3. This is really just a way for me to out the *nix nerds

After all...

Hash bang slash bin slash bash

Or, if you're particularly masochistic

Hash bang slash bin slash csh

Or, if you're just flat out nuts

Hash bang slash dev slash random

I kid you not.

Some genius at Ma Bell came up with that term in the early 1960s, IIRC.

Actually, some of us pompously erudite geeks prefer the term.

That sounds like it should be my DU username.
