Gandalf replies to him with some comment like "The Ring serves only one master, not two." He understands that Saruman's ultimate goal is to gain the Ring for himself, and refuses to help.

It is a pretty terrible change though.

Someone finally cracked the "unhackable box" by exploiting a hole in Lasso (a cgi interface to Filemaker, I think) - and somehow changed the content that way. The bug was quickly fixed, and I haven't heard of any contests since.
