How about reverse engineering the servers? We would have to start our own user database, but that means no more getting "the screenname you have requested is currently in use" because somebody has registerd it along with 20 other screennames they dont use anymore. The problem with a new server is finding the host. I'm not verry familure with the aim protocall, but even a few houndred users all refreshing there buddylists would eat up a few megs an hour. Just an idea....
i remember reading in a EGM magazine that you can get burn in removed from the screen by doing something inide the moniter,i also remember them saying that theres enuff volts in there to kill you, and to just pay a pro to do iti suggest going to an arcade and asking them how they get rid of burn in --Semi-----------------------

I wouldent say JUST as rootabe, as the standard RH7 install has about... 13 or so public exploits, as opposed to slaks 1 [suid perl, what my comment was about]. --Semi-----------------------

Wow, post before you go to bed and wake up and get like 10 replies:)
Slakware is just the most secure distribution I have found, as opposed to red hat witch my friend can root in about 4-5 seconds [I've timed him before].
Although you do make some good points, I still stick by what I say, as if you have a computer secure you have to disable something you use everyday [like xfree86]

You can easily secure ANY computer, unplug all cords from it, and hide it behind about 3 miles of concrete everyway, sure, you could not use it but no 'evil h4x0rs' will either.
What's my point?
The more secure a computer is, the less useable it is. Sure you can keep a computer from crashing as much by never using beta software, but where the fun in that? Have to use at least some bug ware sometime. You could also set it so you have NO ports open, but then you can't get on most irc networks because of no ident... so just stick with slak 7.1 with a chmod'd suid perl
