do the admin's have to "publish" it to make it public instead of our own private ones (I assume not jsut anyone can edit our own personal pages?)
Coz never one to shirk a Monty Python challenge Here is Scene 1, Act 1
Kernighan:
Ahem.Newbie's Mother:
Ohhh! Who are you?Kernighan:
We are three wise men.Newbie's Mother:
What?!Kernighan:
We are three wise men.Newbie's Mother:
Well, what are you doing creeping around a data center at two o'clock in the morning? That doesn't sound very wise to me.
Tannenbaum:
We are Systems Administrators.Kernighan:
We have come from Berkeley.Newbie's Mother:
Is this some kind of joke?Ritchie:
We wish to praise the infant.Kernighan:
We must pay homage to him.Newbie's Mother:
Homage? You're drunk. It's disgusting. Out! The lot, out!Kernighan:
No--Newbie's Mother:
Bursting in here with tales about hippie SysAdmins. Come on. Out!Ritchie:
No, no. We must see him.Newbie's Mother:
Go and praise someone else's brat! Go on!Ritchie:
We--Kernighan:
We were led by a traceroute.Newbie's Mother:
Led by a bottle, more like. Go on. Out!Kernighan:
We must see him. We have brought presents.Newbie's Mother:
Out!Ritchie:
CD-ROMS. Books. LinModemsNewbie's Mother:
Well, why didn't you say?
He's over there.
Sorry the place is a bit of a mess.
Well, what is a LinModem, anyway?Tannenbaum:
It is a software modem.Newbie's Mother:
A software modem?
What are you giving him a software modem for?
It might lock him into a single vendor.Tannenbaum:
What?Newbie's Mother:
That's a closed source driver that is. Quick! Throw it in the trough.Kernighan:
No, it isn't.Newbie's Mother:
Yes, it is. It's great, big mmm...Tannenbaum:
No, no, no. It is has an F/OSS driver.Newbie's Mother:
Aww, there is an modem with a closed source driver,... or did I dream it? So, you're Systems Administrators, are you? Well, what is he then?
Ritchie:
Hmm?Newbie's Mother:
What user-level is he?Ritchie:
Uh, Kernel Hacker.Newbie's Mother:
Uhh, Kernel Hacker, eh? What are they like?Ritchie:
Ooh, he is the son of RMS, our Messiah.Tannenbaum:
King of the F/OSS Movement.Newbie's Mother:
And that's Kernel Hacker, is it?Ritchie:
Uh, no, no, no. That's just him.Newbie's Mother:
Ohh, I was going to say, 'Otherwise, there'd be a lot of them.'Kernighan:
By what name are you calling him?Newbie's Mother:
Uh, 'Newbie'.Sysadmins:
We worship you, O Newbie, who are Lord over us all. Praise unto you, Newbie, and to RMS, our Father. Amen.
Newbie's Mother:
Do you do a lot of this, then?Ritchie:
What?Newbie's Mother:
This praising.Ritchie:
No, no. No, no.Newbie's Mother:
Er, well, um, if you're dropping by again, do pop in.
Heh.
And thanks a lot for the CD-ROMs and books, er, but don't worry too much about the LinModems next time.
All right?
Heh. Thank you. Good-bye.
[Sysadmins leave]
Well, weren't they nice?
Hmm. Out of their bloody minds, but still.
Look at that. Hoo hoo hoo.
[Sysadmins return and grab presents]
Here! Here! Here, that-- that's mine! Hee.
Hey, you just gave me that! Oh.
Newbie:
[crying]Newbie's Mother:
Shut up.
[smack]Joshua Penix: Kernel Panic! God...
ROFLMAO. Fscking brilliant! Here, let me provide the scene just before the one you provided:
Neil: Ladies and gentlemen. The next presentation is Lan Barnes talking about tcl/tk.
<SNIP>
/me claps!
Excellent! Well done! this has the makings of a 'net meme if I ever saw one... Anyone else want to contribute? Perhaps a bit where Brian is forced to write 'GNU's Not Unix' 100 times on the wall before dawn or get his balls cut off? Or maybe where the old man jumps around dancing and saying "Open Source" "Open Source" while Microsofties dressed as Slashdotters with sequential UID's get ready to stone him with astroturf.
Or perhaps a little musical number from the end:
"Always look for the source, when downloading files, *whistle whistle whistle*"
