Since Fork is no good for Windows and i currently want to dumbforce
something. I don't have network connectivity to most of the hosts I'm
pooling, so I may have to go and use live CD's and use Fork after all, but
in linux. I am using node like the example, but I'm not sure it will work
on external modes as well as fork would.
