That's not the idea of the code...plus, it's not like it's punching you in the face or anything, you'd have to figure out how to make the script not work in order to make those ghosts. Heck, i don't even remeber exactly how i did it.

And i doubt anyone would do that...but i will keeping the source open for anyone who wants to look at it or use it (although i'm leaning towards GPL, i still have to read completely through that to make sure i want that). However, it's coded in Ruby, an interpreted high-level OO language, which means that although it is extremely portable, it's a little slow, and people will have to download an interpreter to run it (or i can play around with the developmental ruby2c program that converts ruby code to c so that it can be compiled, but it'll still be a little slow). That may discourage normal users, but it'll also discourage scriptie-kiddies. As for real hackers, this is a fun thing to play around with...if you fire up jj2 and tell the script to connect to localhost (so that you won't screw up other people's servers, like i just found out ), you can do lots of really weird stuff.
