Of course! You know me and my love of the CLI.And Van, I know you would love this thread.
Indeed. Transparency sure does seem to be a popular change (if you want to count a sample of 4 as significant).Funny that, so far, all but Dennis' has been transparent
Hence the 'so far'. I will say that in the Linux crowd I know, it's common as well (I do the same color combination/transparency on my linux laptop as well)Of course! You know me and my love of the CLI.

p.s. Pretty cool/interesting thread otherwise!
Perhaps people should just be careful executing what they don't understand
Seriously, there's a lot of power at the command line. Often times things can be done much faster and easier than at the GUI. With that, however, comes the option to royally muck things up. All in all though, it's a good thing to learn.

A solution/preventative to this is Unix virtual machines. Download a nice Linux or BSD distribution (or if you hate yourself, Solaris), install it as a VM and experiment away with impunity. Problem solved! Haha.Perhaps people should just be careful executing what they don't understand
