Gimme a break! This thing has circulated in every circle on the planet.
"nth-complexity infinite binary loop, which severely damages the
processor"? Who's creating this shit? I've been programming on nearly
every processor on the planet for 23 years. The concept of this is as
absurd as the "virus that destroyed the aliens sent out by an Apple
computer" in Independence Day 4!
