There appears to have been a language-barrier problem. That was a
joke. I thought it was funny that we were soberly discussing the pros
and cons of different ways of beeping.

Anyway, the OP has by now more ways of producing beeping noises out of
his keyboard, serial port and speaker than he probably ever wanted, so
let's let the bikeshed discussion die, ok?

I assure you, I was in no way @$#%@%$#%^@. Although, if I were, I would
surely have been $}#)?}!^`, not @$#%@%$#%^@.

It could arguably be a "security hole" if any user can scare the
stuffing out of the sysadmin when he isn't expecting it. It could even
be a "remote root compromise", if you can extort the root password from
him in exchange for halting your attack on his auditory nerves :).

Please don't address people like this on public, technical mailing
lists. It's unprofessional and condescending.
