Crushing Experience

Watch as the webserver counts itself down before it activates the industrial crusher attached to it, bearing 150-tonnes of brute force onto itself and terminating its existence. Check out the details on the Tsunamii.Net website or visit the webserver directly at http://195.195.81.5."

    What a cool idea for a contest...

    Most *real* old-skool hackers don't have enough funds to buy themselves a decent PC. :) We work just enough to buy ramen and pay for 'net access. *Really* dedicated hackers don't even pay for the net access! :p (Mountain Dew and Pop-Tarts are obtained in bulk from nearby vending machines, usually through non-orthodox means)

    Anyhow, my point, if I did have one in the first place would be that the contest would consist of a nice new box in the crusher and the hacker who gets in and saves it from destruction gets to keep it! It's like the cyber version of a game show!

    Okay well, *I* think it would be cool. :)
