:The Joys of Trashing: 
 Rue-the-Day 

Prologue: 
	Rue-the-Day and Cronus, your intrepid DoJ editors, 
caught momentarily in a van's headlights as they try to blend 
into the shadows. The van is 'Group 4 Security' - private rent 
a cop types. Rue-the-Day and Cronus are standing in the darkness 
between two Microsoft buildings. The van's driver fails to 
notice them and continues on his rounds. The two hackers breathe 
a sigh of relief and start back towards the main road.... 

Onwards: 
	That night had already been eventful. Earlier on we had 
prowled around two other Microsoft 'campus' areas. The first 
had been dull, lots of CCTV cameras and bins padlocked into 
cages. The second area had been of greater interest. Myself 
and Cronus had noticed a row of bins and a dumpster in a 
parking lot beside a building. We peered into the dumpster 
and found nothing much until I noticed that one of the bins 
was labelled "Paper Waste Only".. Hehehe. We took the lid off 
the bin and started going through the blue tinted bags for 
documents of interest. This activity had us absorbed until 
we heard a key turning in a door behind us. As we turned we 
saw a guard trying to get the door of a nearby building open. 
After some fumbling he succeeded and the appropriate thing to  
do seemed to be to run like bloody hell. I squeezed through the  
gap between the dumpster and bin and tried to run. The problem  
was, I wasn't moving - my backpack was stuck. 
	Cronus was understandably concerned - he was in the path 
of the rapidly approaching (pissed off looking) security guard.  
He punched my backpack through the gap and we both sprinted off  
carrying bags of Microsoft documents with us. We ran out into  
traffic, over a large mound of dirt and across a patch of  
wasteland before finally stopping. At the bottom of this file 
are some interesting extracts from our find... 

Advice: 
	Some general things to keep in mind. Try your best to be 
 selective when trashing, discard unnecessary stuff - it'll just 
 weigh you down. Choosing to trash either by day or night both 
 have inherent advantages and disadvantages.
