Sometimes we do things because we are dumb.

If you don’t know what this means, I’ll tell you: it means I’ll be backing some things up and installing OS X 10.4 this evening; I’ll just take this as a sign.

I wonder why everything in /usr was owned by group ‘mcj4′. There’s no knowing at this point, and the side effect is that I was able to nuke my Mac.

Yep, yep. Stupids R us. It must be one of those days…
