7/8     Behind a big firewall at work.  All they got is a http proxy and
        socks5 proxy.  I would like to get some of other things to work
        (such as AIM, ICQ, real streaming).  Any pointers on how to go about
        this?  thanks

        \_ There are various toys you can install that will create <your
           protocol here> links through the company firewall/proxy.  However,
           you will show up in the proxy logs as either a connection that is
           open for however many hours you're connected through your proxy toy
           or as a zillion connects that open/close on a short cycle.  either
           way this will get you a warning, at a minimum, at any place that
           takes security seriously.  I haven't been the fw admin for a few
           years but even then it was trivial to see who was trying to violate
           policy with a quick glance at the logs.  Is your career worth it?
           Maybe you should just ask for better access?  The admins have it,
           I'm sure.
        \_ Mindterm from Appgate lets you open an ssh tunnel over SSL.
           There are also loads of perl ssh tunnel type scripts around that
           allow port forwarding.  For proxies with timeouts, use an xclock
           or random character generator every x seconds.  And cover your
           ass, above poster is correct, this is trivial to spot if someone
           bothers to check, although in large outfits a ton of random shit
           goes outbound over HTTP ports.  Don't forget to fix your http user
           agent info.  -John
        \_ socksify openssh -D 1080 and run everything through that
        \_ Thanks all.  I am merely trying to use AIM and ICQ (instead of
           MSN, which the company embrace).  These info will get me started.

5/18    On my Win7 machine, I've been using a PuTTY ssh session to soda as a
        proxy for my FireFox to bypass my company's OpenDNS when I visit
        http://tv.yahoo.com and so on.  It has been working fine for a long while.
        However, in the past couple weeks or so, my FireFox would either take
        several minutes to load the page, or failes to load it after several
        minutes.  I haven't changed any settings on my Win7 machine.  Rebooting

3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?

           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,

11/4    Holy cow, I got a warning from my ISP that they were notified
        by BSA/baytsp.com that I was copying music/video/software.
        Do they do port scan or something? That's a first for me.
        \_ They hang out on P2P networks and track IP addresses.  -tom

10/1    I am thinking of installing firefox on soda under my home directory.
        Will this make me a hozer?
        \_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
           I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
           anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
           but our login server is not.
