Gloat

Why, she paying? I need a wife with income like that.

As partners, I believe she has a right to be a part of it. Most of my projects are for her, and our kids, and soon to arrive grandkid. And she isn't my wife because she has a high income...;)..

Great swap, a definite gloat.

However, if for some reason you paid money for that stuff, instead of swapping the wife for it, that's not a gloat, that's just a brag. Check the archives for the rules on gloats.

Oh, I don't know. It depends: are we talking about wife v.1.0? or 2.0?

Be careful there --- you may be approaching an act of "tourism" with that command. Certainly, your evil-typer finger prints are being double checked by Tom Ridge et al. Also, didn't you mean rm -rf? ... no sense in fooling around with permissions.

OBWW: President Carter is known for doing some nice woodworking. One might guess that many of the very old presidents could/would have done some too. Who was the best president judged solely on the furniture he built? Jefferson was great at design but did he ever actually build anything himself?

-f ... good point. Just used to recursive dumps as root. {ooh, did I say that out loud???}

Best presidential woodworker? Sorry, haven't a clue. I will claim that most of the presidents this country has had have had, at the very least, the best interests of this country, and hopefully, the rest of the world in mind in much of what they have done or attempted. I'm dubious about whether this trend continues today....
