Unix Lovers to Party Like It's 1234567890

This is a darn good reason to celebrate! I'm going to pick up a bottle of Jim Beam, and a couple hookers on my way home from work tonight.

You, too? Too bad you live in the Commonwealth, Bricky. I've got here in my hot little hands some real kick-ass tequila (not Cuervo for Bog's sake, which is 49% vodka). Gonna party hearty tonite! Got my Unix System Administration tome and a pitcher of margaritas at the ready. Thank Bog it's Friday!

Tequila is E-VIL. The Devils sweat. It makes me CRA-ZY.

_{(me and the girls will be over, how does 7 sound?)}

Cool! We'll have the gurney ready.

The Ten OS Commandments:

"And the Operating System spoke these words saying I am the UNIX your OS…

ONE: 'You shall have no other Operating Systems before Me.'

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a graphical icon that is multicolored and clickable with a mouse or trackball or any pointing device.'

THREE: 'You shall not misspell or mix the case of the UNIX your OS.'

FOUR: 'Remember your process ID and keep it holy.'

FIVE: 'Honor your system administrator and source code repository.'

SIX: 'You should not reboot; instead, kill offending and non essential processes; rebooting is a last resort.'

SEVEN: 'You shall not abuse your file access privileges.'

EIGHT: 'You shall not take the credit for code and scripts that you steal.'

NINE: 'You shall not login as another user without informing them.'

TEN: 'You shall covet you neighbor's shell scripts, source code, profile, shell and anything else that you can learn.'"
