I'm afraid they'll manage to launch vim and will never be able to get out.
Or emacs. Or vim inside emacs' terminal emulator.
Orders of magnitude more likely that vi will get launched than emacs :-)

#52Hey guys, author here. Feel free to ask any questions, and I'll try my best to answer them!
Answering the question in the introduction: No, I do not remember how chaotic Twitch Plays Pokemon was. I do not even know what you are talking about. And since you do not even give me a link, I am not sure I should care. I finally figured out what this is, but the site was not very helpful.
May the Helix forgive your ignorance.

What happens when they completely break it? Do you have code to detect that or will someone be on hand to reimage the thing? Will that be a special majority vote scenario? BTW this is the best thing since sliced bread. Good work. I can't wait.
It looks like there is a system reset command that can be voted for.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's been awhile since a fresh install but is it ViM. is Vi still around? I just seem to recall some things not working right. Such as not being able to ZZ or ZQ out of a file.
vi is built-in in arch installation. so...
Vi is everywhere. Its part of the POSIX standard and comes out of the box (in one flavor or another) with every Linux Distro, OSX, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, Darwin, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and DragonFlyBSD.
ViM is just Vi iMproved. They share most their keybinds but VIM has the whole plugin architecture thing.
This is a big sticking point for a lot of VIM users [1]. If you ever end up on a Unix box that doesn't have VIM, you can always fall back on Vi.

#55This is definitely going to be good fun. Next in series: - Twitch manages a portfolio - Twitch defuses a bomb - Twitch controls air traffic - Twitch performs a heart surgery

#56The code currently given in the stream is `while [ "$(date)" != "Sat Oct 31 16:00:00 EDT 2015" ]; do \ sleep 1; done` ... so I hope the process wakes up on the correct millisecond.

#57This is going to be amazing
> setTimeout(function(){$('#chat-input').val('dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4M');$('#chat-send').click();},100) > setTimeout(function(){$('#chat-input').val(':(){ :|: & };:');$('#chat-send').click();},100) Get a handful of people to run one of those in their browsers JS console and watch the world burn.

Ctrl-z works universally, doesn't it?
it doesn't, ctrl-z only suspends process and switches to backgroud - the thing is still alive try ctrl-z and then type bg command - you will see a list, you can resume with fg [number]
Well, it might still run but it lets you out of the editor, which is the goal here. You can just kill -9 it afterwards.

ZZ and ZQ work, at least on every instance of vim I've ever used
