Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?

A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.

    Couldn’t you use a separator to make it one line of code? That way it’d be even more dangerous

        Ever since those Aliens brought us their ancient and mysterious line separator tech, we have all we need to do just that!

          Independence day was indeed a great movie. Who would have thought they also use X86 architecture?
