I may be wrong

, but from that very quote I gather that:

1) You're young
2) Either don't have a gf or haven't had too many yet..
3) have no idea what a marriage is worth (ie: No its just not worth the risk of getting caught)

(I realize/hope you're joking, I'm joking too)

But guys, we're hijacking the thread here

i'm married

she learned long ago not to keep me from m'puter, she's embarassed that she understands what i and techies around her office are talking about - she realised she had turned into a nerd when we were watching something on tele (some computer film, cant remember the name) and she blurted out "You cant do that!!"

When you make a list on a group entitled "you know when your using the computer to much when...

when you would gladly let your wife leave, and give her everthing but the computer

XavierP · 10-10-2003, 03:12 PM

hehehe - the follow up to CyberDoc is, of course, when you post to a thread entitled 'you know you're using your computer too much when ....."

when u wish people could be as reliable as linux

/bin/bash · 10-10-2003, 06:56 PM

Your favorite command is:
finger @kernel.org
Which you type 20 times a day.

MiscGeek · 10-10-2003, 07:11 PM

When you walk through the house, and mutter, cd <Room>, as you pass through each room...

When your wife talks to you using email or IM when you are both home...

When you wish you can take back something you said, or if you could get rid of someone bothering you, you start think ctrl u.
When you walking through a store looking for something you think grep * (fill in what you might be looking for)

codeviking · 10-12-2003, 03:14 AM

When you want to find out about something and immediately wonder if there's a man page for it.

Man, that is the funniest Linux joke I have ever heard. I could not stop laughing.

...you lose something IRL and start wondering where in the hell the "find" command is

(I've actually thought that)

...you initiate conversations by yelling at the top of your lungs "Who has <insert other person's name>? Tell <insert your name>" and wait for a response.

..or when you answer with 'ACK' to tell someone you've heared their question.
