Linux Tips, Hacks, Tutorials, And Ideas In Blog Format
Today is Sunday, 1st April and I’m going to see some practical jokes everywhere…
I was just wondering about the origin of this custom. Unfortunately Wikipedia has no information.
I will update this post later on with some good jokes and other stuff 🙂
Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) is a controversial anti-piracy program initiated by Microsoft that requires users of Microsoft Windows to validate the authenticity of their copy of several recent Microsoft operating systems when accessing several Microsoft Windows services, such as Windows Update, and downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.
Now you have a Linux Genuine Advantage program 😉
Linux Genuine Advantage is an exciting and mandatory new way for you to place your computer under the remote control of an untrusted third party!
According to an independent study conducted by some scientists, many users of Linux are running non-Genuine versions of their operating system. This puts them at the disadvantage of having their computers work normally, without periodically phoning home unannounced to see if it’s OK for their computer to continue functioning. These users are also missing out on the Advantage of paying ongoing licensing fees to ensure their computer keeps operating properly.
Just open firefox and type about:mozilla followed by [enter] key…
You will see message:
And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced.But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

From time to time, Wikipedia’s contributors have waded into bloody, internecine battles over the online encyclopedia’s entries. This is collection of funny edit wars.
In true Wiki-fashion, a special page now exists to catalog the nastiest and most trivial of them all. From the page:
Occasionally, Wikipedians lose their minds and get into edit wars over the most petty things. This is to document that phenomenon. This page isn’t comprehensive or authoritative, but it is designed to show the “worst-case” result of people attaching so much importance to some trivial detail that they are willing to engage in the lame pastime of edit warring over an even lamer cause. Back in the good old days, people settled this sort of thing with a gunfight. Now they do it by screwing with an encyclopedia. Truly, the Wikipedia outlook has changed the way things get done. Specifically, it has changed them from actually getting done to never getting done. On the other hand, nobody gets shot, either.
Here are few, I think quite funny:

If you have, you have likely been rejected, but don’t understand what she means. This handy guide will put rejection into terms we can all understand HTTP Response codes.
Implementation via PHP:
header(“HTTP/1.0 306 (Unused)”);
“I’m a virgin.”
