Hi Liste, das Zucken der Maus hat mich an eine Story erinnert, die ich mal auf /. in einem Userkommentar gelesen habe. Wollte ich Euch nicht vorenthalten.
--> you don't need to be twelve years old to be dangerous. Just tired, bored, and slightly mischeivous. Kind of like the other week, when I was just idly poking around my linux box. I started looking for little tricks with devices, and tried various things like cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp. Which of course resulted in a satisfying white-noise sound. The next, fateful step, was typing cat /dev/urandom > /dev/mouse. I was using a terminal emulator in KDE, and my cursor starting skittering and swooping around the desktop as if posessed. That was funny, until it started violently clicking random things, dragging windows around...at the same time it opened my "home" folder, I realized that the terminal window was logged in as root. The mouse frantically clicked items in my folder while I frantically tried to kick out of X, kill the process, reboot, anything! As the mouse jumped up a few directories and starting roaming, clicking and right-clicking at root level, I lunged for the power button. Before I reached it, the mouse closed its own terminal window, and the cat process. That was the closest thing to terror I have experienced while using a computer. <--- :) Dominique -- [www.snooweatinganima.de]
