I find a big problem with linux/unix users is their uncommunicative macho insecurity. Part of software use and advocacy is communicating and helping other less experienced users and writing documentation. This "rugged" mentality is just stupid. Now I am the first to recognise that there are lazy entitled parasitic users out there who will not RTFM but carrying on like an immature 6 year old ain't the way to go. Using the terminal should be a productive hassle free experience not a joyride from hell. /rant |

Choosing to drive without wearing a seatbelt might be considered "macho." This is more like driving without a seatbelt and mounting a huge, pointed spike in the middle of the steering wheel. For future recipients of the Linux Darwin Awards. |

No, retarded is getting bent out of shape over something that's obviously intended as humour. The creator is not actually expecting anyone to use it. It was made purely so that the rest of us can say "here's a crazy thing that now exists". It's humour. |

Likely humour I agree however my point stands. And I am not bent out of shape by it just irritated |

You could also try playing some russian roulette: # if [ $(( $RANDOM % 6 )) -eq "0" ]: then rm -rf / ;fi |

Take it to the next level by adding some external digital I/O support and a block of thermite. |

jacog -- Humor? Maybe. Stupid? Absolutely. You would think that the author would have better things to do with his time. |

Stupid is a perfectly valid form of humour. |

Can't we make a Windows version and sell it to OEMs? |

> Can't we make a Windows version and sell it to OEMs? Only for versions which include the Power Shell. But yes, I'm sure they would go for that. Extra revenue, you know. |
