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?
Farewell and so long

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.

Oops, typo. Burnt my hands t'other day. Fingers going woogiewoogie.

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?
