I love dd. Once, in the before time, I was writing a floppy image I downloaded. But I typed hda instead of fd0, and was too young/stupid to double check the command. I learned a lot that day.

Thanks! Anyone that puts Vim at the bottom of text editors really isn't worth talking to about computers. You're either an idiot or your needs in a text editor are so different than mine that we lack the common ground to have a conversation.
