Computers can be funny. Unfortunately, too much of computer humor is of the "dumb user" sort. I'm not overly fond of that kind of humor usually, because it too often depends on inside knowledge or familiarity. It can be funny, but I think it loses its appeal quickly. If you like that kind of thing, see http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/ and http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/cs_stuptech.shtml
So you won't find much if any of that here. You probably won't
fall off your chair laughing at any of these either, but these are
all true, at least mildly amusing, and computer related. They
aren't necessarily all Unix and Linux, but some of them are. There
are also computer related cartoons. Enjoy.
