I have been very close to submit this:
Title: Command Line
Then I had a funny idea that I will try to "stage" somehow during the weekend.
Also, I am not sure how many would have perceived the irony in "Command Line" (which costed me quite a bit of work, to shoot).
The risk of becoming another "Blackbear At Midnight" was high and I am afraid that, because a few would have found it real funny, I would have not collected not even the very satisfactory last place...

Now, you did make certain you pressed the 'enter' key on that command line, right? You sure don't want any terrorists sitting on your system! :-)
Just a thought here... you could perhaps enhance the irony spin if the computer were somehow identified as one belonging to the US government. |

As an unix guy, I would have loved your shot. :P
... and since you brought up computer screens and command lines, I thought I'd share a takeout of mine from the Repetition challenge.
ciao, C

As a unix geek, I think it is humorous, but don't find anything "ironic" about it.
Maybe if you had included the hostname (something like 'alqaedahq') in the shell prompt it might have had a little irony. But to me, that image would be better off in a "Humor" challenge. But that's just me. |

| So, do you always run your terminal with a 100-pt font? |

Good question.
The technique I used was DPC legal of course even if I used Photoshop illegal features and that.. is really ironic. But I knew that it was impossible to be noticed and being appreciated because it worked too well..
It looks like a terminal but it is a black screen which I created in Photoshop enhancing the text in order to appear, once photographed, as a terminal.
As you will notice, the photoshop subject is pretty different and it is done considering what transformation would have undergone once photographed.
Lots of ironic work for nothing. Ironic.

Funny enough, one of the reason why I removed this, it is because I did find it more ironic than humorous.
Yes, the challenge is about Irony but I bet that most of the people will confuse it with Humor..
Even whoever picked the challenge "Irony" contributed to confusing them giving to the challenge the following description:
"Get your sense of humor in order and show us a bit of irony"
Setting the expectation more on humor than on irony.
I am trying to understand why I got so low ratings in the past challenges and, this time, I am including even the misinterpretation factor.

The real irony would be the response computer gives when you hit enter ;)
I know it - most won't |
