v. [Georgia Tech] A baggy pantsing is used to reprimand hackers who
|
|
|
|
|
incautiously leave their terminals unlocked. The affected user will come
|
|
|
|
|
back to find a post from them on internal newsgroups discussing exactly how
|
|
|
|
|
baggy their pants are, an accepted stand-in for unattentive user who left
|
|
|
|
|
their work unprotected in the clusters. A properly-done baggy pantsing is
|
|
|
|
|
highly mocking and humorous. It is considered bad form to post a baggy
|
|
|
|
|
pantsing to off-campus newsgroups or the more technical, serious groups. A
|
|
|
|
|
particularly nice baggy pantsing may be claimed by immediately quoting the
|
|
|
|
|
message in full, followed by your sig block ; this has the added benefit of
|
|
|
|
|
keeping the embarassed victim from being able to delete the post.
|
|
|
|
|
Interesting baggy-pantsings have been done involving adding commands to
|
|
|
|
|
login scripts to repost the message every time the unlucky user logs in;
|
|
|
|
|
Unix boxes on the residential network, when cracked, oftentimes have their
|
|
|
|
|
homepages replaced (after being politely backed-up to another file) with a
|
|
|
|
|
baggy-pants message;. plan files are also occasionally targeted. Usage:
|
|
|
|
|
Prof. Greenlee fell asleep in the Solaris cluster again; we baggy-pantsed
|
|
|
|
|
him to git.cc.class.2430.flame. Compare derf.
