[olug] To Sudo or Not to Sudo, That is the Question

[Jay Woods]

In 1964, I hosed a 360/67 using the West Virginia multitasking system (MFT) 
several times. I had 5 jobs stacked in the system to run over the weekend, 
each with a bad job card that overwrote chunks of the operating system. It 
brought the system down each time it was started up and began running jobs. 
The sys admins after a day or so, finally caught on it was my stuff, flushed 
them out of the system, and were not pleased with me.
