Handbrake is sweet encoding videos to iPhone. It's absolutely flying.

What else?

that will make the CPU work but OP won't see it "flying" And that's what he wants I guess.

$ python

EDIT: umm, yeah don't try this at home. Just fresh from a hard restart. I know, I'm studying OS Internals in my final year at uni and I knew this would happen. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, and I wish I left top/activity monitor open before I ran it.

What's the one that would (doesn't work anymore) recurse on itself forever? You would express it in a single line and about 20 characters?

Side: why does this seg fault?

void die();

int main() {
	die();
}

void die() {die();die();}
