It's almost like the place you work wants to make sure you actually work. Crazy, that...

which is kinda silly because they encourage me to waste time on the internet since my job is uber boring.

Flirt with the IT guys. Get them to give you admin rights, if possible, and create multiple backdoors so you can reenable your admin rights after they get closed down (and they will,) or just have them install AIM for you.

What version of Windows are you running? I'll see if I can dig up any backdoors built into the OS.

three problems there Sal.

1) the tech guys are downtown and we aren't.
2) my boss is another person who can give me admin rights and she's old enough to be my mother. *CRINGE* no thanks.
3) corporate frowns on having 'unecessary' programs installed, which is anything except for Netscape 4.7, Windows NT, Office 97 and Adobe Acrobat 4.0. whenever I call in for tech support, they always peek into my hard drive to see what's installed and delete what isn't necessary.

good luck with the backdoors. btw, I run on WinNT Workstation

You're fucked. Sorry. WinNT has been out long enough that all of the easily accessed security loopholes have been closed.

yeah, I know. *sigh* I keep pressuring the boss to pressure corporate to let us upgrade to 2000 as well as upgrade our browser. he wants to, but it doesn't look like corporate will budge. it's major screwsville.

I appreciate ya'll wanting to help though!!

Pink Cookies to all!

Not closed; hidden. Security through obscurity. Passwords are still not encrypted, and as far as I know The L0pht still has a working version of Back Orrifice available, though I might be mistaken.

Well, shit, if Bulldrek PM works but Daki won't reply to them, it seems that the problem isn't technological.

Well, for one thing I rarely ever look to see if I have PM's on Bulldrek because it is so rare when I get them. And for another thing, I'm usually posting from work and distracted so I don't even notice when it says I do have a message.
