Crappy code, it'll eventually have a stack overflow or run out of memory.... way too much overhead from repeatedly calling a function and never returning.
Try this:
for(;;) { printf( "In Soviet Russia, recursive jokes love YOU! PROFIT!" ); }
In Soviet Russia, all your base are still belong to us!
Now when the soviet russia effect goes out, start panicking. But the real meltdown happens if somebody can prove that 42 is NOT the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
We didn't have any smoke OR plastic! We programmed in NullTran, PLminus1, and, uh, French!
String hadn't been invented yet, so we used courier pigeons. Bandwidth was OK, but you haven't seen lag until your pigeon decides to sit on a power line for an hour.
BTW, I say Linus gets a 24-hr webcam in his house.
I agree. Maybe then we'll find out why the F he's naming kernel releases "stoned beaver" and such. I mean really, what the heck is he doing in his free time?
I had to change the head a couple times, but it still works! Can't say much for the looks, but it's almost impossible to move a soul from one body to another and all that.
Only problem is that now all my attempts at humor on slashdot are duds.
I had a watch when I was younger that I loved (can't remember brand/model), and I lost it.
Many months later we were having our septic tank emptied, and the workers found my watch in the yard. This thing had spent a good portion of a year (if not more) in our yard in rural Connecticut (I don't live there anymore, thankfully), and had clearly been put through the lawnmower. Half of the watch band was missing. It still worked, and I kept it until the battery died a while ago.
And ironically I now own a Casio Data Bank watch. Hey, is that a black helicopter?
This is a prime example of "the cockroach syndrome". The uglier, stupider, and more useless the item is, the longer it will last, making it harder to justify getting rid of it (or harder to get rid of it period).
Take for example, DOS. You can't get much uglier and useless than DOS. Yet because it's so ugly and useless, it's also the most stable OS in the world. No, really! DOS is incredibly simple (there's a (practically) complete open-source clone of it (FreeDOS), and it only took a few years), so there basically is no OS to crash, only applications. And I bet you've seen a computer running DOS within the last week or two.
Better idea: 1. Create broadcast address for entire internet. (0.0.0.0 maybe?) 2. Entire files sent via above address, UDP, with said address as source. 3. Impossible to trace, because the internet has crashed. 4. Return to sneakernet!
I don't live in a dorm, and this is not a rental.... but it's a tiny space (in a big house) AND IT'S ALL MINE! HAHAHHAHAAA! Oops, sorry.
I've got an ancient UPS with four outlets connected to a four-outlet box, giving me 7 usable outlets off of that (one happens to be free because I'm not using two monitors at the moment). I also have a power strip with a 90MHz pentium box, it's modem, and my powerbook's A/C adapter.
What's plugged into the UPS? One 17" monitor, an Athlon XP box with a 420 watt PS, an old Compaq Deskpro (soon to be two), a Performa 575 which I don't use too often (but the battery is shot, so it must be plugged in in order to keep the time), and an A/C adapter for my 8-port hub (four ports used right now).
That adds up to five, so now I'm wondering WTF is hooked up to that other plug... probably a loose power cord with nothing connected. Oh, and there's one cord hooked into the same wall plate as the UPS, no idea what that is either. For all I know, I forgot a computer in here somewhere. *laugh track*
Which is a bad thing, because that means it's not running distributed.net. *laugh track* I'll have to trace those cords later... *mission impossible theme*
Slashdot Mirror
Try this:
BitTorrent, fool!
I prefer soviet russian music, because it listens to me.
Drugs aren't cheap.
Probably not, but there is linux for PS2... anybody know whether SDL has been ported yet?
You DID take a screenshot, didn't you? I'm not saying you should share it with us, but it'd be a cryin' shame if you didn't take a screenshot.
It'd make a good MasterCard commercial: "Your boobs broadcast directly to your sister's co-worker: Priceless."
That's okay, because then:
In Soviet Russia, all your base are still belong to us!

Who's the (un?) lucky geek who got a slashdot account immediately after you?

Damn youngsters! Oh wait...
It's still possible to run a BBS. Just something you might want to keep in mind.
I once got an account on jennicam by guessing a number. Definitely one of the top ten freaky things that have happened to me.

You too? Crap!
My gf and I play Pokemon Puzzle League against each other all the time.
Man, 11 years old and you've already got a girlfriend? I smell BS.
But do we use the color libcaca, or the black-and-white aalib?
Your p90 is a thin-client? Mine's a server. Much more useful. More 1337.
Same for spanish. Essentially "crap". But there's probably already a libcrap out there (maybe it translates C code into rap lyrics?).
And of course the front page says "its da shit", so it was definitely implied.
Look who's talking.

Crap, I better patent this!
Like a college network with a bunch of geeks swapping, um, educational materials?
