There's no place like localhost?

This is a really cute tshirt but someone made a boo-boo..

"There's no place like ~/" would have been much more logical.

Yeah, that makes more sense 4 me...
"There's no place like ~/"
By the way, 1'm a brazilian man (and NO... I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH...PORTUGUESE IS OUR LANGUAGE), so, sorry about some gramatical or sintax error OK?

Phew. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought localhost seemed like an odd choice. I mean, I get what the point is but I'm not sure that everyone automatically thinks 'home' when they see 'localhost'.

Simple: it's a question of not being OS-specific. 127.0.0.1 is the 'home' IP on any computer, rather than /~ which is specific to certain OSs.

heh, there's only one widely used OS I can think of where /~ doesn't mean home, and, I really don't mean to troll, but do you think that the average user of this OS would get 127.0.0.1 either anyway?
