"There are two major products that came out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence."

  Do they mean to say BSD?
  • duozerk 10y ago
    No, they meant LSD due to Timothy Leary (even if LSD was initially synthetized in Switzerland); that's the joke.

    No

    BSD is one of the first Unices (probably second only to AT&T UNIX), so both would be correct, although "LSD and BSD" might make for a punchier joke :)

  This was in my .signature for a long time back in the 1990s.
  • Alex3917 10y ago
    On Slashdot or K5? That's probably where I first heard it.

      Before all that. The .signature file in my UNIX home directory, for e-mail. This would have been in 1993 or so.
