“I’m not shopping for milk, I have a cow at home”

:Umm… Can’t disclose who said that since otherwise he will be in trouble! (And I’m sure he thought I would forget by the time I got back to a computer esp after the number of drinks we’d had!) The intelligent will be able to discern the context on their own 🙂

chmod a+x /bin/laden

:another unix-geek joke about our friend Mr. Laden. chmod is Change Mode. a means for all. +x means execute permissions. So this translates to change mode for all to execute bin Laden 🙂

Note: these are quoted here not because I support or don’t support what they say, but purely for the unix humor sake! 🙂
