OK I found this while i was bored googling. I want to know do they still work? My common sense tells me they should be fixed now cause the article date is in 2002...
But still I'd like some response

Well they're not bugs to "fix", just tricks you can play. Well, possibly with the exception of the infinite forking program (#9), I'm surprised you can bring down an entire system with that.

heheh, some of those are pretty cool... (for one thing, i didn't even know i had a C++ compiler on this thing! nice. it showed me that.) The screenshot thing is pretty funny too, although I don't know why the "victim" could possibly want to use the "xhost +" thing in the first place. Either way, I'm happy to discover a few more tools. Cool.
