Fun thing to do as root, in the root directory:
chmod -R 666 *
Just as bad as rm -rf *, but more fun.

And you can't change permissions, since chmod isn't executable either. :-)

What is that? Copyright on mail? I beliece you can't do that; it is too
short to be considered art.

....and if you can, you should be banned from the list, because people
expect to be albe to reply, which quotes text.

I hereby grant anyone on the list who is replying to me directly
or back to the list the right to quote the message from me to
which they are replying, from now until the end of eternity.

Now get back to work fixing kernel bugs and stuff.  ;o)

No, Pavel's clock is fine AFAIK.  The message was sent in
January.  However, it was just received AGAIN today.  I don't
have a clue how it could have happened, but my guess was perhaps
vger was restored from a backup or something and the mail queue
was ancient.

Also, my duplicate filter is still nailing lots of postings from
lkml, so some looping must still be happening as I'm only sub'd
under this address.

Unfortunately, my clock is b0rken. This damn little machine just does
not have ability to retain time across reboot. [For booting, I need
winCE. WinCE will crash upon boot if something unexpected (like linux)
is in memory. Therefore I need to remove main battery for reboot :-(.]

It even does not have ability to retain time correctly during powersave
mode, but that could be solved.

Before someone says "NTP", this machine is usually not connected anywhere --
it comunicates via ATA flash. Maybe I could scan  flash for newest timestamp
and use that for date...

Oh, and it might be possible that mail was accidentaly sent twice. Sorry for
confusion.

On a similar system I use a little trick so the time is at least always
increasing:

- touch the file /etc/timestamp just before the system shuts down
- on bootup I set the time with:
    CURRENTTIME=date -r /etc/timestamp
    date -s "$CURRENTTIME"

The message is reporting current/maximum read speeds. There's no 
indication that this is or is not what was intended to be reported. If
it was intended to be max write/read speeds then it should be using 
the two bytes at +18 and 19 of mode page 2a not the ones at +14 and 
15.
