i'm not sure if it is causality or coincidence, but that was going around
internally today.  no argument it is darwinism in action, but consensus
was more disgust over calling "rm -rf" a "piece of code" followed by
apparent lack of knowledge by a bunch of snarky replies from people so
awesome they apparently fail to grok that data blocks really don't just go
away (that'd upset the FBI and NSA).  a few team members decided to retire
and never connect to the Internet again, since the LCD can't get much
lower.
