Probably ARP requests. Here on my end of @Home, every hour or two I get arp requests for every IP in our netblock, which I presume is the NOC's way of keeping track of who is using which IPs.
This has been happening since I got the service a year ago, so I doubt it's an attacker.
If you hook a Unix box up to the feed, you can tcpdump it and see the ARP packets. I imagine there must be some equivalent for Win boxen too.
They are used, the thing is that the top floors of the Petronas towers are not as high as the top floors of the Sears tower. PT has a claim at the record due to a large spire that rises from the top of each tower. It's not necessarily a cheap shot at the record, though; the spires really do match the look of the towers which were fashioned after local cultural architecture.
IIRC, I saw an interview with one of the architects of the Petronas Towers; apparently they weren't shooting for the record but when they found out they were so close they tacked a few extra floors (I think?) onto the design.

Stupid IE tricks:
Use shift+click to open a link in a new window, without using the context menu.
Another one that many people aren't aware of:
Hold ctrl (I think) while spinning the mouse wheel to resize fonts quickly.

"That's impossible! Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light!"
"Of course not! That's why we had the speed of light increased in 2513."
(Badly remembered, from Futurama).
