Can you ride a bike/walk to work?
Buy some roller blades. Get some small dumbbells and lift them at home. Get some good shoes and start walking/jogging.
Does your office have a laser printer, or networked copier? Print the stuff out. You might luck out and find a binding machine while you're at it.

Though I hate reading online documentation (I wear glasses and cannot stare at text on the screen for a long time), I have forced myself to read a lot more online documentation over the past year. This is one instance where I would be willing to shell out the $61.95 Canadian for a book.
Expert Recipes to Bolster Security O'Reilly Releases "Linux Security Cookbook"
Sebastopol, CA--Recipes for security? The mere suggestion would raise a few skeptical eyebrows among security experts. For computer security is not a simple matter; it is, rather, an ongoing process, a relentless contest between system administrators and intruders. A good administrator needs to stay one step ahead of any adversaries, which often involves a continuing process of education. But if you're well grounded in the basics of security, you won't necessarily want a complete treatise on the subject each time you pick up a book. Sometimes you'll want to get straight to the point. That's exactly what the new "Linux Security Cookbook" by Daniel J. Barrett, Richard E. Silverman, and Robert G. Byrnes (O'Reilly, US $39.95) will help readers do. Rather than provide a total security solution for Linux computers, the authors present a series of easy-to-follow recipes--short, focused pieces of code that administrators can use to improve security and perform common tasks securely.
The "Linux Security Cookbook" is a repository of useful and important recipes to be used within a well thought-out security policy. "Security tools often have numerous options, configuration parameters, and so forth, requiring the reader to dig through documentation," notes coauthor Barrett. "The cookbook format provides a shortcut, presenting the precise syntax needed for common, important security tasks."
"The 'Linux Security Cookbook' is accessible, without being simplistic, which would be especially dangerous for security," adds Byrnes. "The effectiveness of a security solution is only as good as the weakest link.
"There's a vast literature dedicated to computer security, but that can be daunting for anyone who is trying to find a way to get started," Byrnes adds. "There are also a lot of products that purport to offer 'security in a box,' but those never work because you can't just set up a firewall or intrusion detection system and think that your security problems are over. We offer specific recipes that are useful as both standard operating procedure as well a learning tools, and we tell people how to learn more."
The "Linux Security Cookbook" includes real solutions to a wide range of targeted problems, such as sending encrypted email within Emacs, restricting access to network services at particular times of day, firewalling a web server, preventing IP spoofing, setting up key-based SSH authentication, and much more. With more than 150 ready-to-use scripts and configuration files, this unique book helps administrators secure their systems without having to look up specific syntax.
The book begins with recipes devised to establish a secure system, then moves on to secure day-to-day practices, and concludes with techniques to help a system stay secure.
Some of the recipes in the "Linux Security Cookbook" are:
-Controlling access to your system at various levels, from your firewall down to individual services, using iptables, ipchains, xinetd, inetd, and more -Monitoring your network with ethereal, dsniff, netstat, and other tools -Protecting network connections with SSH and SSL -Detecting intrusions with tripwire, snort, tcpdump, logwatch, and more -Securing authentication with cryptographic keys, Kerberos, and PAM, and authorizing root privileges with sudo -Encrypting files and email messages with GnuPG -Probing your own security with password crackers, nmap, and handy scripts
This cookbook's proven techniques are derived from hard-won experience. Whether readers are responsible for security on a home Linux system or for a large corporation, or somewhere in between, they'll find valuable, to-the-point, practical recipes for dealing with everyday security issues.
You can't print on anything other than 8-1/2x11 Certain colors look like crap The ink is wax. It will scratch off the page. The ink is wax. It will melt if you put it on copier glass, through a fax machine. It's not THAT fast of a printer. It eats ink blocks ($160/box per color)
We're done with ours after 3 years. We're leasing a giant Canaon color machine, for what we pay in ink alone for the Phaser. We then pay 3 cents per page or something. We'll make that up (easily) in jobs we previously sent to Kinko's.

GREETING
Hello Disney fans,
And thank you for signing up for Bill Gates' Beta Email Tracking
My name is Walt Disney Jr. Here at Disney we are working with
Microsoft which has just compiled an e-mail tracing program that
tracks everyone to whom this message is forwarded to. It does
this through an unique IP (Internet Protocol) address log book
database. We are experimenting with this and need your help.
Forward this to everyone > you know and if it reaches 13,000
people, 1,300 of the people on the list will receive $5,000, and
the rest will receive a free trip for two to Disney World for one
week during the summer of 1999 at our expense. Enjoy.
Note: Duplicate entries will not be counted. You will be notified
by email with further instructions once this email has reached
13,000 people.

You ever kick a balloon? Better yet, how about a light rubber ball like they sell at K Mart?
It's nothing like a baseball or even soccer ball, where you can send the thing flying a couple hundred feet.
You kick it, the thing probably hits 50mph, and the slows down very quickly. The curve of the thing is very steep. You can probably only kick one 30 or 40 feet.
Think of the foam as that ball. It loses momentum VERY fast.
Columbia rescue would have been difficult but feasible: investigators
Posted: Sat, May 24 8:33 AM ET (1233 GMT)
Harold Gehman, chairman of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB), confirmed Friday that it would have been possible to mount a rescue mission had the damage to Columbia's wing been known shortly after launch, although such a mission would have been very challenging. Florida Today first reported Wednesday that an internal NASA study, performed at the request of the CAIB, showed that it would have been possible to launch Atlantis -- which was being prepared for a March 1 launch -- on a rescue mission as early as February 9 or 10. Atlantis would have rendezvoused with Columbia, whose crew would have conserved supplies and power to stay alive. Atlantis's crew would have then carried out spacewalks to send supplies and extra spacesuits to Columbia, so that Columbia's crew could be transferred back to Atlantis for return to Earth. Gehman said that such a mission would have been extremely difficult and hazardous, particularly because of the danger of falling foam during launch damaging Atlantis as well. Gehman said it may have also been possible to repair the damage to Columbia by stuffing a bag of water in the hole in the wing, then covering it with teflon tape. Even though either option could have been too risky to carry out, their existence contradicts earlier claims by NASA officials that there was nothing they could have done to save the crew. Gehman said those rescue options make decision by NASA not to seek spy satellite images of the shuttle "even more ominous."
Right. Either this type of information is free and available, or the government locks everything down and we end up like half the other countries who treat their citizens as 'Sims'
I work at a construction/engineering firm, and this kind of information goes in and out of here every day. Someone could come in, pose as a soil grading estimator, walk out with a set of plans to anywhere in the state, and do any kind of terrorist act he or she wanted after that.
Is the government going to decide who can see what, and what they can see?

A number of companies sell cross-shredders. They are inexpensive, too.
I eat my shredded paper in a bowl with milk.
mmmm, fiber
He had one.
It just cost $5200
Google is mostly text. Pretty low bandwith if you ask me. Plus, it works great with Lynx.
RIAA speaks on $$ terms, only.
When I first boot 2K it takes 42MB. Close enough. Besides, RAM is like 2 cents a MB
"AOL recently made a deal with Microsoft to use IE in future AOL releases."
Honestly, don't they change this every AOL version?
I'm amazed at the amount of AOL users that do not know they can minimize AOL and use whatever browser they want. Wait, no I'm not.

Who is this guy kidding?
They could have used (basically an ICBM) a satellite launch rocket, put a supply shipment up there, and let them sit up there for a few weeks.
