1/10    Lenscrafters sucks. Any recommendations for places to buy
        frames and lenses? Berkeley or downtown SF.
        \_ Costco is pretty cheap.
        \_ I like Dr. Harlan Wong, but he ain't cheap. -ausman
        \_ Focal Point Opticians, Ashby ave in Berkeley.
        \_ Dr. Stephen Chun, Berkeley Optometric Group, Shattack & Haste.

1/10    FYI: for those of you running linux boxes with a lot of remote users:
        boxes aregetting rooted right and left beause of this "dobrk" bug.
        the crackers are using snifferes and webs of trust to really increase
        the scope of the breakins, so it's probably worth trimming back the
        remote access as much as you can and worth applying either the patch
        to the running kernel or upgrade. this is going to cost some people a
        lot of money. --psb
        \_ anyone with such a system who hasn't upgraded by now deserves
           to get hacked.
           \- well my point is that local exploits come out "everyday".
              this one really matters. some of us are forced to use
              linux and have other things to do than installing RPMs.
              a lot of people i know are also delaying fixing linux boxes
              as they are waiting to deal with RH licensing issues. this
              is really risky in university type environments right now.--psb
           \_ no.  the real answer is anyone who runs such a shitty OS and
              allows public access to it guarantees they'll get hacked.  any
              system, such as linux or windows, that requires such an intense
              level of handholding babying isn't ready for prime time in a
              hostile environment and especially not on the public net.
              \_ you forgot to sarcastically use "37337 5pEEk" and to imply
                 that all Linux users are 12.
        \_ I got hit by this over Thanksgiving and it was a pain. Some
           dumb kid leaves his Linux box open on campus, the hacker uses
           ettercap to get some passwords, a professor connects remotely
           to my site and it is downhill from there. Damage wasn't bad for
           me, but do go get the latest kernel and stop running SSH 1.0.
           The latest kernel fixes mremap() also.

1/10    What's a good way to find a cheap place to do smog check in S Cal?

              makes for interesting watching.

           \_ Was Clark a part of the philadelphia experiment?
              \_ That was the Navy, son.
                 \_ Oh yeah.  Forgot.  Did the army have its own time machine
                    and invisibility program?

                       \_ They should just huck some nukes out the bad guy's

                          the whole "send 4 people out to go stir up shit"
                          thing.  It's very non-military culture.
                          \_ Yeah, but while the nuke option is much more
                             reasonable, it doesn't make for a good serial.
              \_ No but he said he thinks we can travel faster than the
                 speed of light.
                 \_ I can!  I hold my breath and spin and spin and spin and
                    tap my ruby slippers three times and I'm back in Arkansas!
