haha, like two years ago, i had a dream about a unix flash virus after staying awake sehr late to finish a cs final project. (slightly edited from the original because i ramble when sleepy)
i just had a dream that a macromedia flash app drove this motorcycle (complete with "vroom" noises:), after my cs groupmates and i (one of which was really cute, and that i was semi dating, may i add) had telnetted into remus [the rutgers cs dept. server]. the app was actually sent to someone's remus account when they checked their mail, and launched automatically when the third groupmate, who was upset at this semi-relationship, got into pine first. i suppose that would make it a unix flash virus. why do i dream these things?
anyway, this was the plan, the master plan of some person who knew we would be so enthralled by this motorcycle. the motorcycle actually worked, of course. so, there was this giant chase scene on the parkway, because the police weren't too happy about it after being alerted by the person who wrote the flash app, because all s/he wanted was our remus account passwords to do something (evil).
the macromedia flash powered motorcycle was nifty O though. it used touch screen navigation and could go 65 mph. too bad we all died in a flaming ball of fire when we crashed into the crazed cop (in a game of chicken).
okay, maybe it couldn't technically come true, but still!:P
