If the Beatles were hackers . . .

 [colorful rounded image of the Head of a GNU] [ English | Korean ]

Eleanor Rigby (with apologies to the Beatles)

Eleanor Rigby Sits at the keyboard and waits for a line on the screen Lives in a dream Waits for a signal Writing some code that will make the machine do some more Who is it for? All these lonely users, where do they all come from All these lonely users, where do they all belong Hacker Mackenzy Writing the code for a program that no one will run Its nearly done. Look at him working. Fixing the bugs late at night when there's nobody there nobody cares. All these lonely users, where do they all come from All these lonely users, where do they all belong Ahhhh.... look at all those lonely users... Ahhhh.... look at all those lonely users...

Always a hacker (with apologies to Billy Joel)

She can kill all your files She can freeze with a frown And a wave of her hand bring your whole system down And she works on her code until twelve after three She lives like a bat but she's always a hacker to me.

He died at the console of hunger and thirst Next day he was buried Face down, nine edge first.
