2) Some McDonald's don't want patrons staying for more than a half hour (case in point, McDonald's in the North Side of Pittsburgh). Would that policy be changed if you get an hour of access with an Extra Value Meal?
The policy in most metropolitan McD's is this: Overstay your half hour => Be fed to the Grimace
A going concern here is that the trolls may subscribe for the almighty first post privilege. Lets take your idea to its logical extent for funny karma whoring:
I got egg on my face when I took my laptop with shiny new wireless nic to H2K2 last summer. They had a NOC with both wired and 802.11b networks where I met up with some PSU alums.
Within a matter of minutes, my laptops caps/num lock lights flashed and the machine shut down. Turns out that sendmail (which I left on like a dumbass) was overflowed to a root console, where the leet script kiddy typed halt to shut off my laptop.
Wasn't an all-out attack, but a lesson learned. Now I'm much more consciencious about keeping rpms up to date and keeping unnecessary services from running.
I've read your column and a few of your books and enjoyed them all, but one thing has stood out in my mind: the rock band joke.
For those of you unfamiliar with his columns, there is almost always a line to the effect of "this would make a great name for a rock band" after an uncommon grouping of words.
Do you have a bet with your editor or agent on the amount of mail you'd get on this topic?
or will "dr_dank is a nitwit" be a good name for a rock band?
Every radio station in every city that's making any money is probably 9 times out of 10 part of ClearChannel's vast network (dare I say monopoly) of radio stations across the United States.
Got that right. From the day after Thanksgiving all the way to Christmas, many CC stations began playing an ALL CHRISTMAS MUSIC FORMAT this past year. If you think Britney Spears is obnoxious, try three different renditions of Jingle Bells in a 90 minute period.
I read your book and attended H2K2 last summer (I look forward to seeing you speak at the next one). I meant to ask this question to the Social Engineering panel:
Do you have any stories about Social Engineering gone awry? That is, a situation where the mark saw right through your ruse and you just couldn't pull it off.

So you mean to tell me that the Aliens didn't really get first post?

Try your local Microcenter. The one near me has quite a bit of shelf space dedicated to Linux. They also sell the Loki titles as well as Tuxracer.

Because it's wizard-based, and any monkey can do that... less chance of returned product
At the risk of going slightly o/t, I thought you'd find Jimmy Hoffa before you'd get an opened software product refunded at most stores.
