10/12   I spent five hours on the bowl, crapping so hard that my ass blood
        splattered all over the bathroom wall.

       Password Thief Ransacks AOL
       3:00 a.m. Password-stealing emails slip into AOL accounts and make off
       with user passwords by the thousands, according to the email service
       used to launch the attacks. Critics says it's the latest in a pattern
       of neglect by AOL. By Chris Oakes.

10/13   Anybody know of a free proxy server out there?  I just need something
        very very simple no fancy features. Thanks.
        \_ natd. much more transparent than using a proxy server.
        \_ wingate or winroute.
        \_ What type of Proxy?  HTTP only?  If so, Squid, Apache, & CERN
                (listed in order of proxy-studliness - don't bother with CERN
                 anymore - apache's overkill for just a proxy, squid kicks ass)
          \_ squid kicks its own ass. The only reason it stays up
             is because the start script is basically
             '  while true; do  squid ; done'
                \_ is Squid GNU software?  I couldn't find it on the gnu sites.
                    where can I find it?  Thanks.

       \_ Thank you Wired News!
       \_ "Password-stealing emails"?  Is this social engineering, or some
          K-RAD N3W PASSWURD ST3AL1NG HACK1NG V1RUZ????/???
        \_ Standard "click on idiot.exe" in html email to send your password
           to random account bullshit.  The only fault AOL has is having a
           browser available to it's customers that allows them to run an
           .EXE from a hyper link.

10/13   Using purely free solutions, is MacNFS + Samba on a UNIX server
        the best way to share files on a heterogenous network?
        \_ I use netatalk+asun patches (free), which supports mac's afs
            over tcp, so you dont' have to install nfs clients on your
              macs, and you dont' have to run appletalk on your network.
               Works great for me.

10/13   12"active Laptop.266 Cyrix CTX.32Mb ram.2 mb video.
        $1200 is this a good deal? has anyone had problems using linux or
        freeBSD on one of these machines (i.e.wht's not supported?) - paolo
        \_ depends on the brand name.  Also, I think you have no warranty
           you can get new clones for that much - you must check the video
           chipset and cross-ref with the X Window system you'll be using
        \_ 1200 for a this is terrible.  -jor
        \_ For 1200, I can get you 3 of these *and* some good swamp land.
           This is total robbery.  Do *not* do this.  Go look at *new* prices
           for the same laptop.

10/13   Let's say that I work at company X, and it offers excellent health
        plan for my family. My son is weak and requires a lot of
        medical attention, and without company X's health insurance, we
        would not survive. Now, if I switch to company Y, how does the
        transfer of insurance work?
        \_ It doesn't.  The insurance from company X expires.  YOu need to
           use insurance from company Y to pay your son's future medical
           expenses.
                \_ Learn about COBRA.
                   \_ COBRA doesn't last forever.  This guy needs a stable
                      corporate job with a suit where no one gets fired and
                      no one goes out of business.
        \_ cobra will be available at X's cost plus a tiny amount for
        18 months, in general.

10/13  So, say i want to ssh to another site that allows it.  How do i do
        it? "ssh http://siteName.com" returns the error that the host key is not
        found and asks me over and over if i want to keep connecting.
        \_ say yes you idiot.
           \_ Well, I'll be damned. that WORKED!  (o.k., o.k., in defense
              of my idiocy, when was the last time you had to type in
              "yes" to answer a computer's yes-no question? I typed 'y'
              for fuck's sake.  I even tried 'Y' just in case.  But the
              IDEA of typing 'yes' never even entered my mind.
                \_ Obviously you are not an emacs user.  You therefore
                        don't deserve to be able to ssh.
           \_ If Cal gave you a degree, give it back.  If not yet, drop
              out and go to Stanford.

10/13  Hey, dipwad with the brain-dead editor:
        you're not intelligent enough to edit the motd. so stop now.
        \_ Which braindead editor was that?  emacs, vi, jove, pico, or what
           *I* use to edit the motd: MS Word 2000 over the net?
           \_ That's the one! -mogul
