New Reading for comprehension
fooker is advising you to redirect the output of a command to create a "blacklist" file to prevent the module from loading. This is about as balled up an idea as I can think of 1) you aren't really blacklisting anything 2) you should never use trickery to accomplish tasks.
This isn't trickery, Ross. It's the same thing as:
  1. vi /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/unwanted
  2. $
  3. o
  4. usblp
  5. :x
Same. Exact. Thing. Except that it's all done on one single commandline. So...what's the big fearysome deal?

It's just extremely bad taste. You don't accomplish manual system administration with redirection, particularly when you're root. If this isn't obvious there is no point in explaining it.

Who on earth is too lazy to actually open/edit a file? Jueezus.

New Oh, you're so damn l33t.
Here's a clue. Everyone does this, all the time. Get over it.

You'll be telling me vi is some kind of text editor, next.
