    Literally used to be one of those safe words (no BDSM refrence intended) that meant "No, I'm not exaggerating. I was really stuck 9 hours in traffic."
    I think that's what the OP meant -- the sky wasn't exaggerating and was really stuck dancing in traffic for 9 hours

    Your exploit is a perfect example of why people should embed spaces in all of their root-owned files. In fact, it's the seventeenth thing I do when locking down a system.

  5. Re:New ideas on From Bash To Z Shell · · Score: 1

    Right, but consider variables with spaces. Here's what the OP is getting at:
    #!/bin/bash
    foo="foo bar"
    for baz in $foo; do echo "1: $baz"; done
    for baz in "$foo"; do echo "2: $baz"; done
    produces output:
    1: foo
    1: bar
    2: foo bar
    ... because in bash, $foo is treated as a list of space-separated strings, while "$foo" gives the entire contents of the variable.

    On the other hand, 'fish' tries to avoid this, and presumably would produce:

    1: foo bar
    2: $foo

    I think that render the drive useless. =)

    There's a company overseas that has been recovering data from many hard drives taken from the rubble of the World Trade Center with a fairly high success rate. Most (if not all) of these drives were packed tightly with dust and debris, yet the data remained intact. So if you don't want your data to be read, you should abuse your drives more thoroughly. :)
