It's all about jokes, funny pics...

Do I get that right? That thing switches itself by means of a transformer, coil and iron rod?
Nope. This is a digital signage application, who gets stuck from time to time, because of poor software quality. Due to security reasons, the operators are not allowed to restart the application in a regular way, and the computing device is located in a secure closed room. So this is the way to remotely press the power button to do a hard reset. A misused auxiliary contactor moves a screw, who is held and guided by bold copper wires, against the power button of that computer. Strange, but reliable and effective.
 
Funny way to replace a human finger... oh, waitaminute, I just gave myself a brilliant idea: Ordoban should adapt this to use in artificial limb research to help amputees. John Hopkins University is eagerly awaiting results! :P

As funny as these memes can be, the difference between FreeBSD and ArchLinux or any other distribution is negligible. It seems like the licensing issues that cropped up may have prevented 4.4BSD and its predecessors from overwhelming things on their own. My point is that I only let myself laugh so much at these kinds of suggestions. Eventually, we all have to decide to be real men and do it all ourselves anyway, so who gives a fuck which binaries come installed on your filesystem!
 
Future arceologists will speculate in what kind of cataclysmic event we were living. Or will put all art into the "cultish object" bin.
