Note that this is coming from a lowly PSD student, but I want to ask where
are your admins? If a student would've tried playing those games over
here, the admins would've killed the process and deleted the person's
account before anyone could even raise a finger. 

I did this by accident once (load average of 40 on a DEC Alpha...oh yeah!
:) I within about 5 minutes got a nice little note from the admin saying
"While it was cool to watch, do it again and your account is toast."

Where are your root-welding admins?!

Later,
Paul
