yeah I remember doing that, I edited the
file that says "it is now safe to turn off your
computer, so PUT ME BACK IN LINUX!"
It was an image file so I just used an
image editor and put in extra text hehe.
I thought since the apps can tell the machine
what to do, they can also be told to tell a
decompiler or dis-assembler what to do,
therefore producing the logical commands
to be interpreted by the software into
human-readable lines of code or at least into
cpu instructions that can then be interpreted
by some other software.
