So far, that is.  Do you have any idea what more than 10 million lines
of essentially untestable--indeed, not even well specifiable--software
are capable of?  I suspect they will probably do nothing, sitting in a
little teeny tiny tight loop somewhere with all interrupts masked (thus
making "The Mouse That Roared" gruesomely prophetic).  But then, they
might set off a few fireworks.  After which, they might even say they're
sorry.
