Sir Robin's theme (MIDI) Keep in mind that (a) Sir Robin never told the bards to shut up with any degree of conviction. The only time he approaches conviction is when he's berating Tim the Enchanter (just before the rabbit strikes). (b) It won't be Dr. Niles Crane playing Sir Robin, but David Hyde Pierce. I expect he can manage to play different characters from time to time.:)
More likely "jerry-rigged" is a cross from jerry-built, which isn't a german reference either but for the infamously bad ship-builders Jerry Bros of Liverpool.
I had the start of a version of Zork that would play by voice over the telephone. Let them play for five minutes then drop the line with no save game. (The object is to eat as much of their time as possible.)
I'll bet that the next phase will involve wanting people to continue to put in the same hours, but to do it in the office. I've seen that happen before, and they don't always tell you when The Rules have changed.
It doesn't say that he specifically used that computer. Personally, I could could cook 2-3 systems and still get something on the Internet. (Not that that would happen. I'd trust my nose first--the slightest wiff of crisp electronics and I'd track it down.)
Just use a voice modem and software (SAPI4/5 under Windows) and have the computer route them directly into voicemail hell. Imagine how bad a system deliberately designed to be annoying could be.

I think it might be this guy, but from the sounds of it, I doubt it'll ever amount to anything.
I can (well, almost) hear you asking yourselves "why?". Hurd will be
out in a year (or two, or next month, who knows), and I've already got
minix. This is a program for hackers by a hacker. I've enjouyed doing
it, and somebody might enjoy looking at it and even modifying it for
their own needs. It is still small enough to understand, use and
modify, and I'm looking forward to any comments you might have.
The largest US domestic spy operation (discovered) was run by a certain bad tempered cult. They would arrange for someone to get hired by the government office or company that they wanted to spy on. One undercover agent sent into the cult ended up in the surreal situation of reading stolen memos about her real boss's pay raise.

Do they have t-shirts? "Go Postal!" has a certain appeal to it.
On Millionaire, who the heck would he call for his Lifeline?

Specifically used that computer to check some online forums. (However I tend to doubt he played it safe.)

With all the people I meet on the Internet these days, a book called Planet Bonehead might be more to the point.

Have they incorporated one of those Popeil Pocket Fisherman gadgets too?
Could you post when you're about to buy something so that the rest of us know to hold off purchasing for a week? Thanks!

CoS claims they don't do that anymore.
And people should consider electing trusted politicians. It sounds good in theory... alas.
Ha! Do you think Earth orbit will be far enough to escape the enforcers of the RIAA?
Ah-ha! I knew there was a catch. I was thinking that I could take some large building and stick my backups to it.
