AFAIK Facebook will let you to choose between taking lump sum (a fixed amount of pre-tax money), or getting flight tickets and moving service ordered for you, plus after-tax reimbursement for other related cost.
God yes. I remember when I started with C++ I was coming from Python so I was using ' and " interchangably (I guess the fact that they were different hadn't been covered in class yet). I don't remember how I caught that I was doing it wrong, but the exception messages sucked.
They don't -- they work with the local ssh command. Its just that ssh when invoked with a "command argument" runs that command instead of a shell, with the stdin and stdout being run through the network.
The end result is similar to what you said, but the mechanism is different, the pipe itself is strictly a local construct.
Perhaps they need to alias rm to 'rm -I' (-I : prompt once before removal)? I remember one of the MandrakeLinux versions had that enabled by default many years ago. It saved me a couple of times when I was still a Unix noobie.
Just because you are root doesn't mean you should be able to do whatever you like to the filesystem at any time. Most modern unix variants (including linux) support file attributes such as immutability, see the man page for chattr(1) if you want more. In BSD land there is additionally the concept of Secure Levels which limit the ability of root to change file attributes under different circumstances; generally you have to reboot into single user mode to overwrite files or directories marked as immutable or delete ones marked as append_only.
AFAIK a single cd command will set current working directory to /root, and rm -rf will only remove everything under /root. Or does cd command had different behavior in Unix at that time, comparing to shells today?
Did that version of BSD have secure levels? Updating systems where the system binaries are marked immutable can sometimes be a pain; but the comfort level it provides is remarkable.
