From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which ep/movie are you referring to?
The one where they go back in time but the whales were already nuked
I... actually can't tell if you're taking the piss or if that's a real episode.
I have so many questions about the whales.

If this exploit was more performant, I wonder how much longer it would have taken to get noticed.
