&lt;p&gt;Very cool story. I'd ++ if I had any left... One question, though. &lt;code&gt;rm -rf&lt;/code&gt;? On my system it has to be &lt;code&gt;rm -Rf&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
My own story is far less dramatic. I simply have problems with my video players. Mplayer, and Ogle (if I start it from the menu rather than from a terminal) never die cleanly. Sometimes, by the end of the day, I have 20+ processes running due to one or the other program. I whipped up a quick one-liner to seek and destroy them all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I'm looking forward to hearing other people's stories.&lt;/p&gt;
