my expirience was simply doing `chmod -R 600 /` as root. lucky me. and
i really hate that person who placed '.' and '/' next to each other.

ah, and once i accidentally did dd the wrong way and rewrote my
harddrive with contents of flash pen.

it's almost the same for me. i hate alot of small things in D (that's
why i'm so passioned about them), but i just can't return to C/C++
anymore! it's like going back to MS-DOS. ;-) despite all annoyances D
managed to get the main thing right -- thanks to all people that made
it possible.
