BadIdeas are things you JUST SHOULDN'T DO!, generally because the consequences are obviously bad!

Someone told you to 'rm(1) -rf /'? It's probably a BadIdea.

You found a candy bar on the footpath and want to eat it? Chances are it's a BadIdea.

You want to see what would happen if you put your finger in your RJ45 crimper? You guessed it, BadIdea.

You can't be bothered to sort out deps for an RPM you're trying to install and considder adding --force to the command line because someone said it would solve your problems? Generally a BadIdea Mr newbie.

Remember kids, JUST DON'T DO IT!
