need help crashing server...
#1
background story:
for my cs assignment, it is handed in online, after you handed in, it tells you if your program works or not. And if your program fails, you can resubmit, to a maximum of 3 times per day.
I just used up the 3 tries for today, and the assignment is due tonight.
However if the server crashed for more than 1 hour before the due time, we get 12 hour extension. So I can resubmit. And I already figured out what's wrong (binary search algorithm, find= (max+min)/2, but if max is maxint, max+min will give a pineappleed up negative number that's why took me so long to detect where I messed up)

now all i need to do is hope for the server to crash. The server crashed last week, since so many people are handing in at the last moment. Now I want to help in crashing the server. What's the most effective way to crash a server? right now I'm just spamming refresh page....

Upload child pron and call someone?
Could you write something that renames files or folders... such as system32?

lol shouldn't have used up all your tokens! Refreshing won't work. The server crashed probably because a lot of code was being run on it, not because a lot of people were visiting the server.

Man up and take the incomplete or late grade instead of trying to cheat your way into getting a full mark.

Yes! server crashed, we got extension, and I just handed in and got full marks. Biggrin
(at least 50/60, last 10 marks are hand marked, instead of computer)

*Wonders if Horusmaster left this assignment to the last minute*

Also, wow I hate autotester things for CS assignments. Students need to learn how to test their own code -_-
We had that for my C programming assignment. I was the only one in the class that got full marks in the first autotester run (So basically I never needed to use the auto tester). Reason: Because I was the only one that actually bothered to test my code rather than letting the autotester do all the work for me.
