Q: sewer or sewers

I was playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES when I stopped to ponder; when in a place full of sewage, am I in the sewer or am I in the sewers? Mayhaps both? Also on further use of the root word, if a sewer contains and, by mixture, creates sewage then would a person covered in that se...

It’s not really a question, but it is funny.

Chmod

In Unix-like operating systems, chmod is the command and system call which may change the access permissions to file system objects (files and directories). It may also alter special mode flags. The request is filtered by the umask. The name is an abbreviation of change mode. == History == A chmod command first appeared in AT&T Unix version 1. As systems grew in number and types of users access_control_lists were added to many file systems in addition to these most basic modes to increase flexibility. == Command syntax == Usual implemented options include: -R recursive, i.e. include objects in...
