“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.”

Because mutiny on the bounty’s what we’re all about
I’m gonna board your ship and turn it on out
No soft sucker with a parrot on his shoulder
‘Cause I’m bad gettin’ bolder – cold getting colder
Terrorizing suckers on the seven seas
And if you’ve got beef – you’ll get capped in the knees
We got sixteen men on a dead man’s chest
And I shot those suckers and I’ll shoot the rest

Beastie Boys, “Rhymin’ and Stealin'”
