Super Cow Powers
-
OK, this is not a WTF, but I thought it was funny. If you have Ubuntu installed (or some other Linux that uses apt), try typing:
apt-get help
Notice that the last line says "This APT has Super Cow Powers.", then type
apt-get moo
And you get a nice ascii cow:

...."Have you mooed today?"...
-
whoa, i'm not even going to point out what the real WTF is here.
-
lol, wow.
welcome to debian/ubuntu.
-
Not a WTF :D Just a nice bit of GPL humor :) Neat. I like humor evei in my server.
-
Welcome to a lot of years ago.
-
I always install Cowsay and sl on all my servers. :-P
-
Try doing a aptitude help. You'll notice the "This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers" line. Of course, it does have said powers
Do a aptitude moo. Then, aptitude -v moo. Then, aptitude -vv moo. And so on.
-
Since I already had a ssh session going, I figured I would post the results...

You cannot really appreciate this unless you were a Debian developer several years ago, it's an in-joke.
<Culus> I recommend we all begin mooing.

Is there a way to disable the html/iframe/etc editor, without disabling javascript everywhere?
-
There is an option in your profile options
Under Site Options find content editor and change it to plain-text
Note: You will have to manually add br or p tags.

I thought you were just supposed to instantly know what all linux commands do and how they work.

Nope. SMF 2.1 has it, and I was not in favour of its inclusion for technical reasons.
