When Linux Nerds Choose Mates from the Linux Herd...

/home/your ! /home/mine

We can't miss this classic:

unzip strip touch finger grep mount fsck more yes fsck,fsck,fsck umount sleep

(Although, one should never fsck while mounted, except as read-only.)

@pengiunist: Shouldn't that be "/home/your || /home/mine" (with || as binary OR)? Usually ! means NOT.

And also:

Man: SYN? Woman: ACK!

Man: SYN? Woman: ACK!

You've obviously heard about some of my dates...

Quoting:Man: SYN? Woman: ACK!

There supposed to be a SYN-ACK in between :)

You know...this thread is beyond pitiful No wonder we're all still single, living on Cheetos in our mom's basements.

I live on my own, thankyouverymuch.

And I already tried the marriage thing. As I figured, I wasn't missing much.

Hey now, I have my own room! I keep the servers and piles of old parts in the basement...... :P

I am? Someone should tell my wife. :)

Of course, she's enjoying sunny SC at the moment, while I'm buried under 16" of snow in WV, so maybe there's some truth to be found there. And some Cheetos would be good right now, if I didn't have to walk half a mile to get to my car since I can't get it back into my house because of the snow and ice. :(

It all depends on finding the right person gus3. As with so much in life.

I don't live with my mom!! My mom lives with me ;)

The question is: what is the type of the right person for a geek?

Someone with a sense of aesthetics, and also a sense of humor.

The first thirteen episodes of The Big Bang Theory should shed some light.

My mistake when younger was thinking that sex and marriage had some kind of causative relationship.

And my Mom is only visiting, really, in order to get a new laptop up and working with Linux.

Only if the father owns a shotgun. :)

Not that hard: -Wait for some new Apple pile of plastic horse.... to be released. iTab, iPad or what's it called will be fine. -Find the first person in the row of the opposite sex, -That one will be interested in fashion / art (which you as a geek lack) and probably have some social skills too, while at the same time care about gadgets. -Best part: That person will not mind if you digitally restrict him / her and act like her manager to what he / she may / can or may not / cannot do.

If you want something more romantical, go to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, because they will have Duran Duran performing - while you and your 'partner to be' still being able to try lots of new gadgets.

In fact I'm in the process of watching them :)

"-Why can't all guys be like you? -Because if all guys were like me the human race would not survive?"

I think I can relate to that...

/me munches Cheetos and looks for something to read.

A geek of course. Like my girlfriend. When she read this thread she had to laugh even harder than me :-D

> A geek of course. Like my girlfriend.

And like my wife. :)

And like my ex.

I let my partner know she's a geek.
