This is going to be the offical "what should we put on the CAOS T-shirts" thread. The first submission comes from your fearless sexretary.
Front: "There are 10 kinds of people in this world"
Back: "Those that are in C.A.O.S. and those that aren't."
Please post your own ideas!
I vote for
Front: "There are 10 kinds of people in this world"
Back: "Those that are in C.A.O.S. and those that aren't."
But then again, I (the fearless sexretary) did come up with the great idea.
I'm flattered Bryan. At least you didn't post that picture of me from work.
which one? this one?

If only we had enough traffic to slashdot your site.
I think my host would be upset with me :-P

That's the idea.
I definitely like the "There are 10 kinds of people in this world" shirt.
Throwing some other ideas out there though, what about a shirt with a user ranking type thing on it. Have shirts with five stars on the front and the corresponding saying below them like:
"I have no life; so, I respond to my own posts."
"A lesser deity of CAOS."
"A GOD among MEN. I have all the answers!"
Just one of those sayings on the front of course. Then, you could put CAOS on the back. Just a thought! :-D
That would be really cool too.
Maybe a combination of the two??
I know that if we have to have several different kinds of shirts (for the rankings), it would be more expensive. So that is a consideration we have would have to keep in mind.
Having shirts for each of the different rankings would be expensive. Couldn't we just let EVERYONE think they are "A GOD among MEN" and that they "have all the answers!"? :-P
I like the implications that "A GOD among MEN" has for female CAOS members.
Nothing cooler than a geek girl, if I do say so myself ;-)
Just because I believe in brainstorming ideas ...
Have you ever seen those t-shirts that have math formulas or physics formulas printed upside down on the front (so the wearer could look down to be reminded of the formula)? We could put algorithms :-D
I don't know if my idea is possible but I thought it would be funny.
Front: A normal PC "smiling"
Back: A PC with CAOS on it and modified alittle with bubble saying "I feel violated". PC frowning.
Best idea I can think of.

You would probably have to do a little modification to relate it to CAOS, but I came up with an idea for a shirt when I was boored in class when I was still going to SIU. :bored:
On the back it would look like Task Manager's process tab and would list processes something as follows:
Image Name_________CPU %
Paying attention______00
Staring at the wall____01
Breathing____________01
Planning weekend_____03
System Idle Process___95
8-)
We'd probably still have to modify it to relate it to CAOS somwhow.
I'm still fond of the 10 kinds of people one.
I smell a poll coming up soon. :idea:
that's windows specific, "you insensitive clod!" i would rather not sully my appearance with such plebian threads.
(but seriously, i do hold some disdain for windows)
The only thing I don't like about the 10 kinds of people is that it's a little tired, old and overused.
It's cousin: "How many people can read hex if only you and dead people can read hex?" Is much more fresh, esoteric and therefore geeky.
The back of the shirt would then have the answer: 57006
More phrasal ideas:
Code Monkey
esrever
reenigne
(or for the truly inside joke twist:
esrever
gnirenigne )
PEBKAC
146.163.150.31
Promote Safe Hex
Join CAOS
Resistance is futile
SYN
ACK
(could be front/back or
offset right/left on the front)
Some of these ideas are best used in combination with others.
I'd REALLY like to see a small w00t! at the bottom of the back in addition to whatever CAOS/GOD amoung MEN references are there
I'm really liking the Promote Safe Hex--Join CAOS idea.
Now if only Dooly didn't put me to sleeping in 312 I could remember the conversions. -_-
Some ideas:
A black shirt with "POKE 53281, 0" on the front in white. (Maybe that's too esoteric?)
(define geek? (lambda(x)
(and (like? (computers)
(digital? (watch))))
A 2 or 3 iteration
Hilbert curve - neat looking, and only people who know what it is will understand the meaning.
Or, perhaps just "I could have been a rabbit farmer."

