Considering I am not tat much of a geek, and, well, I know nothing about coding or programming or anything and had no idea what the hell he was banging on about, it was still somewhat awful... I wasn't sure whether to laugh, or wince in pain as the stressed vocals assaulted my ear drums... Confused

And the camera work was shoddy too...

Haha, terrible! Geeks trying to be cool -- Never works. Razz

Geeks trying to be cool is a contradiction in terms.

That song reminds me a lot of Weird Al's Its All About The Pentiums.

Hahaahaa.
They're not doing it to be cool, just to have fun/make people laugh. They've got to be <.<

What on earth if #kill-9 mean, anyway? The sooner that is explained, the sooner I shall understand just how random this is.

Kill is a POSIX terminal command for killing a process (program). Normally you'd use kill -15, which is like closing a program in windows by pressing the X button. However, Kill -9 closes the program immediatly, kinda like using Ctrl-Alt-Delete to close down a program. This means it doesn't get a chance to stop what it was doing and clean up after itself so to speak, which is bad because it can cause problems in the future if it was doing important stuff (like defragmentation and other geeky things that you probably don't care about).

Of course, DP or Cloud'd probably do a better job at answering your question, they're the ones doing CS degrees.

In other words, Cloud is like Mr. Sparkle: Insert appropriate analogy here.

Let the real computer person handle this.

As Net said, Kill is a posix command (ie one used in linux or unix) to stop a program.

what the -9 argument does is generates an interrupt to the processor to kill said program. This is useful if your program is locked (think infinite loop), because true to it's name, an interrupt interrupts the processor activity until whatever subroutine made to handle it completes it's task.

in the -9 case, this interrupt pauses the infinite loop, allowing the processor a chance to process the kill command to stop said program.

And guess what, Cloud can't even touch my 1337'ness. Cool

Edit: By the way Net, I'm a Computer Engineering student (CPE). CS people can only code. I can build the computer then code it to do my bidding.

In other words its a song about an even more geeky version of ctrl+alt+del.

I'd make a witty and appropriate comment, but you'd both kill me, gut me, string me up by my spleen and run me over with a buick.
