    Speaking of things that aren't finished...... ;-)

    Or is it?

    I haven't played through Minerva in awhile, but I remember it ending deep in the bowels of the map ro.... I mean the shaft... to be honest I have no idea where I was, but I remember it didn't have an ending, and it stopped in an airlock.

    Has there been more added? Is it done? yes? no? ETA? gimme gimme gimme! :-D

    I know these may seem like obvious questions, but the website is a little less than clear....

  10. not accepted != not considered on Disney Board Turns Down Comcast Takeover Bid · · Score: 4, Informative

    One interesting quote released by the board is that they will, '...carefully consider any legitimate proposal...' Does this mean that they did not believe Comcast's offer to be legitimate?"

    umm.. no. It means they didn't accept it. They still considered it. AFTER considering it, they decided not to accept it.

    Don't forget the different extensions.. it's not always a zip file:

    * filename="(message|body|document|doc|data|readme|t ext|test|file)\.(pif|exe|scr|zip|bat|cmd)"

    And I have no idea why /. changes it to "t ext".. you'll have to change it back

  15. Re:Procmail to the rescue on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 1


    actually.. just found a new bad file name... try this:

    * filename="(message|body|document|doc|data|readme|t ext|test|file)\.(pif|exe|scr|zip|bat|cmd)"

    You'll have to fix the "t ext"... I have no idea why /. is doing that.. anyone else know? it does it consistantly, even if I re-type the word to elliminate possible gremlin chars...

  17. Re:procmail recipe on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 1

    it just occurred to me that not everyone is setup for logging like I am...

    obviously $NL is a New Line variable setup in the procmailrc file.. should be fine to simply remove the line if you don't log.

    Also, I notice everyone else's promail recipes for this thing are just checking the attachment type... That's gonna give you all kinds of false positives. The "^AFAmSgBAA/2yaZosEAT0JegBAE" test in mine is a sample from the actual attachment. false positives will be very rare if at all.

    Btw - seems to work fine now that I've had some time to test it. Has caught quite a few and hasn't caught anything it wasn't supposed to.

    No guarantees - Haven't had much time to test it. Not the most efficient either (should probably check the file size first and rule out small messages first) but it should get the job done on most "average traffic" mail servers.
