#!/usr/bin/ruby

vapid_pronouncement = "#{dictionary.get_noun} is dead."

Why the downvotes? It's totally true. If the title includes "is dead" or "killed so-and-so" then it's going to be bullshit.

Because who puts ruby in /usr/bin?

It's /usr/bin/ruby for the default preinstalled 1.8.7 on OS X.

Same for Ubuntu 8.04

  jam@jam-desktop:~$ which ruby
  /usr/bin/ruby

    #!/usr/bin/env ruby

    # you insensitive clod!

You should.

Who doesn't use package management? Nobody I want to have bits on systems I have anything to do with, that's who doesn't.

(It was a joke, I know it usually goes in /usr/bin/. That's where mine is)

Arch Linux does.

That's not really fair because everything goes into /usr/bin in arch, they don't even have /usr/local/bin in the path ( though I'm pretty sure they do still have /bin)

I'll tell you who: People who aren't sexually attracted to donkeys.

I'd like to make a graph of the percentage of people that actually see a comment at negative reputation when there is a "why the downvotes" comment immediately following it.
