	Indeed, if you want to prevent geeks from doing something make it
very clear that the something is the kind of boring silly stunt that only
clueless idiots do because it's easy and makes trouble and nobody with half
a brain would bother.

	That approach pretty much kept the 370 from being hacked by
students at Cambridge[1] - that and the "we catch you at it we revoke your
access" policy.

[1] The only example I recall in three years was an ASCII[2] art Enterprise
flying round all the terminals in the room late one night - the image was
bigger than a terminal.
[2] I think all the terminals were ASCII - there was a pair of PDP-11s
between the 370 and the terminals.
