I will if one of you comes up with a description. I'm too lazy.

is 90 years old and has memorized every command in C++

What is the significance this in relation to the post? Regardless, C++ has very few defined functions which are a direct part of the compiler. Perhaps you are referring to standard library or kernel functions?

Take the one I had in the old thread and just remove the line about being recently released lol

He most likely means the language and all of the different libraries associated to do what you'd need. Try not to take posts like that so literally.

i wonder how many people here don't use a DE or a WM at all

*gasp*, the unimaginable horrors :C

You mean, the people who use servers and VPSes? So horrible.

Anyone got a good dark xfce theme? And a window manager theme to go with it would be nice.

Pff, rm -rf / is for pussies. Real men use shred -fz /

throw in -v to watch your life go down the drain
yay
it seems like maximum effectiveness would be to rm -rf / and then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda, right? wipe the files rapidly so it requires data recovery to get them back, then write over them
maximum speed would rm -rf / and then use /dev/zero written to every other byte causing maximum damage to the most inodes (is that right) before looping over and getting the bytes that weren't zeroed the first time, making the maximum number of files unrecoverable before totally destroying them.
also oh my god i love arch linux and the aur and yaourt
it's like the one-stop-shopping of a typical repo, but it even has all kinds of other cool stuff you'd have to manually install too! like android-sdk. you'd have to dig up a .tar.gz file from google, then do a bunch of stuff, instead i can just type yaourt android-sdk and all is well

my only two complaints are
A: i don't have that pacman progress bar thing that trinick showed off a dozen pages back (what's that called, trinick?)
B: if I run "yaourt tk" to install tk for python, i get literally 2000 packages, all in a list, and i can't scroll to the top to read the most likely candidate. can yaourt be modified to have a paginated output for that? or better, something involving less?

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda

why 0's? random gibberish is more fun

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda

why 0's? random gibberish is more fun

i feel like this might require more processing power, which may lower the effectiveness of the exercise

it's probably negligible though



anyone feel like testing with a stopwatch and trying it out
for science

[$trinick]

yaourt xxx | less

The pacman progress bar is not a package. It's an easter egg for the configuration file.

Also, rm -rf / doesn't work because things are mounted and in use. That's not to say it wouldn't forget up your system, it's just that it wouldn't do exactly what you think it would.
