Wow, the last time I heard about conficker was a few years ago.  I don't see it as a major threat just yet.

As long as we can find a suitable screen that we can turn it off from.  If we can't find one like that, then the results of this poll are rather nulled anyway.

EDIT:
1711: you then look up at freyadays 'time spent online' stat and feel ashamed

1714: You then look at mine and feel even worse.

Well, glad to see it was resolved at least.  On the off chance that someone did ever hack us, we could use our combined calculator power to DDOS them!

Glad to see that everything is okay now.

If you have ever used linux, you most likely have run into the problem of a user account not being in the sudoers file.  The strange thing is that it says that it hsa been reported.  Scary, right?  But when it's on your own server, who on earth is it reported to?  I thought it was just some warning or whatever having the same effect as a "keep out" sign.  Well, guess what.  I was wrong.

I was attempting to set up a mail server to be able to automate a few things simply by emailing the server.  For example, downloading a video where the site that hosts the video is blocked.  I created an account called fmaster in order to try the mail server.  Well, I messed up in the creation of the account, and apparently didn't give the account sudo privileges.  No big deal, right, I just switch back over to the main account that has sudo privileges and that's that.  Of course, the only reason that I knew fmaster didn't have sudo powers was because it complained and told me I wasn't a sudoer, and it was being reported.  Okay, whatever, no big deal, right?

So I check where the mailbox is and notice it is at /var/mail/fmaster.  So I just cd over into /var/mail/ and see two different files.  fmaster and nobody. I was surprised because nobody had an account called "nobody".  So I used "sudo cat nobody" to list the contents of the file.  I found that it was a message sent automatically from the root account saying that fmaster didn't have sudo access, the command it was trying to run, and other useful tidbits of information.

So now you know, boys and girls.  When you aren't a sudoer, and it says you have been reported, it reports it to nobody!!!

I'm sad to see it has come to this again.

Can you post what you were trying to do with the Text command?  Most likely something to do with Pic1T, correct?

This is also useful if you are trying to test some encryption program, or a game that uses random values, and you want them to be the same each test in case you are testing a specific bug and you don't know if it's related to the random number generator (RNG) or your code.
