Malicious Security Crackers: "We used to take an account and try out about 40,000 passwords on it in about 5 seconds to see if it would unlock. LJ doesn't let us do that anymore. Damn that LJ! We'll show them! Here, have a malicious script!"
Malicious script: *takes 5 most commonly used passwords, tries them on 40,000 different accounts*
4000 LJ accounts: *unlock*
Malicious Security Crackers: "Score!"
LJ Geeks: "O RLY."
LJ: *stops allowing even remotely easy passwords*
4000 LJ users: "Hey! That was a perfectly good password! Why'd you make me change it?"
LJ Support: *facepalm*

LJ Geeks: *write more code*
LJ Admin: "Release the code!" *pokes server*
LJ Server: *falls over* "Error 500! Ow!" *can't get up*
LJ Admin: *blush*
LJ Addicts: "OMG ERROR 500!!"
LJ Support: "We know."

Bantown Crackers: "Hey, cool security flaws in Javascript, IE, and Firefox!"
Security Flaws: "How are you gentlemen?!"
LJ: "What happen?"
Bantown Crackers: "All your base are belong to us."
LJ Admin: "Subdomains for everybody! Fuck off, craxx0rbitches."
Free Users: "Yaaaay!"
Paid Users: "...no fair. Like we ever use voice post."
Permanent Users: "STFU, n00bs."
LJ Admin: "What they said. Suck it. Security reasons. Plenty of other sites out there."
Early Adopters: "Where's the LOVE?"
[livejournal.com profile] brad: "STFU, n00bs."
[info]_____xo_so_em0_x_xx_____: "MY UNDERSCORES! WTF!"
LJ Support: "You got a rename token, so suck it."
[info]so__________gratuitous_x_x_x: "WTF? They got a free rename token and I didn't?"
LJ Support: "It's called restrictions on what subdomains can be named. Your username still works. Deal."
[info]so__________gratuitous_x_x_x: "OMG THE HYPHENS!"
[livejournal.com profile] note_to_cat maintainer volunteering in Support: "Suck it."

Bantown Crackers: "We still got cookies, yo."
LJ Admins: "Oh no you don't."
All login cookies: *expire*
Bantown Crackers: "Well, fuck. Eh, more suckers to hack out there."
All previously logged-in users: "WTF? We're logged out!"
LJ Support: "Big frickin' deal. Log in again. Duh."

The half of LJ that wasn't paying attention: "...Dude. What did they do with the passwords and URLs and shit? How come I got logged out? Somebody? Anybody? Bueller?"
LJ Support: "OMG HEADACHE."

Before I get into anything complicated, though, I think I'd be a lot more comfortable copying crap off disks from the command line rather than the newfangled mouse-way. Eh?

...Something tells me I'm going to mung things up somewhat badly in my learning process, and something also tells me that I'd be ever-so-slightly crucified for using an Untested Application Dammit on the network. Especially if it munged things up. (Erm. I think Naomi just came out, because I don't say "mung".)

Granted we could keep it off the network and just play around on the local drives, which is probably safest. Um. Heh.

Leave a geek with a repetitive task for five mind-numbing hours, and the geek will be falling all over herself to make the machine do it for her so all's she has to do is type the stuff on the label in, feed it the disk, read a book, then eject, and repeat.

Except it doesn't do to be reading a book where Management can see you. And I was working In The Back on this, with the computers that have swappable floppy drives, in a cubicle under Management's nose. I was working in the Sampling cubicle! Next to Comic Pirate Super! At K-Bone's computer! (It's a big cubicle, with three corners, and a computer in each corner. Nice and spacious, but also cozy and homey because K-Bone has a bazillion pictures of the kidlets.)


Now. I think that I'll be going back to our book, because if she stays up with this, we'll be up all night.
