Actually cross country skiing is better than running. . .
Although it would be nice to have some type of excersise that you could do while working I doubt it going to have much effect, and more importantly isn't going to significantly improve your quality of life.
Got to admit I am looking for some kind way (time, and lack of inertia) to get fitter, although I have the opposite problem, I used to weigh about 28lb (?? 2 stones) more than I do now, although back then I was working for the forestry, rebuilding an old stone house and studying kung fu, now I even get tired going up stairs which really comes as a shock.
There is a big problem with trying to post it anonymously though, if you already reported it to them then they have a good chance of guessing who grassed them off, and the chances are that even if you don't think you have signed any NDA or contract then they have some comeback, even if it only consists of a couple of burly blokes with stout sticks.
A lot would depend on what the client is, i.e. is it already publically released? how many testers are there? if there is a good chance that other people will have found the hole then you should be ok releasing it anonymously, otherwise . . .
And of course if it isn't already released then you can wait till it is and then report it, suspect they will learn a much more profound lesson that way.
contacts-and-concious? (and yeah I know I can't spell either:P)
arghh, I thought, haha no way do I have this, I hardly ever d/l install free software (on windows anyway), but a quick search later (just for fun ya know) and there it is/WINNT/system32/advert.dll
Not handled all that well, the system currently means that the company with the largest bank account is probably going to get the domain.
Check out the case of Chase Business Solutions vs Chase Manhatten Bank, they're losing the domain basically because they don't have the huge sums of money to see it through court, even though there is no way they should be able to lose. . .

I learned to program from magazines, I never took any CS classes after changing mode on the BBC thing (used to explode). does this mean I am doomed to fail, because I don't know the perfect algorithm for the problem, I learned from 'use what works', I learn all the time but is the fact that I have never studied CS & the math onvolved mean that I am now obsolete?

not really a big fan of it myself, but i suspect most of my problem with it is stupidity on my behalf. i.e., when i get the vat bill in i tend to go way overdrawn (another problem altogether
forget it, i don't like this place, too much intellect, too little soul

maybe movies being released by country and us first isn't so bad, i've never seen this and now probably never will (until it comes out free on satellite and i'm too drunk to know better - probably some time next week) after what everyone has sid aboutit.
hollywood will realise that scifi movies per se don't sell, good ones do.
just to turn this around a bit . . .
can anyone think of anything good to say about jon katz, personally i think he works as a concept, and hey people need an entry point, pity he seemed to have missed the brevity/wit class. the person coming up with the best answer can send me the o'rielly book of my choice btw so get your brain caps on!
If your private key is stolen then it's a matter of decrypting your password. Ever tried L0phtcrack?
this is why where possible (e.g. G?PGP etc) it is better to use passphrases mine are all at least 4 words +, with numbers and non \w chars, easier to remember as well.
and yeah i know, most people aren't going to do this . . .
means you are going to have to be damn sure about anyone you let near your pc as well (repair persons/tech support/consultants etc), it's a fairly trivial matter to put in a keyboard logger and they might just doing this job for a couple of weeks and then off to a nice mansion in the country. right now the greatest protection you have is that most of the stuff on your (private) pc just isn't worth the hassle.
and a higher level of security on the majority os will be essential, take for e.g. the trojan mentioned on a previous thread, now it just sends your ip and dun details, maybe the next version will just stay quiet for a day or 2 waiting for some real juice.
do we really need this? it makes things more conveniant, but how conveniant do we want life anyway, just imagine in the future when your most important descision is choosing baby's new chair, with inbuilt massage to prevent muscle atrophy and drip lines for food and caffeine.
NETSEC employees have since monitored an Internet chat room set up by the hackers as the vandals identified victimized computers, discussed strategies and boasted of their work.
``When he thinks all of those clients are sleeping, one of them is really active and watching them,'' Waskelis explained.
err so these h4x0rs can write vb trojans, get them onto 2000++ comps, but they don't understand the concept of lurking?? (2nd thoughts, maybe the client mentioned is meant to be the trojan)
love this though, from their site
Search the hard drive for a.exe file with a random seven to eight character name. The file typically installs itself in/Windows directory. , now that advice is better than the trojan (the next step is to:)) even if you ignore the number of exe files on most pcs and that win95 doesn't show all cap filenames by default (?)
anyway off to delete any 7/8 char exe files in my win dir to be on the safe side
oo just a thought, anyone here work developing firewalls/etc? want to contact them to get a copy of the file to study in order to block it
joe sixpack isn't going to lash out the dosh for thier recommended firewall i'd guess, also i guess if all they have are ip's/login etc it could be difficult to track individuls down, they should be notifying the isps though.
it would be except that the netsec report says that they are 'modified' irc servers, therefore probably running on machines owned or 0wn3d by the authors. getting these shut down would seem to be a start. netsec seem to know an awful lot about these servers though, like that they are modified & they have lists of the compromised systems as well... all a little strange.
need to find the irc servers and post the ips here, put them out of action quite nicely
I bet that's what the military said about the Viet Cong
could we quit with this argument already, ok the mighty us military lost against the viet cong, che guevara took cuba with 800(0) ? soldiers against a much larger (us funded) force.
but...
you are not vietnamese, you are not cuban, you haven't been fighting against foreign rule for generations, you don't live in a country with a poor infrastructure, you are not fighting a poorly trained, unused to death, avg. 19 year old, unfamilier with the territory, overextended force.
are you really going to send your kids out to greet the soldiers with a semtex vest?
id'e recommend investing in some serious NBC type weaponry if you want to stand a chance.
on the other hand fighting an urban guerilla war might work, lots of places to hide, hard for them to fight back, and easy to cause a lot of damage. either that or anonymous terrori^h^h^h^h^h^h^h freedom fighting a la senor unabomber.

this is actually to equalise the market a bit, for e.g. i sell web hosting, if i sell to a client in the eu i have to charge 17.5% extra in vat. if they buy from a us/non eu company there is no vat so the price is a lot cheaper already. not saying it all good though.

Though then again Vorbis would be a strange choice, unless this codec makes listening to the music akin to having your toinails ripped out.

" Interesting that Mr. Valenti makes all sorts of statements, but isn't actually aware of what's going on. "
If he was aware to any appreciatable degree, e.g. maybe to the level of a goldfish they wouldn't be bringing the case.
