      FYI, in australia to "have a root" means to "have sex".

      It makes calculus and algebra lectures more interesting, when the professor is searching for easy roots.
      
      likewise in first year CS, when the professor is talking about "root access".

        That must also get interesting when talking about root kits. And it explains why fsck is run as root :-)

        I hope you mounted read-only.
        everyone knows it's dangerous to fsck a mounted filesystem.

        NO NO NO!!!
        If you do that, you will get in SERIOUS trouble.
        
        Didn't your programming professor tell you to check return values?
        
        that should be:
        unzip && strip && touch && finger && mount && fsck && more && yes && umount && sleep
        
        otherwise, you will continue even if the previous action fails, and that would be sexual assault.

        You forgot "head".
        Also sometimes there's an "awk" near the "more" and "yes", but you have to be pretty damn good for that.

        Dear God. Have they taught you people nothing about safe sex? It actually goes:
        whois; trace; date; yacc; gawk; ssh; unzip; strip; find; touch; finger; head; uptime; whereis; latex; mount; join; nice; man; top; split; fsck; gasp; more; yes; exit; umount; sleep; dump

        If your using a windows box make sure you update your virus files, run a complete scan, and setup a firewall to block any dangerous ports before loGing in to any remote system. (ok except for the AV update server but whatever)
