----------
This would be acceptable if it had some interesting side effect that
got you special access or if it could be used to otherwise compromise
security; it just wouldn't be very interesting if the only effect you
were able to accomplish were temporary denial of service.

[I should note that I'm not involved in organizing the struggle and
I don't know what kind of rules were set up for it; I would, however,
be personally intersted if overloading the system compromised
it.]
