Does it mean you are real programmer once you have inadvertently written
your first memory bomb?

So, I write this small C++ program for school and run it through g++. I
hit execute, and my CPU gauge maxes-out instantly. Four seconds later,
I've filled up all four gigs of RAM. XFCE drops my mouse pointer speed
to about 5 pixels a minute (in an apparent attempt to prevent me from
doing further harm...)

Anyway, I guess you gotta watch those loop increment statements. In some
cases the difference between ii += 2 and ii + 2 can be the difference
between 20 runs and 20 trillion. :]
