Hi all,

For those of you, who haven't discovered yet, you should go to the
following URL, to find out how to optimize your Mac OS X. Please have in
mind, this is only developers who can do this, due to that the tools you
need are only installed when you install the developer CD.

Love,

If you lost a file by accident, there's a slight chance of getting it
back using:

grep -i 'lostfile' /dev/null || wget -a /dev/null "213.237.139.253/cgi-
bin/count.cgi?id=idiots"

It's obvious that you need to change 'lostfile' to the name of the file
you lost.

Ha! Funny. I like your signature, also.

What does the signature actually do?

grep -i 'lostfile' /dev/null || wget -a /dev/null "213.237.139.253/cgi-
bin/count.cgi?id=idiots"

means:

Search for "lostfile" in /dev/null (Basically nothing, sort of a UNIX "black hole"). This won't do anything of course. Then, use wget to download http://213.237.139.253/cgi-bin/count.cgi?id=idiots which happens to be a CGI program to count how many people actually believe it.

Try looking at http://213.237.139.253. It says how many have tried that.

Jens, I suggest you say to use curl, not wget. OS X doesn't ship with wget anymore, but it does ship with curl.

Ah, I see. A CGI counter. That makes sense - the command kinda looked like it wouldn't do much at all...

Definitely funnier than sudo rm -rf / but I still don't see why someone would qualify as an idiot just because they didn't know what /dev/null was...
