I'd be willing to bet that someone has already run a fork bomb just to see what would happen.

Yes, I'm from Runnable. People have tried fork bombs. We are pretty good and cleaning them up. Please do not try this and let other users enjoy the platform

I'm sorry to say I did run a piece of java code to see how it handled creating many threads.. Didn't mean to cause any harm. I was just curious.

I installed ghc just to see if packages could be installed, sorry if that caused you problems.

[ykumar6]

that seems fine to me

Speaking of GHC, you guys should work on supporting Haskell.

Why wouldn't you use a normal user and not root ? This seems overly dangerous

[ykumar6]

We follow an honor-based system. If a user abuses root access, we take their privileges away

[Alupis]

Nice, but some users are not "honorable". And you make it super easy and quick to make accounts, no confirmation, just enter some email address. (not that i'm complaining about that part, i like easy signups... but it may open you to abuse).
