Slashdot posted the news about the crash, lot's of geeky jokes were told.
Behold:Of course it crashed because of a bad driver.
Bet they tried to drive it wirelessly.
The car was destined to crash...it was caught in a loop...
Moral of the story: Linux doesn't have good uptimes when you run it on unstable hardware.
if only they hadn't had all those open windows! Someone should have told the driver to restart the engine and close all those windows!
Are there any photos or videos available of the crash? I'm all for linux, but seeing Tux splashed all over the road should be an interesting sight.
(after the video) looks to me like the SCO car shoved him.
That's impossible; everyone knows Linux can't crash. He must have been dual-booting Windows.
The penguin couldn't see over the dashboard.
Enjoy it while you can Microsofties... cuz this is the only way you'll see Linux crash....
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: it's hard to find drivers for Linux.
Yeah but... Imagine a Beowulf cluster of them...
Drinking, I blame the WINE.
I guess 2007.... is not the year of Linux on the Racetrack.
Well, this is the first port of the kernel to the indycar platform, there are bound to be bugs to work out.
Dear Driver: Next time try: /etc/init.d/brakes restart and paste results here. Thanx
This is Grand Prix racing, not a bunch of hicks with tractors from NASCAR. You know, super expensive cars, handsome drivers with fancy European names like "Dario", silken ascots worn under tight-fitting racing uniforms, sponsorships by barely profitable Internet firms . . .
OMFG! IT'S 1999 AGAIN!
In other news the Windows Vista car was slow off the line, but the car looked good and the driver was heard screaming "accept" as the car lurched forward and stopped every time he used the accelerator.
It's Vista. ALL the pedals are brake pedals.
