Ah, I see. A CGI counter. That makes sense - the command kinda looked

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...
Well, any person who doesn't know basic UNIX things probably wouldn't
be brave enough to go into the Terminal and enter a command that a
total stranger gave them. And also, why would anyone think that a
command with a URL in it could recover files?
I guess you have a point there...
But still, it could be argued that a new user might be expected to be a
bit more trusting towards someone posting on a developer's mailing list
such as this one... after all, many people do go to mailing lists, web
boards, and the like for help and follow various other forms of advice
in other areas given by perfect strangers, so why should it be any
different for UNIX commands?
