Brilliant.

[Vortex]

Takes a few minutes to watch..., but pretty nice..

(Note how he doesn't mention Amiga OS )

He did actually say "(something something) the Amiga (something something) did was they were supposed todo"

^^

[Vortex]

Allow me to rephrase that: He didn't say the Amiga OS sucked

# /usr/bin/girl - Oh yes, it's quite real.
#
# An open source project, hosted at http://code.google.com/p/girl
#
# Background:
# Have you ever seen the tee-shirt bearing the line '#!/usr/bin/girl'? Perhaps
# you've come across a popular blogger who has that in her headline? Maybe a
# geek friend has concocted the term in an email meant to instruct you on what
# you, as a girl, should use. Whatever the case, it would take tremendous will-
# power to resist looking in the /usr/bin directory to see whether or not there
# really *is* a program by that name. Sadly, in most cases, no - there isn't.
# Until now, that is! Install girl into /usr/bin, and show your family, friends
# and associates that you do indeed wield this mysterious force of which many
# have spoken and few have truly seen in the wild.
#
# Instructions:
# Install this file as /usr/bin/girl on any *NIX system, and you will have a
# real executable available for your amusement. You'll need sudo or root access
# to fiddle around in /usr/bin, so be sure you're an authorized individual prior
# to any attempts at copying stuff in there. If you want it to run, you'll also
# need to chmod +x it, of course. As with any new code, read the source to make
# sure it's doing stuff you want it to be doing before you install and run it!
#
# Invitation:
# Please help me develop this project to its potential. I'm a guy. Yes, I'm
# basing my plea for your valuable time and involvment on sheer irony.
#
# Information:
# As a hacker, and more importantly as the father of a presently-two-years-old
# girl, I have great respect and admiration for the girls who have greatly
# altered the courses of history and technology through their contributions to
# programming and, indeed, all facets of information technology. Computers are
# not the realm of guys alone by any means, and even a basic knowledge of the
# origins of computer science would instantly dispel such a mythical stereo-
# type in any who would ignorantly succumb to the media's portrayal of our
# professions. In honor of women everywhere who see problems as a challenge,
# and who create solutions by rising to those challenges, I am compiling a
# history of women in technology at this project's wiki on its Google Code site.
# Your contributions of research and writing for that wiki would be just as
# welcome as contributions of code for this executable. Thank you!
#
# Dedication:
# For Aeysha, who doesn't understand.
# For Tegan, who hopefully will one day.
# And for Ada, whose father must have been very proud.

# Development notes:
# Yes, it's a shame. I know. But after 20 years of programming, I am only just
# now posting my first SVN commit. This, in fact, happens to be that very same
# commit I mentioned only seconds ago. The first one.
#
# So what exactly should /usr/bin/girl *do*? Well, to get this off the ground in
# style, and to keep it simple and iterative, we'll start this project off with
# one task and one task alone. We can add features and morph it as it develops.
# In fact, check out the wiki for an open-invite discussion on what, exactly,
# this executable should *do*.
#
# And now, without further ado:

echo "w00t!"

Hmm. As a guy from a German-speaking country I must say: a very interesting modern approach to Dadaism.
(Or rather nihilism?!)
(you know it was us to have had them all: Schwitters, Jandl ...)

• C
  You shoot yourself in the foot
• C++
  You shoot yourself in the foot and then accidentally delete the pointer that points to it. Your foot is now in the garbage and there is no way to retrieve it
• Java
  It looks like your gun but some things are missing and others are in the wrong place. While trying to figure out how to use it you accidentally shoot yourself in the groin
• Modula-2
  After realizing that you can't actually accomplish anything in the language, you shoot yourself in the head
• Pascal
  Same as Modula-2, except that the bullets are the wrong type and won't pass through the barrel. The gun explodes
• Fortran
  You shoot yourself in each toe, iteratively, until you run out of toes, then you read in the next foot and repeat. If you run out of bullets, you continue anyway because you have no exception-processing ability
• Algol
  You shoot yourself in the foot with a musket. The musket is aesthetically fascinating, and the wound baffles the adolescent medic in the emergency room
• Cobol
  You describe the gun, the foot, and the process of shooting the foot with the gun in great detail. You then shoot yourself in the head
• APL
• You hear a bang, your foot hurts, but you don't know enough linear algebra to figure out what happened
• Lisp
  You shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which ....
• Forth
  Foot in yourself shoot
• Assembly
  You shoot yourself in the foot with a machine gun. You attempt to slow down the fire rate but are unable to understand the program because there are no comments
• XBase
  Shooting yourself is no problem. If you want to shoot yourself in the foot, you have to use Clipper
• Basic
  Shoot yourself in the foot with a water-pistol. On big systems, continue until entire lower body is waterlogged
• Visual Basic
  You spend days designing the perfect user interface and then shoot yourself in the foot. Everyone is so impressed with the user interface you created they all use your program and shoot themselves in the foot
• HTML
  <a href="http://www.body.org/lower-half/leg/foot.html"> Shoot here </a>
  SQL
• You cut off your foot, send it to the service bureau and when it returns it has a hole in it, but no longer fits the end of your leg
• Dbase
  You pull the trigger, but the bullet moves so slowly that by the time it reaches your foot, you've forgotten why you shot yourself in the first place
• Python
  You shoot yourself in every other toe in order to create more whitespace and then show your foot to all your friends while bragging about how much better Python is than every other programming language
• Perl
  You shoot yourself in the foot 12 different ways

Thanks, that's great!!!

Eh, isn't this a script not a binary? /usr/bin would seem an odd place to put it then?

Oh, there are plenty of scripts there. "bin" has ended up meaning "stuff that can be executed" rather than binaries.
