“The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its Navigators, whom the spice has mutated over four thousand years, use the orange spice gas, which gives them the ability to fold space; that is, to travel to any part of the known universe without moving.”

Princess Irulan (Virginia Madsen), Dune

“The chown command changes the owner of the file specified by the File
parameter to the user specified by the Owner parameter. The value
of the Owner parameter can be a user ID or a login name found in the
/etc/passwd file. Optionally, a group can also be specified. The value
of the Group parameter can be a group ID or a group name found in
the /etc/group file.

Only the root user can change the owner of a file. You can change
the group of a file only if you are a root user or if you own the
file. If you own the file but are not a root user, you can change
the group only to a group of which you are a member.”

Vampires are big. You can’t throw a stone and not hit them because they are everywhere. Everyone loves them. We just can’t get enough of vampires.

Pirates are making a strong play at becoming the next vampire. Ever since bony Johnny Depp became a pirate, it’s been cool to be a pirate. Yaarrgh!

Here’s a book series that tops either one of these, because it combines them both. Vamp-pirates! “I vant to suck your blood, yearrgh!

Now, it would be even cooler if the vampirates’ enemies were ninjas.
