That Christmas post is disarmingly charming. Though I'm a little put off by two men sharing a blog and always talking in the group sense. And getting signed together? Are they a pop group as well?

Which is nice, cause I was feeling a little lost since the election.

On any UNIX system, which includes Linux, BSD, and all derivatives thereof such as Apple's OS X, <code>rm</code> is the command for strong is the command for remove. The <code>-rf</code> tells it to remove files recursively and to force it to do so, and not to ask you at any point in the process "Are you really sure you meant to delete <em>this one</em>?" The <code>*</code> tells it to remove everything in the directory you're in. So, in short, this is the command that can completely wreck your computer. There are good reasons to type it sometimes, but if you type it in the wrong directory (say, the bottommost one) you can completely hose your system. So, even though I know what I'm doing, whenever I have occasion to type it, I get the sinking feeling that I'm about to cross the streams. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7RfihcLJLeo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7RfihcLJLeo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Bridget Callahan »
