- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -1/+31next thing you know we'll have a gang of these geeks running around, they'll call themselves the 'geek squad' or something to that effect.
- cathpah, on 02/18/2008, -2/+17there are many styles of graffiti. some people just throw their name up on someone elses piece (bombing) to try and show their everpresence and lack of respect for the original artist....these people are idiots.
real graffiti artists are amazing. they make the mundane and ugly into beauty. lets not group them all together. - harpdog, on 02/18/2008, -6/+19Tagging is done by vandals and destroys most cities. Most Taggers in London are not artists by anymeans they just spray things like 'cosa' tox2008' with no pictures or colour. Tox2008 is the biggest prick in the world and obviously a backward native from zulu land.
- moletimer, on 02/18/2008, -4/+11dugg for the < / bush > one. Awesome.
- hoodmonkey, on 02/18/2008, -4/+11ascii graffiti ... classic! but that bottom virtual reality vid is just badass
- qbix, on 02/18/2008, -1/+5Not exactly geeky (though 3D is the style), but here's my all-time favorite:

Graffiti comes from the Greek word "graffito" meaning "written." Graffiti dates back to Ancient Greece more than 2,500 years ago and can also be found in Ancient Roman ruins including the more famous ones of Pompeii. - D3koy, on 02/18/2008, -0/+3If I'm not mistaken, one of the first graffiti artists did it as a message to the Romans....something to the effect of "Romans go home"
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -0/+2That must mean the Zune runs on Ubuntu too since you know....it's brown.
Looked like a Mac setup to me. - talonstriker, on 02/18/2008, -1/+3I can't imagine the look on a thug's face when he looks at the anti-MS graffiti
- EggNogIceCream, on 02/18/2008, -1/+3Yeah most graff artist dont tag places like cars houses churches most murals and this is common sense.
- fancyj, on 02/18/2008, -2/+4Not necessarily true. There are legal walls around.
- tango1110, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2Dugg down due to lack of Nintendo characters.
- inactive, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1Not everything that is "cutting edge" runs on Ubuntu.
- webphreak, on 02/18/2008, -1/+2Did anyone else think of the 3d art in the latest William Gibson book? very similar to the last piece there.
- deviouskoopa, on 02/18/2008, -1/+2Another good similar collection:

(check out Hektor and the printball one) - Zipko, on 02/18/2008, -1/+2It's a motion sensor and speaker. It says your name when someone walks up to you.
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -5/+5"they make the mundane and ugly into beauty. lets not group them all together"
You forget to add "on other people's property". Therefore, by your own reasoning (see your explanation of bombing) they lack respect.
See, they don't own most of the buildings and rail cars and bus stops and signs they are supposedly making "beautiful". - fancyj, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1Bomb the Suburbs is a pretty good book about graffiti, hip-hop, and other "urban" philosophies.
- thecrazyd, on 02/18/2008, -2/+2Here is a Katamari Damacy graffiti set that I, ahem, found.

Could we avoid rascist comments please - asa400, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1What's this, then? "Romanes eunt domus"? People called Romans, they go, the house? Conjugate the verb! Write it out a hundred times, and if it's not done by sunrise I'll cut your balls off...
/python - rudlavibizon, on 02/18/2008, -0/+0Nope, it looks like it is Ubuntu, of course it could be some other Linux or BSD distro running gnome with the Ubuntu theme: http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/4561/screenshot ...
Remember, not everything that shines is a Mac :P - Thugacation, on 02/18/2008, -1/+1Those are almost as geeky as me changing the text on my university hall's lab printer.

- snotrokit, on 02/18/2008, -5/+2" < /bush >" white font on black = new wallpaper
- rudlavibizon, on 02/18/2008, -4/+0Have you noticed it runs on Ubuntu. :) Well it doesn't really say on the screen of the laptop, but the brown window theme is a givaway.
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -6/+1Dugg, a few of my fav things in the world. Geekdom and Graf
