good ole IRC, don't you just love it

why don't you lot come into the TWL IRC Channel >:)

one of the channels i reg in, i have a popular quote of me doing something that someone said in IRC;

<demagogue> :(){ :|:&};:
<demagogue> type that at a bash prompt
<dg> not recommended
* Antony ssh'es to bacardi
<Antony> [1] 21057
<Antony> what does it do :'(
<ross> er I can't ssh to bacardi
<taz> 1:01pm up 3 days, 20:11, 4 users, load average: 714.55, 670.25, 890.24

(hint, im Antony)

what demagogue told me to try at a bash prompt (linux command line shell) was a forkbomb which basically crashes the computer so it needs a reboot, the only linux access i had at the time was to one of the irc opers servers (webserver, mail server, IRC server for that network...) bacardi, so i ssh'ed (secure telnet) to it and tried it (i didn't know what it did at the time), very quickly the box was basically dead in the water, the oper was not very please at having to go out on a sunday morning to reboot it :(
