Linux kernel mod that forces very system call to open an .mp3 file to open the .mp3 file of your choice (presumably, something by Rick Astley). I've had this in my tabs for N months, and *still* find it funny -- I'm surprised I hadn't saved it before now.

april 2010 by arthegall
"This is a fundamental tension in Caplanian thought, namely the desire to promote intuitions of both meritocracy/desert and facts about heritability. Bryan can't have it both ways." -- Humorous.
