Oookkkk … so what have we proved here? That stupid programming practices
can kill a system? So tell the truth … do YOU write perfect code? Do YOU
release absolutely BUG-FREE code?
I know a dozen ways I can crash any system on the market. And most of them
do not take a genius to figure out. The absolute worse nemesis to a new
release of any system is an administrator with an install disk, or an
application developer with a keyboard. It is guaranteed that he/she/it will
find a way to kill the best-written code on the planet. The second question
asked by support is an incredulous (You did WHAT, before it crashed!?!?!?!"
Which reminds me of the single phrase that was found to predate the Big Bang
– “ooops”.

no while(1),just this is enough:
int main(void)
{
printf(“\t\b\b”);
}
