DO NOT RUN THE CODE IN THIS POST. It has a 1 in 6 chance of deleting most of your files. —Chuck
just came across this little gem on slashdot:
Code:
[ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm -rf / || echo "You live"
(my production MBP lives!)
yes, I probably wouldn’t have done without time machine.

Geez, people, don't post this stuff without warning what it is. Just because you know what it does without running it doesn't mean everybody else will.
What it is, for people who don't get it, is Russian Roulette with your hard disk.

People that don’t know what this is probably also don’t know how or where to run it.
And a fast ^C will save you anyway! 
PS: run it as a cronjob for full effect

Well I have no idea what the code does but I certainly know where to enter it.
You could have really screwed up some people's days with that.

I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Honestly? Someone who finds random code somewhere, has no idea what it does, and then runs it probably deserves what they get.
If you don't know what it does, don't touch it!
