One recurring complaint is that nobody talks about bash quotes on /prog/. So everyone post some bash quotes. A small explanation wouldn't go amiss either.
I'll start us off with a /prog/ related one from the top 100:
<kow`> "There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't."
<SpaceRain> That's only 2 types of people, kow.
The joke here is that 10 in binary is actually 2 in base 10. So when kow` mentioned that there were 10 types of people in the world, the "10" was in binary since those who understand that would be able to understand the joke.
