[fatality_uk]

Have started my UF timer to see how long it is before this gets merged or placed into recurring... :D

tick tick tick...

[TBOL3]

You know, on my old computer, I did type in free the fish, but I could never get the fish to go away. A would type it in now if anyone would tell me how to get rid of the fish.

[diafanos]

Just do Alt+F2 and type


killall gnome-panel

[Masoris]

$ sudo apt-get moo
(__)
(oo)
/------\/

* /\---/\

...."Have you mooed today?"...
$ yes
I didn't know that before, there are command names 'yes'. 'Yes' command makes me more moo.

Not exactly a command but there's a good easter egg in open office:

1. create a new sheetin openoffice.org Calc (spreadsheet)
2. enter this formula in a cell :
=game()
and validate (validation button or enter)
3.the cell will display "say what?"
4. Enter this formula:
=GAME("StarWars")
5. a new window will open with a little game star war game.
6. But if you type again this formula, the cell will return the display "oh no, not again!"

wth... yes is at version 6.10

why would you need multiple versions of a prgram that just repets something?

[bruce89]

what does the "yes" command do? all it does it make an infinite thing of "y"'s

It is for things like fsck when it asks for confirmation to fix things.

cowsay -f dragon.cow ROAR, fear me...

lol

[TBOL3]

None of these *.cow files work, am I doing something wrong?

[Jim!]

Thankyou for this thread! I could remember there was a command to get a 'cow' to show up in the terminal but I couldn't remember what it was! Why would I want to make a cow appear in the terminal? Cause its awesome;) Also that "free the fish" thing i freakin awesome:D
