1/14    Called the csua office on Friday and was told that the machine is fixed
        and ready to go, but UC won't allow it back on the network because it's
        been rootkitted too many times. "someone who cares," you're doing more
        harm than good. If you want to help, go through the politburo; cowboy
        rootkits are not the way to go. --erikred

        \_ What you guys SHOULD really have done is run soda inside the VM
           so that it's much easier to contain and to duplicate. You can run
           multiple VMs on one machine. They even have educational discounts.
        \_ Uh, does that mean it will never be back up?  Can I have my fucking
           files back from my account?
        \_ As far as I know erik you either have wrong or deprecated
           information.  The machine is still in the process of being fixed and
           darch (the vp) has given an eta of "up on wednesday."  While I think
           the dept. is growing increasingly worried that we seem to get rooted
           a bunch, I haven't heard anything substantial as to our "not being
           allowed to bring it back online."  And I was AT the office yesterday
           and at the ensuing first politburo meeting. -mrauser
           \_ ...? Your being there certainly trumps my phone call. I'll make
              sure to get the name of the undergrad next time I call. And a
              Wednesday eta sounds great. Thank you for the update. --erikred
