Festivito
(13,553 posts)Perhaps there's nothing appropriate about questioning God?
I had run it in immediate mode rather than console mode.

(1,837 posts)everyone.. do use the 'man' (manual) command 1st to make sure you understand what the command is. that said, so far everything is harmless on any *nix.
p.s. i got the original idea from a 'linux command-line tips & tricks' page. nothing nefarious.

Recursion
(56,582 posts)$ make love
