Microsoft Word Haxxing

[MyndFyre]

I learned a new shortcut key for Word completely by accident today: Alt+X.

Apparently it translates the character immediately to the left of the cursor into its Unicode representation.  I discovered this when I went to press X typing "exemplified" and the E turned into 0065 (small "e" is Unicode U+0065). 

Nothing particularly amazing, just something neat I thought.

Bull, you were obviously typing the word "sex" :-P

True.  He was spell-checking one of the messages he sent me in last night's cybor session.

I'm just afraid of getting a virus.  But if you use protection (firewall), maybe we can arrange something...

Baby, I have a software and a hardware firewall.  We're set!

But wait.. I heard somewhere that you have a 3.5" floppy.. is that true?

And is it true that inexperienced Linux users (like MyndFyre, for example) tend to "man mount"?

I laughed.   

[Newby]

They are also prone to fsck their own 3.5" drives for no good reason. Maybe because their filesystem sucks and so do they.

Just be worried if I rm -rf /*

I don't think you got the joke.  And incidentally, you don't add stars.  Plus you'd have to be logged in as root or be using sudo to do that.

[Newby]

Why not add stars? That way it leaves / completely empty, versus removing /!

[deadly7]

When I didn't add stars it cleared out the whole directory just fine..