Which of course leaves you open to a lot of embedded jokes in the PIDs etc.
(formatting that into something halfway readable was a pain)
I came up with that back when _I_ was still windows specific.
(I hold some disdain for Windows too, Bill.)
I like the idea of embedding jokes in the PIDs, Elizabeth. If you remember, my Senior Project group had plenty of embedded jokes in our HEX code, etc. My favorite was actually unintentional: Phil Ness hosted the website and answered e-mails for the EE side of the project, so their website was www.siue.edu/~pness and the contact was pness@siue.edu. And Ehlmann thought we should have that information in all our presentations. :-D
By the way, Elizabeth, shouldn't you be working? ;-)
I REALLY like the idea of having a Wuism on the shirt.
How about "Cooda is a whatah?"
:lol:
Backside? Ask your friendly neighborhood CAOS member
Cooda is a whatah!!!!
Dr. Wu is so much fun to make fun of!!!
There are a lot of great ideas coming out in this thread, Tyler do you want to start looking into places that do T-shirts? You are the publicity guy.
Bryan :jumpy:
CAOS Treasurer
I'll get on it.
I think a lot of the ideas are really good. I like the one about "A GOD among MEN! I have all the answers!"
What if, on the back, we also put a little bit of complete geek on it (like this)....
movb $A, %al
shlb 2, %al
orb $2, %al
This just places 0xA in a the lower 8-bit of the EAX accumulator, then it shifts it left by 2 (multiplies it by 4) and or's it by 2 (adds 2 to it).
It gives the meaning to life, the universe, and everything, which is 42.
NOTE: I could be a little off with that. I'm a bit new to Intel ASM and AT&T syntax.
It can't be too geeky or else I won't understand it either.
I think something like the three lines of assembly would be good as an addition. It can make us look really intelligent, living in the "Hacker Underground", where all kinds of mischevious things can happen.
Most people will just look at us and say to themselves, "Dub-you Tee Eff?"
I think most people look at us with that kind of look regardless
oh and Mike, I absolutely refuse to let any asm touch the shirts, too many bad memories :lol:
Anybody with some artistic/graphics talent want to volunteer to draw up some of these ideas in a jpeg/bmp/gif etc and post them? I'm not the best artist, and I already know the place we'll go, and they need a print to give us an estimate.
After we get some mocked up, we'll use a poll to decide.
The poll is up and so are the designs. They may be a little crude, I'm not the best at graphics.
Vote for your favorite!
I thought the one with the "A GOD among men... " would have the quote on the FRONT with CAOS on the BACK, and five stars ABOVE the quote, like on the site itself. Just a suggestion...
Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but when I look at it, it has the rank and then the stars BELOW it.
Am I looking at this wrong?
You are right :) Ross is just trying to confuse the kindergartners that look at this site regularly :)
**blink blink**
...
Ya' know... I ALMOST looked back at that just to be sure... but no... I was TOTALLY convinced that it was the other way... so yeah... **hides in shame**
... And Mike... watch it...
... I grade yo' homework... :-D
Is the "Mountatin Dew" thing meant as a joke, or is that just a typo?
Typo. Just fixed it. Sorry.
Instead of â€Ã...“Will code for Mountain Dew.â€Ã, It should say something like â€Ã...“Will Code for Caffeine.â€Ã, This small change solves two problems.
1. We will not have to worry about the legality problems that can sometimes appear when using brand names on campus. You would not think anyone would have a problem with us using the words â€Ã...“Mountain Dewâ€Ã, but the school threw a fit when Pete Motykowski tried to advertise the â€Ã...“Red Hat Road Tourâ€Ã, because the advertisements contained the brand name â€Ã...“Red Hat.â€Ã,Â
2. If you like Pepsi instead of Mountain Dew then the shirt still works. ;-)
I really hate this university some times
You're right. I thought about that when I made it. I'll change it when I get back from work tonight.
--update--
Changed Mt. Dew to caffeine.
Hey how about some fun code on the back of T-shirt number 5
like:
void main()
{
while (caffeine && pizza)
{
bugs = hack_program();
hack_count += debug_program();
}
if (hack_count < MAX_INT)
pat_on_the_back();
if (program_runs)
write_comments()
}
I don't think I should change it while the poll is still going. I guess I'll change it afterwords and get some opinions then.
Hey what did you think?
Those all look real great. Can't wait to see the final results so we can start pimpin' them around. :-D
Nice job on the graphics btw Tyler.

Thanks and no problem.
Darn I just thought of a new one:
"I'm having an Evil Andrew day"
With of course a picture of Evil Andrew
The tshirts prints are being made.
Order yours today via the online order form (http://antifusion.com/caos/tshirt.php).
to be honest, the "coodah is a whatah" design was the only design i would have bought hahahah (and anyone else that took CS 330 would agree)
students should get a shirt as a complimentary gift for completing the course, kinda like a "I survived CS 330 and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"
Quote"I'm having an Evil Andrew day"
With of course a picture of Evil Andrew
Oh man!! I Want That One!!
Did I miss the t-shirt ordering?
We have had a change in the tshirt ordering. Because of the controversial nature of the tshirts, we have had to remove anything that can tie the tshirts to CAOS. We have 11 ordered so far, and we are still going to get them, but any more orders are on the dl. If you still want one, just email me tyler[at]antifusion[dot]com with the size you want. They're going to come in navy blue.
The dealine for this under the table tshirt deal is tomorrow night (March 15th) at midnight.
So do the shirts just say " Codha is whatha."
The "unofficial" CAOS shirts are in.
I will be bringing them to the lecture/rvb night tomorrow night, so you better be there if you ordered one and want to pick it up.
Remember, the cost is $15.
Also, I will be bringing a few extra, and if you still want one, they will be sold on a first come first serve basis.
