I will be reporting it to my superiours in TESCAU (The Evil Sysadmin

A copy of Simon Travaglias canonical BOFH text can be found on my
Site:

http://neil.franklin.ch/Jokes_and_Fun/Bastard_Operator/bastard.html

For those without Unix experience to understand the caption picture:

rm -r /*          kills all files on all disks
kill -9           kills an running program, without any chance of it surviving
shutdown -h now   stops computer immediately, all user just get told:
                     "the computer is going down now" and then it does.

The canonical one is actually:

tail recursion: (noun) see tail recursion

implying of course:

recursion: (noun) see recursion and then carry on

That one though really needs a good programmer, who knows the concept
of recursion and particularly the tail form of it, that is used for
emulating loops in languages which do not have loops or gotos.
