    my biggest clue is that i run my own freaking domain and i dont employ anyone to look after my domain, and i certainly haven't got anyone at staff@ on my domain.

    My old dual Pentium 75 (yeah, zoomingly fast) was used for ages as a playbox, then one day i decide to pack it away to recover deskspace, i heard a little *tink*tink*tink* like something was loose in the case. I opened it up out of curiosity, and there was a 10-15uF electrolytic capcitor rolling around the bottom of the case.

    FCC be damned, it still ran like a charm when i plugged it in to see if the smoke came out. :-)

  11. Re:Not true on Which Screw Goes Where? · · Score: 1

    I've let the smoke out of a 8bit scsi controller.

    Just follow this simple guide and you can do it too.
    1) Simply allow the drive cable to go next to the back of a network card and lean on the network card.
    2) Puncture the scsi cable with the pins on the back of the network card.
    3) power up the computer. [1]

    The scsi card was toast and went pop like a toaster too! But the network card kept shifting packets!!

    [1] Another fun activity is turning yourself into a lightglobe by playing with an external scsi hard drive casing that is turned on, and has the casing removed.

    We had a company do like this at my old work, except it was over the course of a week or so. It was good, group activities, and most importantly free food and a OPEN BAR TAB on everything except "top shelf" liquor & spirits!

    a group of 18 of us racked up about a $3000-$4000 bar tab, then there was the cost of rooms at $140/night, food, activities. ahh we scored big time.

    Having another look at the demo adverts i notced other things too. If you minimise the screen, it pops back up again, if you try and copy the url after it has fully loaded, it wont let you, if you look at the source

    This is starting to sound exactly like the argument & reasoning being used by spammers.
    Base64 encoding their messages so your Mailwasher and baysian(sp?) mail filters cant pick up on it and block it.

    And as with spam, it is the end user that picks up the tab for the bandwidth used. Sure sites pay their hosting co's to send data, but hell think of it this way, 11-30kb for a page and maybe some small graphics compared to WASTING 100-300kb (plus the 11-30kb page that was loaded anyway). I can see how this makes sense too. and esp considering the revenue raised "per click", etc..

    Dear %ISP% Clients,

    AOL are currently blocking all %ISP% emails entering their
    mail server. Blockage of %ISP% addresses is also occuring on the
    rr.com domain.

    The removal of the blockage has already been requested and an update
    on this fault will be made when %ISP% are advised further by the
    Security Company hosting the blacklist.

    %ISP% has been advised the removal will occur in a timely manner, but
    have not been given a specific ETA.

    The interim fix appears to have resolved the issue for clients trying
    to send messages to AOL email addresses. The blocking of rr.com
