I'd give them a KIM-1 kit, a soldering iron with an intermittent short, and an 8" black and white TV with a dying picture tube to use as a monitor. (A fully tricked-out KIM-1 had 1k of RAM, and a 24-character keyboard.) I'd give them a modem, too, because they wouldn't be able to use it, anyway. And I'd let the badger guard the soldering iron.

So to paraphrase that: "For him that hacketh a fabulous website, let his keyboard change into a Serpent in his hand and rend him. Let him be struck with Palsy, and all his members blasted. Let him languish in Pain crying aloud for mercy, and let there be no Surcease to his Agony till he sink to Dissolution. Let Bookworms gnaw his Entrails in token of the Worm that dieth not, and when at last he goes to his final Punishment let the flames of Hell consume him forever and aye."

That ought to do it.

When they reboot, It tells them to "hit any key to continue" and so on and so on ad infinitum. Oh, and give them each a vasectomy so that the extinction of their species is assured.

Pissed off a whole lot of DIVAS. Cursing them with plague, blight, pre-electricity and pre-hot water life styles and hoping they are condemned to an afterlife of swineherding.

As to the purps... let us assume that they don't understand irony and move on to the real good stuff. Bridey and Tropical Chrome defiantly have some great ideas, and I don't want to take that away from them. I think that as a rehabilitation step (after the Compy and AOL downgrade and the multiple Epilady treatments) should be to blog about their infinite faults in a fully disclosed manner, a minimum of 5 times per week. Think of it as blogosphere community service. We get to leave scathing comments to them whenever, and they must reply that we are correct in our unappealing conceit of their personality(ies) and back it up with little known facts from their lives. Or we could forgive.... hmmm... What Would Cameron (Manheim) do??? Cheeky – ditto, but maybe not the time or place.
