Content digital VAX 11/780 The Ticketmaster system is a hodge-podge of C and assembler and runs on ancient VMS hardware. The people who developed and maintained it are long since dead and/or retired. It has proven impossible to replace because nothing has been found that can handle thousands of simultaneous purchases as efficiently. The server room that houses the VMS machines has a room where a goat is left every two weeks. The next day, the goat is gone.

Ah, nothing says "I understand computers" like running rm -rf on localhost. For the uninitiated, 127.0.0.1 is your own machine's IP address. So our protagonist here is essentially running a dangerous delete command on his own system while pretending it's some kind of virus scan. The rm -rf command is the digital equivalent of pouring gasoline on your house and lighting a match. The "-rf" flags make it recursive and force-delete without asking questions. Basically the nuclear option of file deletion. Someone should probably tell him that running traceroute on an imaginary virus is like trying to find your car keys by following a rainbow.
