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.

Yeah iago, where were you for our victory cyber threesome?

He doesn't like having sex with people who use Windows.

I'd've jumped on FC5.

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..

10/10.  I lol'd IRL for a good minute.

Both ways work, slightly differently.  /* removes all files under /, and everything unde them.  / removed /, and all directories below it.  Since you can't remove /, it has the exact same affect.  Makes no difference!

I thought you might appreciate that one

I don't think you got the joke.  An inexperienced Linux user would always be on root anyway.

Look at that, you just shot the joke to hell.
