  • Dokument, on 04/04/2008, -1/+38ok so a baby seal walks into a club..

    :(
  • latova, on 04/04/2008, -1/+30OK so I'm trying to run /usr/bin/fly but it tells me the command doesn't exist. I'm trying to do "apt-get install fly" but it tells me that my machine doesn't meet dependency flying-ability-0.4.5 and it says conflicting package physics-1.0 is installed. Help???
  • JoeSK, on 04/04/2008, -0/+26That piano music really added a touch of class. Well done. Bravo to the re-mixer for doing this.

    Us Linux fans can never get enough of Tux!
  • Guams, on 04/04/2008, -1/+16"Imagine a place... where everything is possible..." At this point, I thought "except flight." Sure enough, next scene is airborne penguins. Little bastards pulled a fast one on me...
  • depro9, on 04/04/2008, -3/+17Linux, fly high!
  • poiuytrewq44, on 04/04/2008, -0/+10Buried as inaccurate. You need python AND linux to make penguins fly.
  • Vindexus, on 04/04/2008, -1/+10What the *****?
  • Aeuta, on 04/04/2008, -2/+11Great thing to do with the BBC April fools joke! Awesome!
  • Knucklecallus, on 04/04/2008, -3/+11I thought they were swimming! Thanks for pointing that out, I am so much smarter now! Wow, I can't believe I missed something so obvious.
  • Memesink, on 04/04/2008, -0/+7First, find out who their Red Bull supplier is.
    Second, alert Opus!
  • daftman, on 04/04/2008, -5/+12Well come to earth. People here improve, reuse, innovate on each other ideas. That's how the world has been working for thousands of years.
  • Modestexcuse, on 04/04/2008, -1/+8Very creative. If only Linux needed to advertise...
  • cawpin, on 04/04/2008, -0/+6Thanks for the morning laugh.
  • JD52, on 04/04/2008, -2/+8I'm so happy for those little *****!
  • Slugball, on 04/04/2008, -1/+6Actually the penguins are CGI. Here's a behind the scenes video of the april fools video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzhDsojoqk8
  • JEWestbrookJR, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5I'm going to start having footnotes to state the context of my witty, sarcastic comments.

    (note that I don't really intend on leaving footnotes to my comments, and I in know way actually think that I am witty. Although, I was being sarcastic in my statement as I was mocking davidrools for feeling like he has to explain himself in his comment. Some restrictions apply, see store for details. Not available in KS, OK, MN, TX, OH, or CA.)
  • fartbuttes, on 04/04/2008, -1/+5I was trying to watch this in Ubuntu but I couldn't cause something is messed up with the flash plugin and the video stutters constantly :/
  • akkibaba, on 04/04/2008, -5/+9You bastard, stop using words from the English language that people made up much before you. You're stealing British people's words.
  • xanadont, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4Thanks for the disclaimer.
  • trogdoor, on 04/04/2008, -2/+6http://www.agoravox.fr/IMG/do_not_feed_trolls.jpg
  • digitalpencil, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3You're sat, commenting on a Linux thread on what is largely considered a tech news site, arguing that the operating system is 'one of the most unimportant things on [the] planet'.. How exactly did you think this would go?
  • mtthwmiddleton, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3After I uninstalled physics-1.0 my computer did stuff it never could before.
  • amoore260, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3sudo apt-get install be

    problem solved!


  • Asianwaste, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3Be funny if the flying penguins are stopped short by a well cleaned window pane.
  • Sharky35, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3FAKE:
    1. There is no more ice on the planet due to global warming.
    2. Penguins are all dead! The Alaskans clubbed them all to death right before the Global Warming thing.
  • mrASSMAN, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3are you serious..

    facepalm.
  • glinsvad, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3Nope, those are the bad April Fools... a good one has you wondering for weeks
  • ArthurArchnix, on 04/04/2008, -1/+4He did credit the BBC and the Music. You probably missed it because you've got your head up your ass.
  • jserio, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3Could have done a little better with the text overlay. Nothing like black text with a black penguin covering it up.
  • xivulon, on 04/04/2008, -1/+4RTFA

    "About This Video
    Added: April 02, 2008
    A little Ad i made editing a well known video from the B B C.
    Song: Joe Bongiorno - Chasing the Wind from Destined Be Linux. (less) "

    If you want to forbid short video editing, you might just as well shut down YouTube...
  • Wandel, on 04/04/2008, -2/+5"Imagine a place... where everything is possible - It just takes a little more work."
  • RetlawST, on 04/04/2008, -1/+4***** you and your fear of whitespace.
  • inactive, on 04/04/2008, -1/+3should have read the comments first.. heh.. first thing i did right after watching the video was google " can penguins fly ? " . ma bad..
  • Rauby, on 04/04/2008, -1/+3No I think it's more like: "Fly, get high."
    But I think that king of advertisement would be only allowed in Nederland.
  • myFriendDerrik, on 04/04/2008, -1/+3http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JsZbSzMi08
  • jaewon223, on 04/05/2008, -0/+2haha great job on completely changing the perspective of a video clip with just some music and text
  • amoore260, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2Linus Torvalds can hack anything! Even penguins!
  • elijahalcantara, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2There is an optional package 'magic-0.5.6' in the repository, unfortunately it may also conflict with your physics-1.0.
  • Sharky35, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2are you missing a N or a G?
  • RandyFithian, on 04/04/2008, -1/+3I think Linux is a pretty cool guy, eh makes flying penguins and doesn't afraid of anything.
  • aLFaDaRK, on 04/04/2008, -0/+1What the hell does "Be Linux." even mean? I can't very well turn myself into an operating system...
  • isntreal, on 04/04/2008, -0/+1greatest name ever
  • baylat, on 04/04/2008, -0/+1you got alot of thumbs.
  • ZeroFive1, on 04/04/2008, -0/+1Are you using 64 bits?
  • stephenams, on 04/04/2008, -0/+1wow! i never thought i'd see a penguin fly. hahaha.. nice one.
  • Sharky35, on 04/04/2008, -0/+1I agree, show us the examples of all the successful commercials you have produced. I am sure they are on the interwebs, just post the links below.
  • DemonWasp, on 04/04/2008, -0/+1No, but you can be schizophrenic enough to confuse the average computer user.

    / it's a joke about the plethora of distributions.
