*THE* classic Unix horror story

Try this in windows!


Unix Recovery Legend

This classic article from Mario Wolczko first appeared on Usenet in 1986.

Have you ever left your terminal logged in, only to find when you came back to it that a (supposed) friend had typed "rm -rf ~/*" and was hovering over the keyboard with threats along the lines of "lend me a fiver 'til Thursday, or I hit return"?

Hard up for a date?


Hello. everybody! I'm the first time in the Internet cafe. My first name is Ol'ga and I'm 28 years old. I live in Russia and all that years I tried to find my pen-pal, somebody who will understand me and on whom I can rely on! Despite all of that I didn't find the real man with brave heart and strong feelings!

Above all of this I can say that I'm looking for a nice person and appearance doesn't play role for me, I just want to find person with good inner world! I will do anything in this world to get my soul and then we will be one united front. Of course, You may be miles apart from me, it doesn't matter, just lets try. If you are interested and want to know more about me, you can send your letters on my e-mail TVOYA_RADOST29@mail.ru !

Here's the drawing I made. Trevor hasn't emailed me the photo of the board, so I'm not 100% positive that this is correct, but I'm pretty sure. If Trevor emails the photo and there's a problem, I'll update this and let you guys know.

Choose whichever format works for you, they should all be the same.

Windiz?

So this is interesting. Some company decided that MS Windows Update wasn't safe and they didn't want to use IE anymore. Oddly enough, they decided to just reimplement it as a Firefox plugin. WTF? Windiz website.
