Can Fedora count it rpms?

I can't believe someone else hasn't said this already, "Don't run
commands that you don't know what they do."

If you'd hopped into the middle of some other thread, the command might
have been one that would screw up your system.

What you do have is minus 2352 brownie points, now.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
