			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of you may have seen the following post on the front page, or the about page, recently.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-317" title="hacked-post" src="http://neverobey.net/files/2010/01/hacked-post.jpg" alt="hacked-post" width="450" height="584" /></p>
<p>Our site was hacked, and we have had to restore the site to the way it was before the attack. Some of you may have trouble accessing the site. We’re not certain yet how long the hacker had access to the server’s database. But we believe they may be the reason some of you have had difficulty logging in. The hacker deleted random accounts and blogs. This may have been preceded by changing random user passwords. While the hacker could not have determined what your password was, it may have been overwritten with something else.  If you have any difficulty logging in, or have missing blog posts, please send an email directly to us at neverobey.net@gmail.com.</p>
<p>We have now put an increased focus on security to prevent future problems.</p>
<p>We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.</p>

Then they took the dollar coins straight to the bank and deposited them, paying off the credit card bills before any interest was incurred. The only cost was gas for the bank-runs. The Mint has tried to put a stop to it.</p>
<p>I love hanging out in airmile hacker forums &#8212; these folks are insane. My favorite is the British Airways &#8220;Lisbon Loop.&#8221; BA wants to court continental passengers, so trips overseas that originate from continental Europe are <em>much</em> cheaper. BA flight hackers claim that they buy a BA ticket that goes Lisbon-London-NYC-London-Lisbon, and a one-way cheap EasyJet ticket to Lisbon so they can board it. On the way home, they just get off in London, saving a bundle (you can&#8217;t skip the Lisbon-London leg, or BA will cancel your tickets).</p>
<p>Another exploit for BA&#8217;s desire to woo continental passengers is for Brits to register a PO Box in France and use that as their address for the BA frequent flier club. People who live in continental Europe level up to perks <em>much</em> faster than people in live in Britain. For the cost of an annual PO Box, you can save thousands of pounds on getting into the lounge and getting free massages, meals, etc.</p>
<blockquote><p>One FlyerTalker, identified by his online moniker, Mr. Pickles, claims to have bought $800,000 in coins. He posted pictures of the loot on FlyerTalk. He says his largest single deposit was $70,000 in $1 coins. He used several banks and numerous credit cards. He earned enough miles to put him over two million total at AMR Corp.&#8217;s American Airlines, giving him lifetime platinum-elite status &#8212; early availability of upgrades for life and other perks on American and its partners around the world. He also pumped miles into his account at UAL Corp.&#8217;s United Airlines and points into his Starwood Preferred Guest program account.</p></blockquote>

<p>David sez,   &#8220;Almost two years ago, I came up with a <a href="http://www.ironicsans.com/2008/03/idea_the_bulbdial_clock.html">concept</a> for a &#8216;Bulbdial&#8217; clock. Instead of physical hands, it has three shadows cast by a series of rotating lights indicating hours, seconds, and minutes. Nine months ago, Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories developed <a href="http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/bulbdial">a working model</a> using three rings of LEDs. Now Bulbdial Clocks are available as a kit from EMSL. They did the hard work on this, coming up with a cool Mantel Clock implementation in various styles. You can get one at their site <a href="http://evilmadscience.com/tinykitlist/156">here</a>.&#8221;</p>
