Heh. Reminds me...

Post #106,356 by tseliot 6/17/03 4:19:21 PM Reply	Heh. Reminds me... I had an application once that, if a certain user logged on, would open a new window, full-screen, with no control bar (no "close" button, etc). This it would do every tenth time or so, with a small random element in the counting. Evil. Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance - Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation. BOfH, 2002 "Episode" 10

Not much fun, but some. -- Chris Altmann

Post #106,379 by SpiceWare 6/17/03 6:06:58 PM Reply	cricket during college, had a class on an IBM system(might have been a 36) the keys of the terminals "clicked" using a buzzer. the terminal bell(control-g) used a longer duration "click" that sounded like a cricket. Wrote a program, cricket, that simulated the logon screen. It would wait until the next hour began(ie: minutes=0) then randomly control-g based on how many minutes into the hour the time was. The beginning programming class after mine hadn't started using the terminals yet(still in lectures). Started up cricket on all the terminals before that class began.
