1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Frankenstein is a surname. The mad scientist's name was Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Since the monster wasn't endowed with a first name, the only name it would have is Frankenstein: the same last name as its father.

    You should at least read the source before you spout off. The monster's first name is Adam. And as an aside he speaks and reads three languages. You probably think he was slow and clumsy too.

    His name isn't Adam. He just makes a comparison between himself and Adam from the Bible. The quote is:

    Remember that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed.

    Good point. It seems I wrecked myself before I checked myself.

    The assumption being that he is a child of some sorts for doctor Frankenstein. I haven't read the book.
