Mad hax0r skillz

Posted on February 13, 2014 By admin

It takes a certain amount of skill to write a 3 line shell script like this:

#!/bin/bash
source [FILE THAT DOESN'T EXIST]
service [EXECUTABLE NOT CONFIGURED AS A SERVICE] start

It takes an ever greater amount of still to have this as part of a well known, large-scale code project, where the controller scripts can point to possibly conflicting (or sometimes empty!) configuration files.

The nightmare continues.

Quote of the day

The one positive thing you could say about the bread products around him was that they were probably as edible now as they were on the day they were baked. *Forged* was a better term. Dwarf bread was made as a meal of last resort and also as a weapon and a currency. Dwarfs were not, as far as Vimes knew, religious in any way, but the way they thought about bread came close.
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
