Even easier still, don't install it in the first place.
When the updates finish downloading from Microsoft, choose custom install (instead of express) then untick the "Windows Genuine Advantage Notification" button, and continue - then choose "Do not alert me about unselected updates again" when a window pops up saying you're not installing everything.
I fully support Gary McKinnon for looking around piss-poorly secured military machines. I WORK for a military subcontractor, and they NEED a kick in the ass to get things right and get them secure.
If it takes someone to split their world in half and taunt their clueless admins, then so be it.
70 years in jail? Just give him a subcontractor job and get over your pride.
Not entirely convinced by his anti-gravity claims, but I'm fully convinced he can pwn the mil. It's not as hard as it sounds, believe me.
I'm sure that cyberdyne chip is working out well for them...
But what are they going to do with the arm? Juggling? Labyrinth-esque sphere stuff?
I kinda shudder to think...
The short story was "A Piece of Wood" by Ray Bradbury, in the book "Long After Midnight", just FYI.

Or then again, you could just zip/tar your files with wanging long filenames up in a bunch and extract them when the time comes.
Not like it's too much of an overhead these days.
Completely agree with your comment that even if you could advise your past self you'd just stumble over something else.
I'm sure the fair share of suitably bad things has happened to everyone, and even if you could tell yourself "This isn't going to work out.", or even "This going to go spectacularly wrong in ways you currently cannot even begin to imagine.", then the entire learning process would be bypassed in the same kind of way that reading something and _mechanically_ reading the words in something are different.
Bad things happen, and good things too. It's what we learn, and take from the entire experience that matters.
Guess each of us has to stumble down our own path to come out as better people on the other side. So here's to the ride.
I'd never looked at hacking/cracking challenges before, but the www.try2hack.nl one is a great introduction to it, and surprisingly addictive.
Thanks for the link, I think some geek fun is definitely no bad thing from time to time.
Now if only I could get past level 5... Time to monitor those temp files or find something to decompile visual basic exe's =) Or peek at memory usage in something like softICE. Tonight could be a long night... Cheers:)

Job's a good 'un.

Well I doubt anyone saw "kinda uplifting and well put" in the list of options.
Cheer up, goth.
