thx to http://www.semicomplete.com/presentations/unix-basics/

note (thx https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8189968): if you do something like 'ls *', files whose name starts with '-' will be interpreted as arguments to 'ls'! Instead, if you are concerned about security, you should do either/both of 'ls ./*' or 'ls -- *' (-- means 'end of option list')

if you hit cntl-S in a terminal it freezes everything! hit cntl-Q to unfreeze.
