Sic brass.

You got a dog what'll fetch brass for you?  Does s/he actually retrieve?  Or just point?

sit, stay, heel, down, fetch, release, come, stay, off, hush, in the back, out, do it

I use "easy" instead of "woah" for when correcting a creeping dog on point. Woah sounds too much like no.

Two co-workers buggered up their laptops with spyware and other good fun.  Unknown whether their data they backed up is also infected, but I told them to back up everything of value and I would nuke the drives and reinstall the OS and apps, clean. 

Yep, that's going to make sure they're real clean.   :O

I'm surprised you didn't to /dev/random

Stock /dev/random isn't very random.  NIST found an AWESOME RNG.  A laser and a single photon counting module, that's it.  You just time between photons striking.   Insanely random.  Like quantum mechanics random.  Very high speed too.

LOAD "*",1,1 for tape, I believe...

This is an easy one, but I just learned it:

cd -

(goes back to last working directory, regardless of where it is)
and cd .. (to parent) cd . (display current) [popcorn] oh and clr is handy. if your on a unix like system that has it lynx can be fun, for awhile. really handy while doing a command based system install. gg gentoo, before it was hobbled.

A guy I knew in college had lynx hooked up with the libcaca image-to-text program somehow to display images, and he made his terminal font tiny, and colored, and I swear to God, on his iPhone it looked almost like a normal browser.
