Piracy is bad



For those of you out there who aren't Unix/Linux geeks, here's the punchline:

the Unix command to delete a file is RM. If you have a folder and you want to delete it and all it's contents, you add the -r flag to make the deletion recursive. Thus we have "rm -r"

-Thanks to Sarah for pointing out that you don't 'at' the flag, you 'add' the flag.

and for those of us who are not computer geeks, but writing nerds, it would look something like r--r
(in word, that creates an "em-dash")
