Screenshots please!

wget https://raw.github.com/jtwaleson/decrypt/master/decrypt.py ; chmod +x decrypt.py; ls -la | ./decrypt.py It doesn't bite.

It's also super short, so you can easily glance over the source code to make sure it's not doing anything shady (it's not).

Maybe I don't watch enough television but I don't think I've ever seen this effect in any TV show or movie. Anyone know of a show that did this?

Link for lazy Mac OS X users: curl -O https://raw.github.com/jtwaleson/decrypt/master/decrypt.py ; chmod +x decrypt.py; ls -la | ./decrypt.py It's useless, but pretty nifty at 80x24.

So... uhh...

this one-liner will download and execute a python script.

would really suggest that you read the script before executing it.

Looks clean to me. Check out for yourself of course. Does bring up an interesting dilemma. We all download code, libraries etc. all the time without going through it with a fine comb...
