I’m off to attend a Christmas party in a few minutes, so I remember that last year I posted here some wacky Christmas tech jokes like the following:
* Christmas Jokes For IT Professionals
* Christmas Jokes For Geeks
* Microsoft Jokes for Christmas
Since it’s holiday season already, let’s keep the tech jokes coming with this parody of [...]

Happy Saturday to you!
The holidays are looming larger every day now and, I don’t know about you, but it’s giving me a migraine. Lots of stress and craziness, mostly surrounding who’s getting what for whom and constantly wondering if they’re overdoing it or not doing enough. This is why, a long long time ago, when [...]

Sometimes bad things just happen, we all know that. And sometimes they happen to our loved ones (we’re talking about our computers here).
For the last five years the data recovery company Kroll Ontrack has been publishing a yearly list of strange ways people have broken their computers and/or hard drives. We here at Pingdom have [...]

Each holiday, our gift lists include relatives, co-workers, party hosts, the occasional probation officer, and first and second-tier acquaintances. To manage all these people, normal folks without a cadre of elves to do the shopping have to break it down between mandatory vs. optional, personal vs. easy. But then there are the one or two [...]

Hey there,
Hope your Saturday is going swimmingly, work isn’t calling to bug you, your significant other is giving you that alone time you so desperately need or he/she is finally acknowledging your existence again
As per usual, we’re doing our best to find some quirky and/or original humor out there on the web, since [...]

The Linux blogosphere was buzzing last week with chatter about an article that asked who the top 10 geeks of all time are. Topping the list was Linus Torvalds, and notably absent were both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs — omissions that sparked significant discussion.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who are the greatest geeks of [...]

Behind every great technology there’s almost always a great geek, the men and women whose vision and invention helped create the world and its technology as we know it.
Often unsung and underappreciated, their own personalities or lifestyles usually keep them from gaining greater public recognition.
You won’t find any smooth-talking chief executives or business masterminds who [...]

All right. We can’t be serious about SCO all the time. Time for a laugh. And this is funny. Thanks to Christopher B. Wright’s using a Creative Commons license for his cartoons, we can add this one to our permanent collection. Enjoy.
P.S. I also love Ubersoft’s phrase at the top of [...]

Yesterday, my post was about the latest stupid remarks by Steve Ballmer at the Gartner Symposium ITxpo. Today, we’ll take a look at his all time most ridiculous quotes. Sorry if this has become a two-day ‘Steve Ballmer’s Stupid Words Special’.
Anyway, we are just having some fun here so just sit back, relax, and enjoy [...]

I have collected 50 of my favorite “Linux quotes” of all time. Feel free to add yours. Enjoy!
50. I develop for Linux for a living, I used to develop for DOS.
Going from DOS to Linux is like trading a glider for an F117.
– Lawrence Foard, entropy@world.std.com
49. Avoid the Gates of Hell. Use Linux.
– unknown source
48. [...]

You may recall, just a few days ago (I think…), we put out a script do language translation using Yahoo/AltaVista’s Babelfish interface. I mentioned, briefly, in that post that, when translating something into a foreign language, I always like to do a “reverse translation” using the translated output from my original query, and see how [...]

Good Morning! (I count morning as “whenever you wake up (especially if you’re tethered to a pager).” Today, Morning began at 7:03pm CST
For this Sunday’s Linux and Unix humor break, I found this dated (yet still relevant) joke on the net and, not being able to believe I found it, downloaded the page [...]

A fine Saturday to you, or Sunday if you’re an Australian who (according to my time charts) lives in the future Today, we’ve got some more jokes and humour, of a Unix and Linux flavour. None of our senses of humour are probably exactly the same, but I try to pick out some halfway [...]

Hey There,
This weekend’s comedic gold is quite a bit older than I would have thought. I feel like I’ve missed out, although I’m glad that someone finally mailed this link to me This is a simple (although a bit long at around 10 minutes) video that is absolutely hilarious. If you’ve ever done any [...]

There are times when I want to let my geekiness out and I want the world to know about it. I decided to share with you my favorite collection of Linux t-shirts that you also might like. Please share you ideas for healthy geeking in the comments.

Ordinarily I don’t pay any more attention to Microsoft than I have to, but this was too funny to ignore: A Better View of Microsoft Security?; Microsoft to expand its Trustworthy Computing in a bid to help users and vendors understand security risks.
Sean Michael Kerner is an excellent reporter, and gives the impression of keeping [...]

Hey There,
This week I’ve extended the humor section to include today. The main reason for this (as alluded to in the title) is an operating system (the name rhymes with Mistah) that is probably the worst thing I’ve ever had to work on in my entire life. It’s taking massive constraint to make today’s humor [...]

Another linux zealot at my old job gave me the heads up on this, it’s directly from gnome-cups-manager, and I thought you would all enjoy it. If you’re not aware, the readme file is for a Gnome graphical front-end for a tool used to manage print queues and adding printers/etc.
The only question is what illicit [...]

We have collected some of the best quotes from three of the most influential people in the history of operating systems: Steve Jobs (Apple), Linus Torvalds (Linux) and Bill Gates (Microsoft).
Some of these quotes may surprise you, especially the older ones. For your convenience, we have put the quotes in chronological order.
(We have to wonder [...]
