Amazing.
I've been using Linux for years, but I realized I know almost anything: I don't know how to configure the network, I don't know awk or sed, I don't know to use chown/chmod correctly, etc.

#14at the # prompt type: # yes die > /dev/mem :-) When I was younger my friends and I would find cool and interesting ways to crash unix boxes. A more modern version: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/mem
Ah the shenanigans that can be had with piping into system interfaces represented by files!
* cat 'ing /dev/urandom into /dev/dsp (white noise), or /dev/fb0 (noise on the display)
* cat 'ing your /dev/mic into someone else's /dev/dsp via a SSH connection
* Playing around with /dev/mem or /dev/kmem (the right sequence of commands.. something involving `strings` and `dd` lets you actually see your bios stuff)
