Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

which is basically the OS saying, “Get fucked. You’re done whether you like it or not.”

Nah, the OS is not really saying anything. Definitely not to the program. It's more of a 1984 shot in the back of your head while you walk down a corridor kind of situation. Also it's not a gun your bits just vanish in the ether. Then it sends a death certificate to the parent, without further explanation.

Side note: Have you ever used killall? Was the standard way to send signals by name instead of PID before pkill. I found out the hard way that it does something rather different on other Unices.
