If it results in shiny new laptops, I'm all for it. ;-)

What about a binary blob that, when executed, prints out the C source code
that was used to compile it? ;)

Attention: Friend
Request for Business Partnership
I am a Sunni Arab and a member of a strategic committee in a major
industry in Iraq; I write to seek your partnership in a lucrative oil
business. My ideal partner should be trustworthy, reliable and have the
ability to operate a business in a western nation. You will not be
required to travel to Iraq or to leave your country.
I seek your partnership because of an urgent need to move my family out of
Iraq due to the deteriorating security situation and the strong prospect
of a civil war when the U.S. finally pulls our their troops.
To indicate your interest or request more details, please contact me by
email:
almalik2000@ gmail.com
Thank you,
Hakim al-Malik
