bah humbug

Just gimme an ic board, a Flash card, a battery and Slackware. I'll port zdoom via telekenisis and hack into AT&T's mainframe with a furby over uucp and run a cron job to trojan all Windows XP machines with an outdated version of VMS.

./configure && make && make install --no-matter-what

Just kidding.



Nice review.

granted that may be a good idea to cronjob all windows xp boxes with outdated VMS..

I say you use mysql on a windows 95 telnet shell and have it create a database out of the logs it stores for all the computers connected to it. Compile that database into a ASCII text file and use a altered version of ping to send fragmented packets to microsoft.com, Then exploit the internet explorer bug and change the wallpaper on all windows9x boxes to the wonderful tux logo. while running a macro to have the computers delete the win.com in the windows directory.. rename msdos.sys to ihateyou.bch and have it exploit every os/2 box and force them to fax files to a toaster using IPX/SPX (Net bios protocal engaged of course) to my refridgerator magnet which can through static electricity evaporate osama bin laden.
