Ping someone who has one of those idiot "scan all traffic for viruses" packages, and include a short virus signature. That might cause some fun and excitment.
(Don't try this at home, script-kiddies. Each ICMP packet has a source IP field, you know.)
Some modems would only accept the +++ string if it was on the outgoing side (to the phone line) so that the far end couldn't monkey with commands and settings. BBS operators still had to worry about echoing +++ back out and some software would add a nul in the middle. I usually turned it off completely and used DTR to drop the connection.
Note that this applies to scanning streams for virus content, not the basic port blocking. Actively scanning all network traffic for last week's list of known viruses seems wasteful and a violation of KISS.
That should only work with modems that took the cheap route. +++ is supposed to be wrapped with a guard delay that would prevent that. (There's probably some vulture lawyers still charging licence fees for Hayes' patent on that.)
Siebel also tried the route of buying competitors with extreme prejudice. Buying a company to shut them down is an expensive quick-fix, but doesn't address the problems with their own stuff. (And aquiring Worldcom as a customer by doing that wasn't as profitable as they hoped.:^)
Magically eh? Perhaps they should slap a CLI on top of the GUI?

You are in an open desktop west of a big white house with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here, a disk icon and a trash icon...
I guess that the blood-burning fuel cell would be a really bad idea for this application? (Then again, sacrificing other people for my gaming fix has a certain chaotic-evil spice to it.)
"Before I give you that, have you properly filled out a form twenty-seven
B-stroke-six? Sorry, I'm a bit of a stickler for paperwork. Where would we
be if we didn't follow the correct procedures?"
Well that's handy: An international standard and just the protocol to hack rather down to a particular chip. That'll be a boost for the mod-chip business.;)
"Hey, I have an idea for a video game. You could program it and we could split the money 50-50!" (I heard that one a few times in the coin-op games era.)
Maybe he should have just hired someone to whack him with a stick when he tries to buy cheap motherboards, ram or harddrives? (I didn't know Apple makes their own ram and hard drives...:^)
You're buying a small sealed quality that's perfectly safe inside its container. (I believe the beta from tritium is stopped by a sheet of paper or your dead skin layer.) Larger amounts that could be released are different.
Besides.. "[makes hand gesture] I don't need a medical exam." "[watching glock] You don't need a medical exam..."

Old days?

Webvan was using George Shaheen 1.1 which had buggy resource leaks. Siebel installed George Shaheen 1.5 as CEO so they should be fine.
Besides DDOSing them and melting their servers?
But what if they close down the WiFi on weekends? How long is the Titan weekend anyway?

GET DISK ICON
Choosing a career based on a well-lubricated encounter at a bar, it turns out, may not be the most promising route to career satisfaction.
No, but it's a great way to have fun while getting paid for doing research! ("Just water for me tonight, I'm the designated-control.")(1) Fit inside a human body without much fuss.
(2) Not drain the person dry within two hours.
Without those limitations, I'm sure they could come up with something. (How does Arioch Enterprises sound?)

How station security ("We've got a player-killer loose in Brown-7.") or Bo and Mack pushing those space broom things that nobody knows what they do?

Yeah, but who wants to run the server supporting the methane-breather washrooms?
Who is going to put in a report against them?
That depends. If they deface a site with goatse...My pr0n site hijacked your honored site!

Sounds like the start of Grand Theft Auto or something.
And you could run BitTorrent over UUCP. Take that **AA!
Hey, just a sugestion. Poor little guy lost his job at Microsoft. No one will hire him and he just wants a hand up, not a hand out.
