A lot of email programs allow you to view the properties of a message. This gives you access to see first off, the IP address of the SMTP server which you received your message from, and secondly, the address of the person who sent it to that server.
If you can get the IP of the guy, I'm sure you can just do a lookup and find out who his ISP is, if you get lucky. Otherwise, just run a traceroute on it too.
Wait, wasn't there already a public execution that was broadcasted by some network over the web as opposed to on national television? I can't remember who it was who was killed, but it sounds awfully familiar.
Actually, coincidentally when their game servers would go down their webservers would crash as well. Maybe it was a router thing, but I kinda doubt it. Maybe their webservers are sleeping with the game servers I dunno.
Lots of great suggestions, I really appreciate the feedback I've gotten. As it stands right now, I have 2 years of actual working experience doing hardware support, network layouts, installs, that kinda stuff (not too bad for being 20, I suppose). My main issue is: Will I have time to go to school & work a full time job at the same time? If I get into a decent enough place I'm sure they'll reimburse me for some if not most of it, but I just don't want to press my time.
I think I'll just keep my eyes and ears wide open and keen. Maybe big brother isn't for me.
Maybe it wont be long before a concert consists of a net broadcast to multiple locations with huge LCD panels spanning the walls, along with a decent surround sound speaker setup.
I could see this working for a symphony type setting, but I dunno about Pantera or anything;>
Just think, you wouldn't have to worry about booking artists at multiple locations... They could just watch people on the huge 100' x 60' TFT screen as they broadcast from one location =)
Like this should be a surprise to anyone. Theres a lot of sites out there, atleast the smaller ones, who probably can't afford to purchase a demo for themselves. I'm sure this offer is pretty appealing... I just hope sharky, ars, and anandtech don't sell out.
"Dose anyone else remember 2.8 meg floppy ? Has anyone actually used a 2.8 meg diskette ? I have and it was the OS/2 setup disk for a high end PS/2. No 3rd parties ever adopted it as far as I know of. Compaq had the same prob with LS120 for some years until now it's irrelevant ( zip is cheaper too )."
Wait, did you say High End PS/2? Isn't that on the same lines as Military Intelligence?
It's really not that hard to figure out, come on. I highly doubt that the space shuttle was directly linked to the internet, so stop saying that =p The "Crackers" as they're called were attacking NASA's base computers, which in turn could have dropped their systems and their communication with the shuttle. May seem a little redundant, but I think a few people may have said close to the same thing. The space shuttle comm. stuff should be put on a completely different network.

As if FunCom's servers aren't getting hit hard enough, everyone has to go and slashdot them. *sigh*
I'll never get to play.
Oh come on, mod this up!

Less caffienne, more sleep.

D'oh.
Too slow apparently =p
Anyone remember how well those went over?
Exactly.
...Katz is going to be writing an article now on how we should be sending monkeys into space instead of people.
Atleast we'll have something else to bitch about.
