I had an idea for something in the terminal/command line that would basically delete EVERYTHING very very VERY easily. I didn't want to try it on my computer, but theoretically do you think it might work?
sudo rm -r /
|
|
|
|
|
And you only discover that now?! 
Mm.. and where do you want to run that command?
|
|
|

Depending on the platform, you may either use
42
or
liquid nitrogen
THESE PEOPLE REALLY BOTHER ME!! How can they know what you should do without knowing what you want done?!?!

A rookie mistake, this actually backs everything up...

I just tried it in a command prompt on Win7, and it did exactly what I thought it would...
Next: "FORMAT C: /s"

Porter Rockwell vs Chuck Norris[^]
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

I'd like to see a browser plug-in that detects whether or not the web page that is loading has a video that starts to play when the page is opened instead of the video just being available to play. When that condition is detected I want the plug-in to send the webmaster an insulting email, place the domain on a blocked list, and redirect the page to something else.
I was just at the Washington Times website and TWO VIDEOS WITH SOUND started playing when I opened a page.
There is no excuse for this sort of behavior.
I'm close to hanging up on the web.
Advertisers need to die in a fire - I really hate those guys.

I'm with you advertising on some sites is so aggressive. I keep a metal note and never return to those sites.

It is a bit like US telly.
I remember when I was over in Florida in 2009, I couldn't believe the adverts on the telly, it was like there was an ad break ever 10 minutes, then those ads were instant short face paced with zero transition between them.
|
|
|
|
|
I've not watched TV in 20 years.
Every time I sit down to watch something inside of 10 minutes I'm so furious at the ads I go do something else.
I try out shows on the web and buy DVDs if I like them.

Florida is where I lived for 27 yrs before I cam to South Carolina, it just runs you off watching the TV.

Thankfully FB provides a simple setting[^] to disable video autoplay. No more drained tablets.

Yes I use that one too, it was very frustrating when they initiated the auto starting of videos.
As far as advertising goes I use AdBlock and for FB there's a Social Fixer plugin for FF that allows you to hide a lot of crap that FB wants to shove down your throat.

On Windows, I use a modified hosts file[^] instead of an ad blocker. Works like a charm and nothing to install!

Awesome I just downloaded and installed I'll check it out.
Thanks for the link!

Great idea about a plug-in, but there are ways to keep videos from playing already.
