So how about smuggling in some doubt into their minds: will I get
caught? Is that acid or water? Why is that water red? Will this
gate latch from the inside and trap me? Is that doghouse empty?

I'm installing DTK on all our school machines... not to _attract_
lamers but to make them wonder if we're _really_ worth the time.
Or maybe I'm just lying ;-)

It's a neat-o idea: waste their time... like owning a Win95 box :)
