    There was an old virus that would copy your FAT table to ram, erase it from disk, and preset you with a slot machine UI where you would gamble to get the FAT back, if you won, great, the virus would write the FAT back to the drive, if not, you lost everything.

    Rebooting without playing meant loosing everything.





  • Not sure about today, a few years after I mustered conscription was stopped, then for 15 years or so, we had no conscription, but a few years ago it was reinstated.

    If you were selected back when most men was conscripted, you had the option to pick a weapon free service, you still had to serve, but in the civilian world, say like a firefighter or similar. Complete refusal would eventually lead to prison time.

    When I mustered, they were completely open with the fact that if you didn’t want to do it, it would be taken into account, and mostly respected, depending on the circumstances.

    They didn’t really want people who didn’t want to be there.
