  • DarkDragon, on 10/10/2007, -5/+302Not just ASCII, but Linux source code! =]
  • Philluminati, on 10/10/2007, -17/+212that's not ascii art. That's a wall of text that's been painted over with colours.
  • lystig, on 10/10/2007, -2/+120Are you sure you didn't mean "Tux as you've seen him many times"?
  • bightchee, on 10/10/2007, -1/+79From above ITS right foot:

    *Telltheworldthatwe'regoingtobethegrim*reaperofinnocentorphanedchildren.*
  • lordcat, on 10/10/2007, -9/+69Sorry... ASCII doesn't support colors... Do a 'select all' to eliminate the colors, and you'll see Tux disappear... It's not even ANSI... it's HTML...

    Giant HTML TEXT art image of Tux.... >NOT< ASCII...
  • alphahack, on 10/10/2007, -9/+63Wow, you're right!
    I've never seen tux as a 404 error message!
  • schestowitz, on 10/10/2007, -7/+57That's a classic (a bit old though).
  • timusca, on 10/10/2007, -4/+32Doesn't being classic imply old?
  • r00tus3r, on 10/10/2007, -3/+30I find you rather presumptuous. I actually saw this ages ago.
  • techlinks, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27"I don't even see the code anymore. All I see is penguins here, penguins there."
  • bluetrevian, on 10/10/2007, -3/+29That is freaking badass.
  • Elias1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26Ctrl + Roll mouse wheel
  • darkspire, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Being that this was done back in like 1999, has already been on digg twice, and used to be sold by thinkgeek.com as a poster, yes it is an older version of the linux kernel.
  • sexybobo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Google and coral both have it

  • KWhat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13This looks like a very early version of the Linux kernel probably right around the time Linus teamed up with GNU.

    For more information check out:

  • linuxgeek71, on 10/10/2007, -5/+17Look at the page source, it only changes the font color. It never just paints over things.
  • castorjay, on 10/10/2007, -8/+19I, for one, welcome our new ASCII penguin overlords.
  • KniteWulf, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15apt-get tux?
  • Cougaboy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Seems odd that you would choose MSpaint for text editing.....even if it's just color.
  • Miche1987, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9On the contrary, yes.
  • ryanlerch, on 10/10/2007, -6/+13thats crazy! nice find
  • PARAPA, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6200+ people
    Go and do your trolling elsewhere
  • cliffyboro, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10Mirror:

  • Waltezmo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Damn, I would have enjoyed scrolling past it all!
  • uberlord, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Tux, "Like You've NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE"

    False advertising = =(
  • roXet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6as I've never seen him before? That's funny because I've seen this many times. Thinkgeek has had a poster of this for years.
  • dbug, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10An old and tired meme for an old and tired ascii picture. Well done.
  • benplaut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That's because the windows source code isn't available to do it!
  • uberlord, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6It's a solid black background, with the text changing color. It's not what I'd call ASCII art, but it's definitely art of some sort... not just photoshop, which is an art in itself.
  • jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Not. You can create an instant classic
  • gharding, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9The trouble? You mean like writing a 10-line perl script?
  • lystig, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5What about Hexley?
  • vpeter, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Buried as inaccurate. I've seen him like that before...
  • Nihilanth41, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Old as it is, it's still pretty ***** cool. Dugg.
  • rlee0001, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3No...like writing the equivalent 10,000 line vb script.
  • burnstyle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3*/child_reaper=current
  • johnnyklaj, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5No, it doesn't.

  • brianrlawson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2old tux is old, but worth digging

  • BalooUrsidae, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Was anybody else expecting a yiffy Tux instead of an ASCII tux?
  • McGrude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I have a poster of that. My daughter loves penguins so it's in her room.
  • DarkDakota, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2the devil is in the details
  • Otto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Easier:
    1. http://www.google.com/search?q=html+image+convert
    2. Download program
    3. Use it.
  • aeonex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2What is with you people and text-image.com ? It looks like text-image.com makes an IMAGE with a layer of binary writing over it....not a text based drawing....
  • pixelfox, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Telltheworldthatwe'regoingtobethegrim*reap - erofinnocentorphanedchildren.**Wedon'twantpeopletohavetomakeincorrect*a - ssumptionsaboutwhereinthetaskarraythis*canbefound.*/

    ok that is strange.
  • mesmeriffic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3That was mediocre and uninteresting.
  • loconet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Except of course Photoshop there is no such as thing as Save As .txt (or .html in this case) in Photoshop. This is not an image.
