Some of these I came up with for the Linux Users Group at Georgia Tech page, but many apply to coding in general:

• I prefer sleeping...
• During the Night
• During the Day
• When I'm Tired
• Sleep is Unintentional Downtime
• Favorite Unix Holy War (by Buddy Smith)
• Pine vs. Elm
• Emacs vs. Vim
• Gnome vs. KDE
• GUI vs. Console
• Lihnucks vs. Lynucks
• Worst command to run as root
• rm -rf /
• killall -9 init
• dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda
• make install
• Number of different OS's I've run Perl on
• One
• Two
• 3-5
• 5+
• My brain has a built-in 5.6.0 compiler.
• Best way to get a bug fixed.
• File a bug report.
• Whine, whine, whine.
• Kill the coder (they're replaceable, right?).
• Ha><0R the bO><oR
• Make random noises.
• Redefine the Unix epoch.
• Troll Slashdot.
• Reinstall Windows^TM.
• What's the best way to untar tar.gz files? (by Lincoln Durey)
• tar xzvf
• tar -xzvf
• alias unpack="tar xzvf"
• zcat | tar xvf -
• rpm --install

It would be an interesting (if very highly unscientific) to see what differences there are in the poll responses on PerlMonks vs. on a LUG homepage...

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
