See 4.5 4.5) Revolvers, cyanide and high voltages: The pros and cons of various luser education strategies. There has been a great deal of debate on a.s.r about the best way of dealing with lusers, and at this time no consensus has been reached. What we can suggest, however, is to be sure it is painful, clean, and doesn't harm the computer. That unfortunately leaves a lot of options out; you can't just throw a grenade at them; it will hurt the machine.

They do nothing all day but read news from lamers named things like beable, who ask about getting their passwords to echo for the benefit of any random shoulder-surfers! Take my user, for instance. Starving graduate student. Computer geek (and I mean that in the most charitable... neh, I don't, really) who needs to get a life in the worst way. One would expect him to be hacking away like a busy little beaver, wouldn't one? Instead, what is he doing? He's playing with the BSD Star Trek program he's found in /usr/games. And don't get me started about all the emails he sends out about how all new Trek is lacking in Spock Factor, hence worse than useless. Sigh.

Uhh, Donald so far I've been agreeing with everything that you're saying, but alt.religion.kibology was a group invented by systems administrators to secretly control and monitor the net. This is in the new users FAQ that they send you. If you check it out you'll see this guy kibo controls his own system and greps every word on Usenet to see if the post should be canceled.

Or is this just an excuse to make us pay for a whole bunch of new welfare bums? I've heard about those English, they're always on the dole which would be ok if it was Bob Dole but they mean something else (like welfare) which shows how they're taking our language and corrupting it. I think we should deport them so that honest Americans would have a place to build vacation homes.

Clinton only lied about boinking the staff. Clark lies about the economy, jobs, and just about anything else he can score points from. The U.S. economy is booming, ours is going down the toilet. Probably the only think keeping Kenneth Starr down there is that the media coverage is better. -- cgibbs@sky.bus.com (Charlie Gibbs) Remove the first period after the "at" sign to reply. ###### In-reply-to: "Juergen Nieveler"'s message of Thu, 10 Dec 1998 19:39:08 +0100 Newsgroups: alt.religion.kibology,alt.folklore.computers,alt.folklore.computer Subject: Re: Computers are so STY00PID!!!

This newsgroup is in the alt. hierarchy. alt., like the comp., misc., sci., soc., and rec., hierarchies, belong to the whole Internet. A newsgroup like nyc.general is American - and, in fact, there is a us. hierarchy, consisting of (on my server) us.arts, us.config, us.events, us.events.ok-explosion, us.forsale, us.forsale.computers, us.jobs, us.jobs.contract, us.jobs.offered, us.legal, us.marketplace, us.marketplace.computers, us.marketplace.computers.hardware, us.marketplace.computers.software, us.marketplace.other, us.military, us.military.army, us.misc, us.misc.family-radio, us.politics, us.rec, us.rec.scouting, us.taxes as well as a number of us.sc. groups - South Carolina has put its regional groups within the us. hierarchy, unlike other cities and states with their own hierarchies. However, even US regional newsgroups like the above are still 'International' in the sense that their postings show up on servers worldwide, thus in connection with posting one's password, even posting it on, say, umich.forsale (intended for the use of students and staff of the University of Michigan) amounts to blabbing it to the whole world.

He obviously has security problems where he has the internet and needs to find a path to the way where he can not have these problems. We sysadmin should be trying to help her out and explain how he can be going about internet without fearing. I'm sure the UN would not approve of the sysadmin on their usenet picking on users with the problems. So Mr. Eable, here I am to help with your problem. Are you using internet in a computer lab at a fine University maybe? Or in a secret place like the home, or in a cluster at your working place with your cow-orkers nearby? Your ****** password is not very safe as everyone will be seeing you type it in if it is at a pubic place where people are always giving the roaming eyes. I think you should try a combination of words with the UPPER case and the lower case of fonts and mix in some numbers for trickyness. Personally, I have a favorite time of day when I think math is more powerful and I once used that time of day in all my secret passwords. I am hoping that you find this useful. -Haon ps: i am still learning english so if any of this does not make sense please email me and i will try to make a fix. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ###### From: "Donald Tees" Newsgroups: alt.religion.kibology,alt.folklore.computers Subject: Re: Computers are so STY00PID!!!

A lot of people explained to me in the mail that the US wasn't taking over England and Canada, but they were taking over us (look how they steal our stuff like Macdonalds). And anyway this whole Y2k thing was a plot by Bill Gates (who is controlled by aliens) to get us to use the calender invented during the French Revolution (which was run by commies.) Anyway Donald a lot of people are less ignorant than you think so don't despair. For example my friend Mr. Eable is working on a way to make Usenet posts so nobody can understand them. That way the UN (which is really a modern development of the evil knights templar) won't be able to monitor us. ###### From: "Donald Tees" Newsgroups: alt.religion.kibology,alt.folklore.computers Subject: Re: Computers are so STY00PID!!!
