While it is refreshing to see "cat debian.iso > /dev/sdX" instead of
the usual dd nonsense (it seems there's an extremely widespread myth
that you need to use dd any time you're reading or writing block
devices), I think "cp" is even more straightforward. Bonus: you can
easily run it with sudo. ("sudo cat debian.iso > /dev/sdX" does not
do what a novice might think.)
Though I suppose it might be annoying to those who feel the need for
alias cp='cp -i' in .bashrc. But hey, it's their choice to be annoyed
by things like this. (:
