 really if you have a priceless artifact that you don't want found, the

 also the way diamonds are transported around Hatton Garden (i.e. in 
 people's pockets, not in securicor vans).

And if you have a rouge stone worth 1500 gold you shouldn't put it in a
chicken while a shady guy is watching, since said shady guy might tell some
feisty adventurers about it for a small fee. Especially if you live in Umar
Hills.

 Does this count as the end of [Net?]BSD's $years of having no exploits?  

OpenBSD still claims 4 years without a remote hole in the default install.

ISTR they had a couple of years without a local hole too, but that they
found some other hole a less than a year ago so it was reset quite recently
anyway. But I might just have hallucinated that.

 Had I been able to locate my copy you would have been more than welcome
 to borrow it it would appear mine's in storage. If I get a chance before
 Saturday I'll try and track it down.

Ah, good old piracy is theft analogy - what would we do without you?

I think I'll start reloading that russian site until I've stolen all

Seriously, I don't advocate copyright violation, but I much prefer it to

 The main problem is that the zipped file downloads as NameOfCGIFile.zip

I think you might like to have a look at the Content-Disposition MIME

Something like this:

print Content-type:application/x-zip-compressed\n .
  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file\n\n;

 I got a Perl and a Linux one just by asking ( there are loads on some
 orielly display in there ) and not even purchasing anything.

When I got there they said I had to buy 3 O'Reilly books. So I bought three
pocket references: mod_perl, Emacs and CVS.

 The trouble I find with precompiled mod_perl's is that they usually
 haven't beencompiled with EVERYTHING = 1, so they have to be compiled
 from scratch anyway when using AxKit.

Yes, I want one with EVERYTHING=1...
