Posted by timothy on from the as-in-shoot-out-the-lights dept.

skyshock21 writes "There's an article over at hohle.net about what actually happens when you type the commands Format C: in windows versus rm -Rf / in Linux. Very interesting results indeed. Myths are busted, and hilarity ensues."

      If only they had a syrum containing knowledge, then this would be a viable stance.

      "Your" head? Do you know where the other AC is from?

      Wonder how many nukes America could get away with throwing around before the rest of the world decided to average out the height of some of America's major cities.

  5. YOU GOTTA READ THIS: A guy I know by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    He's an office worker in a Ohio district. Anyway, he's walking past some republican party office just down the corridor from where he is, and they're shredding EVERYTHING. printed out emails, what look like slips, long lists of names...everything.

    Anyway, they see him standing there in the open doorway and ask him too leave, not too politely. When he goes back later the door is closed and a guys standing outside.

    don't want to give any identifiable info about him, sorry. Anyway, my guess is we'll be hearing a lot more about it in a couple months.
