Somehow I get the feeling that CIAC is trying to tell me something --

I guess we've been laying it pretty heavy on the symlinks.  Sorry.  We'll
apologize by skipping the symlink problem we were going to do this week
and putting in something unrelated.

Of course, now that our Lord & Master aleph1 has released a whole buncha
good buffer-overflow stuff to Phrack, we figure now is a good time to
follow that lead.  /usr/diag/bin/mstm and cstm share the same stuffs in
that regard, and they can both lead the unworthy to a higher purpose.

So come on over to http://command.com.inter.net/~sod/ and start filling
up those buffers with code that only a machine could love.  They're sure
to love you back sooner or later.

One bug a week, just passing two months, full of piss and vinegar.

God bless.


SPECIAL INVITATION TO OUR FRIENDS AT HP:

Vroom, vroom.

What can I say other than it's been an interesting week.  Yup, that's been
the word for it so far: interesting.  In fact, I don't think I can really
say any more than that right now.

Oh, except I'm supposed to say "Hi" to Frank? and Patty in Tele-
communications/TND, and another "Hello" to the person who only responds
to the title "Technical Lead".

Oh, and I'd like to pledge my unending love to Janeane Garofalo, and I'd
like to say a really big "Woof" to my dog Spot.

Oh, and I should add that the quickest and easiest method of shutting us
down is by paying us and not paying your lawyers.

Oh, one more thing, sex may very well be an acceptable alternative to green
cash money if you want us to shut up, but breast size will probably become
a consideration at that point.

Oh, and always remember, I love you.
