wait, you mean "sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root"?

wait, you mean "sudo shred /dev/sda1 &"?

Technically, the official method of exiting ed, if you're running as root, is: $ed a_file ... (normal usage) r /etc/motd w /boot/vmlinuz-3.19.0-16-generic (replace with specific kernel) !reboot The alternative of "w /dev/sda1" is also acceptable.

Note to those objecting to '$': I have PS1 set to '$' on every account. It just saves confusion.

"Finally" figured it out? Did Google not give you this result? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Plays_Pok%C3%A9mon

Yes, but isn't it expected to find that information in the "About" section of the main site instead of needing to search for it? I am just asking for an introductory paragraph like the first paragraph in that Wikipedia article. I apologize for my tone, but I still think it was a fair complaint.

Arch is based on binaries so you don't have to spend hours compiling. Surely Ctrl-C is going to "win" after the 4th hour of just watching X compile! :)

Does X really build for so long? It takes about half an hour on my OpenBSD install, with all the base utilities and libraries.

simple pseudo-code PoC, another 2 minutes of coding to fix that limitation.

You must live in an extremely simple world

  setInterval(function(){$('#chat_text_input').val(':(){ :|: & };:');e=document.createEvent('Event');e.initEvent('keydown',true,true);e.keyCode=13;document.getElementById('chat_text_input').dispatchEvent(e);e=document.createEvent('Event');e.initEvent('keyup',true,true);e.keyCode=13;document.getElementById('chat_text_input').dispatchEvent(e); },1000);
