Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,
Caret at back-tick dollar dollar dash,
Bang splat tick dollar under-score,
Percent splat waka waka number four,
Ampersand right-paren dot dot slash,
Vertical-bar curly-bracket tilde tilde CRASH.

quibble. I always thought | was "pipe"

Would make for an interesting hash for a one-time-pad cypher for use with a numbers station... (http://www.irdial.com/conet.htm)

When I think of *nix poetry I think of
----
static void happy_meal_tcvr_write(struct happy_meal *hp,
unsigned long tregs, int reg,
unsigned short value)
{
int tries = TCVR_WRITE_TRIES;

ASD(("happy_meal_tcvr_write: reg=0x%02x value=%04xn", reg,
value));

/* Welcome to Sun Microsystems, can I take your order please? */
if (!hp->happy_flags & HFLAG_FENABLE)
return happy_meal_bb_write(hp, tregs, reg, value);

/* Would you like fries with that? */
hme_write32(hp, tregs + TCVR_FRAME,
(FRAME_WRITE | (hp->paddr

Linux Haiku

A two percent boost
From Gentoo stage 1 install
I wasted my time

Your software's broken.
Does it suffer from MS?
Debilitating

emerge upgrade world
that's supposed to do the trick
uh oh, borked system

New NIC, same IP
Applied old MAC to new NIC
Doesn't Linux rock?

Fedora is slow
Next 2 days Gentoo installs
The problem is solved

All night with no sleep
Kaffeine your only partner
Damn thing still don't work

Use Gentoo Linux
Compile everything freshly
Learn Zen-like patience

I liked Debian
Packages so out-of-date
Gentoo is current

r m less r f
i-nodes scream in agony
space for new pursuits

Reboot yet again?
The Blue Darkness Engulfs Me.
Event Horizon!

Into The Vortex;
Illegal Operation;
Another reboot . . .

The Blue Screen of Death
Makes a mockery of us.
Time to go Linux?

Firefox used to block
Then in a flash they got past
will a patch fix it?

New Sager Laptop!
Will Linux Install Okay?
Tux did not fail me.

Fat Penguin runs well
no more blue sceens for my box
uptime is my friend

:mrgreen:

It is pipe, but for the sake of the poem it is also still just a "vertical bar"

./arch/sparc/kernel/ptrace.c:/* **** me gently with a chainsaw... */

The linux kernel has some great prose in the sparc areas...
