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 http://mathworld.wolfram.com/HilbertCurve.html">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."

true ...

but it's still an amusing idea, just reformat it

superCAOSuser ___ 7164 0.2 __ 0.3  142   146 _ p3 _ Z __    0:04 staring @ wall
$ kill 666

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.

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

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.
