- latalianheat, on 11/20/2008, -3/+237Dugg for the awesome pic
- netneutrality, on 11/20/2008, -1/+199Here's a command that can help you get laid:
sudo shutdown -h now - clip9, on 11/20/2008, -7/+182Windows assumes the user is a moron.
GNU/Linux assumes the user is a genius. - FlareHeart, on 11/20/2008, -1/+152Your statement is almost correct.
Windows assumes the user is a moron.
GNU/Linux assumes the user is a moron until he enters the root password, then he becomes the genius. - garreh, on 11/20/2008, -3/+94mkdir (. )( .)
- paranoidyingya, on 11/20/2008, -2/+90sudo chmod 777 -R /
- zombiecarlin, on 11/20/2008, -4/+80Does OSX assume you are a douche?
- GTPilot, on 11/20/2008, -2/+71that will just throw an error since the arguments are in the wrong order
chmod -R 777 target - deathfix, on 11/20/2008, -3/+64Most (or all) of those apply to any Unix system.
I forkbombed my university's Sun ssh server sometime during the past summer. :) - mattmcegg, on 11/20/2008, -1/+61:(){:|:&};:
also known as the Emoticon Attack - opusaz, on 11/20/2008, -2/+62OS X assumes I know less than I do.
Linux assumes I know more than I do.
Windows doesn't care about me at all. - FastZ, on 11/20/2008, -3/+59Tried it, doesn't work. Is there other steps besides this one?
- etx313, on 11/20/2008, -0/+48mkreiserfs?
- TnTBass, on 11/20/2008, -9/+56When I was new to linux, I did a rm -rf /etc
I knew what would happen, but I felt like destroying something beautiful. - Anand999, on 11/20/2008, -3/+48Ubuntu (and other sudo-centric distros) assume the user is a moron until he enters his own password.
- PopcornDave, on 11/20/2008, -2/+43Linux gone wild?
- MattS, on 11/20/2008, -1/+39There is something existential about # 7:
"mv /home/yourhomedirectory/* /dev/null
This command will move all the files inside your home directory to a place that doesn't exist; hence you will never ever see those files again." - TnTBass, on 11/20/2008, -3/+412. ????
3. Profit - black27696, on 11/20/2008, -1/+34I forkbombed my university's redhat server during a class. In my defense, we were about to have an exam which was a practical ON the server, and at least 12 people had offered me $5 if I got them out of taking it. So down she went.
- oneoverzero, on 11/20/2008, -1/+32Fork bombing is awesome.
And horrible
However i've never heard of it corrupting data... - TheDeepFriar, on 11/20/2008, -2/+32I'm feeling devious........
- felyduw, on 11/20/2008, -3/+32That's a killer Linux command, murderous even.
- 2uantuM, on 11/20/2008, -0/+27i've never heard of loose data.
- Ki77erB, on 11/20/2008, -3/+29how poetic
- PeanutCheeseBar, on 11/20/2008, -1/+27See also: Seven Linux commands that can be given to new users for the lulz.

(Read the comments to learn more about the Evil commands) - frostbyt, on 11/20/2008, -8/+33OMG! I just ran all those commands! How do I get my files back?
- elementop, on 11/20/2008, -3/+262. Get up
3. Walk away from the computer
4. Get a first life - megamod, on 11/20/2008, -3/+26I can definitely see myself randomly copying script from a forum to try to fix something and letting one of those slip.
- superjamie, on 11/20/2008, -3/+25You forkbombed your uni's own ssh server? Over summer? Probably making some students' lives hell as they scrabble for extra credit, and forcing some poor sysadmin to come in over his break to fix it? And you're bragging about it on Digg?
Congratulations, you're officially a douchebag. - PirateFSM, on 11/20/2008, -1/+23::Facepalm:: when I started using linux I did this... I got frustrated with all the "chmod 644 -R /some/folder/file. Needless to say, a reinstall was in my future.
- techdever, on 11/20/2008, -5/+27mkkillwife?
- DontThinkSo, on 11/20/2008, -2/+232. Cut a hole in a box
- yeahright, on 11/20/2008, -0/+20There actually is a fix for this:
Reset the permissions of the all installed RPM packages
You need to use combination of rpm and a shell for loop command as follows:
for p in $(rpm -qa); do rpm --setperms $p; done
for p in $(rpm -qa); do rpm --setugids $p; done
Above command combination will reset all the permissions to the
default permissions under CentOS / RHEL / Fedora Linux. - mdshort, on 11/20/2008, -0/+19NAPA: "Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his trolling level?"
VEGETA: *crush scouter* "ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!" - sirjoebob, on 11/20/2008, -0/+18That's you encourage use of English solutions. ;)
- kd420, on 11/20/2008, -1/+18With great power comes great responsibility. I guess all of these are the downside of any equally powerful positive purpose. You can delete the whole filesystem, but that also means you can backup/restore it just as easily.
- 4321234, on 11/20/2008, -0/+17Whatever it is, it's not unix.
- netneutrality, on 11/20/2008, -2/+19That's the result of typing: "sudo kill penguin"
- ModernDayDarwin, on 11/20/2008, -0/+16I, and just about every one of my classmates, forkbombed one of my universities servers. Ironically enough the assignment was "forkbomb the server in assembly"
- niczar, on 11/20/2008, -0/+16Oh yeah, there's something mighty existential ...
*******************************************
IT DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED
*******************************************
[xx@ws tmp]$ touch *****
[xx@ws tmp]$ mv ***** /dev/null
mv: inter-device move failed: `*****' to `/dev/null'; unable to remove target: Permission denied
/dev/null is a device file, not a directory. mv can only move files (← plural) to a directory. And if you have the proper permissions (ie you're root) and try to mv one file to /dev/null .. well congratulation, you have replace the (1, 3) char device with a plain file!
MORONS WROTE THIS LIST - inactive, on 11/20/2008, -1/+17The filesystem with killer performance!
- DiggitalGhost, on 11/20/2008, -4/+19Dugg for the Commands :)
- threemagic, on 11/20/2008, -2/+17chowning all to some system owner like wheel would be much worse
- TnTBass, on 11/20/2008, -0/+15I want to be able to do these commands by voice, remotely, on your computer.
- Vadi0, on 11/20/2008, -7/+22That's you encourage the use of gui solutions! X)
*flamesuit on* - FLarsen, on 11/20/2008, -0/+15I just feel like writing 8 dots........
- bearcat8543, on 11/21/2008, -1/+16you're doing it wrong.
( . Y . ) - oblique63, on 11/21/2008, -2/+17touch 8===D
mv 8===D (. )( .)
mv (. )( .)/8===D ({})
mv ({})/8===D ./
mv 8===D/.trash/* (. )( .)
sleep 60 - smrekar, on 11/21/2008, -0/+15nope. he just was the hero for the day and made $60.
