- JonnyTrombone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+42I saw "151 Mew" the other day. Talk about nerdy.
- backoff34, on 10/10/2007, -1/+40Wouldn't that be "TIHSHO" for 'us' slow ones?

HO ***** - Grimace421, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26The "R" in this first one didn't even flip in the mirror...
- TenMinuteParty, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22It's what makes time travel possible...

(This is my lisence plate btw) - surfing, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22On Linux, if run by an administrator, would cause the contents of every writable mounted filesystem on the computer to be deleted.

- drakenlot, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Not shopped buddy.
You fail at the internet. Game Over, Please insert another quarter to try again - jsreid, on 10/10/2007, -5/+24I don't get it... what's it mean?
- NavS, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19RM -RF.... wow
- Otto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Could have been worse. It could have read ***** HO.
- spyrochaete, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15"backwords" - clever typo!
- jkgm, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17Here's a great one I took a photo of in the parking lot at work recently: http://flickr.com/photos/macphile/530317378/
- Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16It means that Digg has failed, and that the early adopters will be returning to Slashdot shortly.
- drakenlot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14I recently got a custom license plate
3M 3718, best $50 bucks spent - Dhalgren, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13RM -RF * is a linux command line operation to remove all files without prompting "do you really want to remove this file"
M4D 1337 is "Leet Speak." It essentially means "Mad Elite" - Otto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Lots of plates here, including all of the ones in this article: http://www.coolpl8z.com/

http://www.coolpl8z.com/view-plate.php?id=707 - spyrochaete, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Yeah, from my bedroom.
- Dhalgren, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Except format C: will prompt you 2 times asking if you are really sure you want to format...
- drachemorder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Clearly the people who check for profanity in licence plates aren't familiar with Internet abbreviations. That's a bit surprising since people often get caught trying to express profanity in much more creative and subtle ways.
- ahcomeon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11dugg for the author giving credit to the sites he got the images from
- dedeSwiss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I simply love the "got rice" on the rice rocket...
- KissMyWookie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11A few months ago I saw a Toyota Matrix with the plate "No Spoon" driving around in Toronto
- burnstyle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10RM - RF is a unix command
if it were ran as administrator it would cause every mounted filesystem to be erased
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rm_(Unix) - NinjaBoy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10bite me if you look at it through a review mirror.
- MrSketch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10There's a guy who works in the office next door that has the license plate 'FSCK'.
- Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Your mom was in your bedroom? I hope you hid your porn stash well enough.
- drachemorder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10My personal favorite, along these lines, is "TI 3VOM", when placed on the front of one's car.
- Mikejoneswho5, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Ive seen 1337 on a police car...
- unfinite, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9my friend took a picture of one http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s6/unfinite/?action=view¤t=n48917869_33997738_2797.jpg
- otatop, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9MY girlfriend and I wanted to get "O RLY" and "YA RLY" plates, but either someone in California already got "O RLY" or the DMV thinks it's naughty. We were bummed when we found out.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rm_(Unix)
- aB0z, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Didn't your mom email these to me back in 2001?
- Dhalgren, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I noticed that too.. Maybe the mirror pic was shopped?
- unfinite, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7From Toronto:
http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s6/unfinite/?action=view¤t=n48917869_33997738_2797.jpg - jhaks, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7"rm" is remove. -f means suppress prompts. -r means recursive. rm can't delete folders unless they are empty so the -r recursively deletes the contents first. * is a wild card that means any number of any characters.
- MadFlava, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8http://www.trianglecycling.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=319&c=3
There's a follow up to your OMGWTF plate :)
Im surprised DMV let that one though. - Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Impossible. He waited for the owner of the car to leave so he could snap a shot while driving. The R being flipped was a result of glare from the flash.
- linkerjpatrick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7What about Kramer's ASS MAN tag?!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Kramer%27s_ASSMAN_plates.jpg - blahtastic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Pokemon... #151 is Mew. Ah, the good old days of red/blue and only 151 of those little *****.
- p0tent1al, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Firehed
he was the only one who took the time to answer the question, unlike every single other smartass who didn't, like you. - TheShrike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6http://flickr.com/photos/heinousjay/517339489/
http://flickr.com/search/?q=pwned%20chevy - zephc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I recently bought EPICWIN. I just need a new car so it doesn't look ironic on my P.O.S. current car.
- themordecai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5i accelerate.
- SteveMax, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5The fact that this needs to be spelt out is closely related to another home page story. Digg is not what it used to be anymore.
By the way, it has to be lowercase (filenames and options are case sensitive), and it's not a Linux command (it exists on any Unix). - Arramol, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7RM -RF / is the Linux equivalent to "format C:" in Windows.
