- Hah, that won't work. klaava (and kruuna; they are Finnish for heads
- and tails, as in coins) is the machine I (and Linus himself as well!)
- read news. They are some Sun machines and belong to the university.
-
- Besides, I think you reversed the strcmp test.
-
- Also, I think you should give Linus a bit more credit for inventiveness.
- Like, say,
-
- if (strcmp(host, "haven") == 0)
- randomly_corrupt_one_byte_in_buffer_cache();
-
- Don't insult him with mere panics. :-)
