sudo cat /dev/hda > /dev/hdbWorked, 0.o
Fun, Thanks, anyone anyone know a GUI for formatting/partitionsing a disc? I know fdisk, but any utilities with a GUI?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Why BS=1M and I'm guessing --progress means verbosely ?

Adding --progress updates stdio with information about how far the operation has come.

BS=1M is a pretty good size for block buffer copy size.  I think dd defaults to 1 kb block sizes, which would result in 1024 more reads at a time per megabyte of disk space, whereas larger block sizes tend to strain your memory manager.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.

Was I horribly wrong?
Edit: I'm horribly wrong. Whatever.
I read that as "disk" which would mean "hard disk."
