Ok, a while back on here someone posted some pics of some Pro Apple t-shirts.



One of them said something like, "bow down before me for I am root".



Can't find the shirts or the thread which discussed them.



Any help?

    I don't remember them having much to do with Apple...



    <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com"; target="_blank">www.thinkgeek.com</a> has an assortment of t-shirts for lifetime bachelors though, including that shirt

    That's the shirt. You're right. Not really Apple related. No matter though.



    It's a gift for a linux loving friend.



    For though I may be root, i know not what I can do (yet).



    Thanks man.

    What does RTFM mean? (Please don't beat me for asking)

    It's a Unix geek accronym for Read The F*cking Manual.

    What does RTF mean when referring to Steve Jobs' spinning of the amazingness of Apples new products? I've never been able to figure that out. :confused: <img src="graemlins/embarrassed.gif" border="0" alt="[Embarrassed]" />

    Cosmo,



    It's not RTF, it's RDF. RDF=Reality Distortion Field.



    The RDF is Steve's special ability to make anyone within in think they need/want whatever it is he's showing them. To use in a sentence:



    Steve's RDF failed when I saw the blue dalmation iMacs.

    Btw, that someone was I.

    And, yes, it was Think Geek... because Geek is chic!

    Ah. So, if someone=I and I=Starfleet X, then the t-shirt should read "bow before me, for Starfleet X is root" right?



    Thanks Starfleet.

    Thanks a bunch! I've always wondered, like I said. Now I know...



    And knowing is half the battle.

    The shirt part isn't the best part of the place, look at all the caffeinated junk they sell!

    Actually, I wish their caffeinated soap wasn't so expensive because I'd like to give it a try. On the other hand, anything that helps wake me up in the morning might be worth the price.
