Poke 1011,0.
That was the code I always used to force a reboot in the case of the user hitting the Reset key. Kept people from crawling through my code.
Sure, it was ham-fisted, but back in those days it worked.
There was another series of pokes I used to write one of the first malicious softwares. Basically, I was dealing with a bunch of other high school students who were ripping off my code. So I wrote code which would re-write itself every time it was run and after so many times it would erase the disk. At the time this kind of thing was not common.
EDIT: Wait one fucking moment. What is this niggery hip hop electronica shit? Why am I listening to this? You're not a coder.
