The California budget has been cut so much, the state government can't even spell!

This goes to show just how much California has cut the state budget (and ROTFLMFAO, it is extremely funny, albeit risqué).

ROTFL.
I really don't like California too much anyway

Also, whats with the pink/purple background?

It's the default Ubuntu background starting with the Lucid Lynx (v10.04 LTS). I have 10.10 Alpha 1 (aka the Maverick Meerkat).

And yes, I did get a kick out of this one myself when I downloaded the file.

Was Ubuntu really bold enough to choose a background that 95% of boys and 60% of girls will not like? hehe!
Values are not actually real but likely ~true.

Handboobs are a very important resource. Always remember to read your handboobs!

That Ubuntu theme makes me wanna puke though. Canonical is really trying hard to make Ubuntu not to be taken seriously, and appeal to the tweens apparently.

While it doesn't really make me "wanna puke" (

), I think it does try to imitate Mac OS X quite a bit. Especially since they moved the default theme's window control buttons to the left instead of the right.

I don't like the default background, either. That's why I changed it in my U10.04 VM:

Sure, it's still one of the images that come with Ubuntu, but it's still better (IMO) than the default purple background...

EDIT: On a side note, I think I'm just gonna stop uploading images to LQ and use ImageShack or something instead. It keeps converting my image to a JPEG and scaling it down by 1x1 pixel. It makes it look ugly

My guess is that's because I've gone over half of my upload limit or something like that...

EDIT of EDIT: Here's an ImageShack link. I've removed the attachment.

Perhaps "boob" is more natural for the author to write on a keyboard ;P

Please #define tween.
Its not a word.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#define TWEEN "Someone between 10 and 12"

//The following is my interpretation of Jeebizz's opinion:

int main(int argc,char** argv)
{
    population_init(&argc,*argv);

    Company canonical;
    OperatingSystem ubuntu = {nick = "Lucid Lynx";
                              version = 10.04;}
    Kernel linux;

    while(canonical += ubuntu)
    {
        ubuntu.version += 0.6;
        ubuntu.nick = rand('A','Z'); //never used rand() before; are these the right params?
        ubuntu.appeal--;
           
        if(ubuntu.appeal <= 50)
        {
            ubuntu.audience = TWEEN;
            break; //Fail...?
        }

        kernel.version++;
    }
    return 0;    
}

As the old saying goes: "A boob in the hand is worth two in the bra."

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tween:

Preadolescence, the stage between middle childhood and adolescence in human development, generally in the age range of 10 to 12 years of age.

So I was right! YAY!

Although that doesn't make my C any better.

I really need to get some inspiration and/or motivation to write something useful; my C is getting rusty.

No.

And you didn't include stdlib.h, which has rand()!

Instead of writing a complex explanation, I'll just tell you to type this command:

Code:

man 3 rand

BTW, man is a great C function reference, I don't know how I did without it!

I can't decide if you're serious or if you're somehow mocking Sergei Steshenko...

Either way, I knew I f**ked up the rand() call, and I didn't really intend for the code to be executable anyway. It was just meant as a joke.
