    *DING*

    Oh dear, Nige is about to be reverse-Niged :-D

    Better change your password ASA*F*P or email EBay support and get them to
    freeze your account (and PayPal as they're linked even if you do have a
    different password for each)


    YTC!

    I don't actually need to log in. On the rare occasions that I follow
    one of these ebay links I get a very nice welcome message "Hello, Neal
    (nealchampion). "

    **** me, that's scary. Quite hard to stop too, as the perpetrator must have
    a large reservoir of hacked ebay accounts that he can use. I reckon it could
    easily catch someone who wanted to put something on their watched items
    list. I can think of many times when I have been browsing ebay, seen
    something that I was interested in and clicked on the "watch this item"
    icon. If I hadn't already logged in then the next step would be a login
    request. As there is no financial aspect to watching an item I must confess
    that I haven't always checked the adress of the ebay page that sent me to
    the login. I certainly will now.

    I got an email from Ebay at quarter to 5 saying thanks for the report.

    You don't need a hacked account to do it. Just copy a current listing
    under a new or sacrificial account.

    I could set up a similar scam in about 15 minutes.

    Yebbut zero feedback would make people more suspicious. A hacked account
    with lots of apparently good feedback would work better.

    Na, all you'd need to do is link the user profile from your fake page
    to a real user profile with decent feedback who sold a similar item.

  16. Accented e - alt+130. I think usenet is pretty much utf-8 now.

    This is linux, but I have dago keyboards. Lucky I don't have much need
    for a pound key.
    Just use utf-8 and let the others catch up when the bickering stops. It
    will stop, and utf-8 will prevail.

    Yes yes, you keep saying that. However, yours are the only posts where
    accented characters get screwed up. It's... strange.
    What version of Linux are you using? On my Ubuntu system I ended up
    creating a keymap for all the accented characters that I use when typing
    in Spanish, plus some others as well. I can send you a copy if it'll be
    compatible.

    man locale.

    Set to something utf8-ish and Robert may well be your mothers brother. If
    of course, you are lucky, the wind is blowing in the right direction,your
    distro doesn't have a screwed up console-setup package rendering your
    other keyboard layouts inaccessible.

    The trauma I went through getting both an English keyboard and a Turkish
    one working only to have keyboard support shifted from the x-server
    package to another mystery package. With no warning other than shit just
    not working anymore.

    Good luck on your mission.

  20. http://paulc.es/prefs.png - is that wrong then? Most people seem to see
    my accented chars ok. Obviously, they get used a lot in the dago groups.
