Happy birthday Debian
Anecdote (I assume I'll get down-voted since it's HN but I don't give a fuck, please yourself):<p>In my city, in Montreal, people love to honk all over the place when their favourite sport team wins. It's freakin annoying.. I'm not a hockey fan and I couldn't care less that a team just won a tournament or whatever. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see people happy about it.. but it's not an excuse to go honk in the streets at 10 PM and yelling non-stop.<p>Anyway, 2 years ago, a Linux kernel was just released and I decided to have some fun driving the street and honk-ing at 10PM. I did that for a good 15-20 minutes before being arrested by the police. I then explained why I was honking and that since hockey fans could go in the street, <i>I</i> could do it.<p>Believe it or not, I had no tickets and they told me they understood and would make sure nobody would honk in my neighbour.. and even now, after 2 years, I see police cars in front of my house arresting people who honk when hockey or football/soccer teams win.<p>Meh.. so when I see these "Happy birthday Debian", I like to think that, maybe somewhere, a little nerd like me is happy and go out honking in their neighbour.
