Actually in my country where we use Sinhalese as our language term “sudo” is not just technical :) Sudo refers to affectionate calling such as ‘darling’. So you could excute that command and could also receive results here in Sri Lanka.
So try it next time you are here !

“Web developer eats own arm and taken to mental asylum”
I gave a little quick link to a couple of those comics after spending most of the afternoon a few days back reading tons of them. I specifically wanted to link to this one but couldn’t find it again. So, thanks.

That thing cracked me up when I saw it a few weeks ago. Hilarious.

I think this may be the geekiest post I’ve ever seen on SvN… Lovin’ it, though!
Now to the problem of making it work in real life…

I so want to share this with my friends, but I think the 20 minutes it would take me to explain it to them would somehow take away from the funny.

Doesn’t SUDO usually ask for a password if you haven’t used the command in the last 5 minutes? Regardless, that made me laugh.

I cracked up. My girlfriend stared at me with the classic (I’m sure you’ve all seen it) “that is not funny, you are a loser” stare.

You know you are a geek when you are in a quiet coffee shop and you look at SvN and laugh out loud. Then everyone stares at you like you are insane.

That cartoon is f’ing funny.
Hmm…

O/T, but this kinda reminds me of the “Meetings are Toxic” post: http://yahoo.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/sep2006/sb20060927_259688.htm

Really funny… I nearly fell from my chair when I saw this.
And Dean, I’m not an American ;-)

I think it would be better:
“make me a sandwich”
“you have no right to ask me th - “
“sudo make me a sandwich”
“what’s the magic word?”
” ” (empty speech bubble)
“ok ok”
or something along those lines

Hehe, I don’t usually like super geeky shirts, but this one is perfect.
I also like the one that says…
“SCIENCE….It works BITCHES” I think even my wife would like that one.

xkcd is all over the place these days. It’s great to see the comic getting some well-deserved attention.
