid People? Where do I sign up?
Stupid people are fun. Stupid companies are also fun. We have a bazillion items advertised this week. We don’t have half of them in stock. My department is cleaned out, and it’s my job to make it look good and all the displays look somewhat close to full. It’s getting very frustrating.
Happens to us all the time at the liquor store. Head office will put items on sale that we don’t carry in our store and then won’t give us alternate items to offer. Then the customers get pissed at us because we’re not prepared.
i tend to not get upset with the clerks/store workers because i know THEY didn’t do it. but if there’s a store manager around… all hell MAY break loose.
Well, at my store, the managers have nothing to do with that either. The entire replenishment process is a joke. If you want to order stuff for a sale you have to send a special e-mail, and during the holidays you’ve got a better than average chance of said e-mail getting rejected. It’s ridiculous.
Borders likes to send us the things for specials and sales about the day the sale ends or two months in advance. If it’s two months in advance we end up with a crap ton of junk we have to store in the back room where we don’t have space for it :/
So glad the library doesn’t have specials, or sales goals to meet.
I do understand that people get frustrated. I always try to remember when I’m in a store and something’s pissed me off that it’s not the cashier’s fault (most of the time). I must say that I have a lot of customers that are very nice and don’t blame the cashiers. That always makes my day.
It’s like blaming the waitress for the crappy food that gets served.
Hey man…. you’re the face of the company at the time. I got chewed out by an Admiral once because I was wearing my old companies jacket at a store, off base. $hit happens
Yeah, but at least you can get rain checks.. When I’ve asked for one here I get a WTF look and get told sorry.
It seems as if the company sensed a crappy holiday season, and compensated by keeping stock purposely low so we wouldn’t get caught with a ton of extra stuff after Christmas. But they massively underestimated what we would really need and we got cleaned out on a number of big sellers and smaller items with massive price cuts. Part of my job is getting all the 50% off items and putting them all on a table for easy shopping. The table is looking pretty bleak lately.
Could be worse. I leave plates with steak at the end of my driveway to attract stray cats. NEVER take food away from gray tabbies. they get NASTY!
I have two gray tabbies. One is a fat, lazy, grumpy old man of a cat who managed to rip me to shreds despite being declawed when we had to force feed him while sick. The other one is a rather skittish smaller one who has not been declawed who has managed to keep my hands for 3 years now from ever being scratch or bite-free. I know what you mean.
Same to you MG!
All the best MG! We look forward to more of your insights in the coming year!
Linux started in 1991. Unix started in 1970…1969 depending on who you ask. Obviously whoever posted this lol was a non-techie.
Linus Torvalds was born 28 december 1969, maybe (s)he thought it was close enough 1970. Still: Linus != Linux
Perhaps they were assuming that he wouldn’t start developing the operating system until he was at least six weeks old?
The date was all I could think about too was about to post that Linux started in 1991 lol
LINUX started in 1991!
Did you happen to read through the other posts that addressed this? Oh wait, don’t tell me your parents named you Redundant..
Repetition R. Redundant. Can’t remember what the R stands for.
Repeat?
*taps forehead*
I can’t remember either, but I think it ends in tard.
Retard?
I was aiming for Recycled.
Nah, it’s Repetition Redundancy Redundant…..the Third.
It’s the department of redundancy department.
*considers doing something stupid before going back to bed* Aw, what the hell…
I don’t use Linux, I use Firefox!
*runs*
*throws stapler at ur head* (only in his imagination)
So… am I the only one thinking… 2008?
Yes.
Me, I’m thinking Arby’s….
I’m thinking about poodles….
That’s just twisted! Oh wait, you’re Canadian.. nevermind.
Look, I don’t know WHY I’m thinking about poodles….I just am…..
Wouldn’t that be ‘frozen poodles’?
Now that’s just ridiculous. They’re wearing coats and booties.
*confused* I thought you had all the booty?
ZOMG, there was an adorable mini poodle at work last night! I stopped to pet it for a few minutes and when I told it I had to go back to work it rolled over on it’s back and demanded a tummy rub. It was sooo cute.
*dons old Arby’s uniform and drive thru headset*
Welcome to Arby’s! Would you like to try a Market Fresh combo today?
Oh great. Now I’m thinking Arby’s. Thanks, diss.
Sorry. I haven’t been able to get anything to eat today so I’m….well, I’m really hungry.
*goes back to work on her stupid brief that’s due tomorrow*
Oh, if you DO go to Arby’s, Rando, bring me back some, ok?
I’ve got a hankering for one of them roast burgers they’ve got. Those are actually pretty darn good.
You do realize that you all are responsible for me buying roast beef just now when I was grocery shopping? I just had this weird feeling that I wanted it….
Can I get some curly fries?
Um, grocery shopping. They didn’t have fries, unless you want to start from potatoes. You may, however, have some of the roast beef. There are some nice baguettes to put it on.
Screw Arby’s. My wife is bringing home Wendy’s for me instead. Baconator here I come!
I can hear your arteries hardening from here. And I’m jealous!
Not any more, curse you!!!!!
Using Vopium and its cheaper then any other operator or VoIP service, try their Reach out package.
Oh my god!!! They killed Pengu!!
must be from the Copenhagen protests, the death of wild animals in the south pole… that kinda deal!
Its still funny to think of it as a South Park episode!
Windows fanboys wished…
and yeah, 1991 not 1970..
Well, if she’s been pregnant for the last few years, then you’d better do it while you’ve got the chance. Geez, bunnies on Clomid don’t reproduce that often.
i only see her about once a year and the kids were a few years apart but when she’s holding an infant or knocked up i would have felt bad about it. she’s been fixed now, so no more babies for her… i think it’s fair game for a bit to make up for lost time though.
(for clarification, they’ve only got 2 kids but they’re just about 2 1/2 years apart so as soon as my niece was past the “clinging to mama” phase she got knocked up again with my nephew who is now 5mo.)
I say game on, shorty! And after you punch her in the ovaries you can jam her head into the toilet because we all know that’s what happens to nerds.
Praise be to the gods, I think I’ve finally been able to leave my nerdiness at the door. All I care about now is whether my internet is working. Beyond that I could give a flying f*ck.
Hmmm… predictions of insecure Linux fanboys crying foul over this unfunny LOL by idiots who don’t understand computers and think it’s funny to talk about punching women in the ovaries… meanwhile the comments show a definite lack of ‘insecure Linux fanboys’ and instead some very normal comments pointing out that this LOL is, well, poorly researched and not very funny.
Sounds like a few luddite technophobes are the insecure ones… losers.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Rants ensued, insults were flunged and they all fell emotionally to pieces even before the so-called rabid linux fanpeople’s reared their keyboards of hate. I would be slightly amused if I wasn’t already rapidly getting bored with this site now.
