Ack! Indeed, the hazards of using gmail as your IDE.
Should be this:
```javascript
var fd = fs.openSync("foo.txt", "r")
var buf = new Buffer(fs.statSync("foo.txt").size)
buf.fill(0)
fs.read(fd, buf, 0, buf.length, 0, function () {
throw new Error("This will never be called")
})
while (true) { // loop goes forever, jealously holding onto this tick
for (var i = 0; i < buf.length; i ++) {
// I sure hope there are no break-ins...
if (buf[i] !== 0) {
throw new Error("HIDE YA KIDS, HIDE YA WIFE")
// todo: Hide ya husbands too. They takin e'rbody up in here.
}
}
}
```
