Look at this and tell me that you wouldn't run screaming if someone asked you to repair that.
Also, the way smoke is clogging up that fan, I'm thinking that smoking around a computer is a decent reason to void your warranty. Like using your phone in the rain. The harm came to the unit through your own negligence...

If it turns out that she has cheated, i.e. born a boy and had an operation then the fuss is justified
Actually, that's not cheating. If you've had an MTF operation and have been on hormones for > 2 years, you're allowed to compete in the women's section. The rules say so, for the very good reason that the hormones make your muscles go away. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/aug/21/semenya-gender-discrimination
Submission + - Null-prefix SSL Attacks Now In The Wild
An anonymous reader writes: Moxie Marlinspike, who recently published new attacks on SSL at Defcon 17, seems to have released the new version of sslsniff which supports these attacks. While the release appears to coincide with a patch from Mozilla, every product that uses the Microsoft CryptoAPI is still vulnerable, including Internet Explorer and Outlook. The new version of sslsniff also supports built-in modes for hijacking software auto-updates that depend on SSL, and apparently includes techniques for defeating OCSP as well — making the elimination of existing null-prefix certificates difficult.
