Spotted - The Geekiest License Plates

"Alert! Geek spotted driving a Toyota Camry". "No, I didn't have a geek scanner, he just had a license plate with 'MS-DOS' on his car", that's what James told us, when he sent us the link with a geeky license plate.

So, we decided to do a little 'geeky license plate' spotting of our own and tag our favorites. So, with out any wait, we present our favorite geek license plates starting from the obvious (via Flickr and thanks to all those who spotted them):

(did you read live long and prosper?)

Away from Keyboard? :P

and finally here's something to laugh a bit about

IEFBR14

Submitted by Anonymous Geek (not verified) on 10 October, 2006 - 16:59.

I remember seeing this one 15 years ago. For those of you that have never worked in a IBM Mainframe(MVS) environment IEFBR14 is the name of a utility program that does nothing! The only instruction in the program is a BRanch to the address in register 14 which is the exit point of the program. The purpose of this "do nothing" program was to allow the JES(Job Execution System) to process file dispositions specified in the JCL(Job Control Language) executing the program. Most commonly it would be used to delete temporary files at the end of a job or allocate new files at the end of a job.

In Quebec, we have less freedom in choosing license plates, so it's mostly 3 numbers then 3 letters, or the oppsite.
