I went there, got malwared, cleaned it up.
I added the site to the restricted zone, locked down ActiveX, WindowsUpdated...
I went back, got malwared again, cleaned it up again...
It seems to be clean now. It may have been a coincidence and another site did it, but it was enough to make me say "Screw the corporate browser policy, I'm switching to Firefox."
Incidentally, neither SpyBot or AdAware could do anything to it, so I had to work it out for myself.
The site's got nothing to do with spam.
I should have mentioned that this is the second link in the article, about driveby popup installers which you can't stop with IE.
Handlers Diary June 15th 2004 Updated June 15th 2004 14:31 UTC (Handler: Lenny Zeltser) Akamai DNS outage Akamai DNS problem
Starting at around 8:30 am EDT (12:30 UTC), a number of sources started to report a widespread Akamai DNS issue. Large web sites, which use Akamai for its DNS service, did no longer resolve. Effected sites are Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Fedex, Xerox, Apple and likely many others.
At this time (10:30 am EDT), some effected domains removed the Akamai DNS servers and are reachable again using their own DNS servers.
Typically, the domain itself (e.g. 'google.com') still resolves, but popular hostnames, like 'www.google.com' will not resolve. As a result, the web site is no longer reachable.
The effect appears to be world wide. Some of the Akamai servers do respond to pings, but do not respond to DNS queries.

The article said the problem is worldwide.
I tried the specific URL they said didn't work - http://www.google.com/ - and it works for me.
So do Microsoft, Yahoo and Xerox - all with the www.
Can someone explain WTF is going on?

OK, you've got me there.
I was really trying to say that coaxial gas cells would work well in civilian ship. If someone really wants to kill you, they're going to do it anyway.
Peter Strasser probably thought that if they were going to build a ship that size they just make it climb so high that it would be invulnerable and forget the nitrogen. That would follow on from the X class ships like L71.
Since he's in Australia he probably doesn't care much about the FCC.

It's simple to fireproof a hydrogen filled rigid.
There was a design at the end of WWI, L100 I think, with coaxial gas cells. Hydrogen surrounded by nitrogen.
This was designed to resist explosive and incendiary Brook and Pomeroy ammunition, not accidents.
It was never built due to its poor climbing ability. Lots more structural weight for the same amount of gas.

Cool laptops? You can't get those anywhere.
Only bollock burner specials these days.
It's a misspelt white(ish) ceramic protrusion in the mouth.
Mainly used for eating.
Skyhooks are attached to aircraft, not the equator.
Details here.

Looks like NS Savannah is available.
It's cheap, at 1$ per year. Yes, really.
I know this is off topic, but I always though the borg were copied from Dio video "The Last in Line".
Zombie looking humanoids with gadgets and tubes everywhere...
Next time use < for < and > for >.
You can also use & for &.
This rapidly gets silly.
I always thought that was an unfortunate name for a magazine.
Ever heard of "The Story of O"?
Don't ask me.
You don't have to be Joe User to need something like that. I can't be bothered to keep my bookmarks in sync between desktop and laptop.
That should be trivial. .URL launches the default browser and opens the page.
Favorites are just shortcuts (*.URL)
Opening a
2000 and XP use
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites\
%userprofile%\Favorites\
NT4 uses
%windir%\Profiles\All Users\Favorites\
%userprofile%\Favorites\
9x uses
%windir%\Favorites\
Thanks. And thanks to Azi Dahaka too.
I looked in Tools>Options - since it wasn't there I thought I'd have to edit prefs.js (or whatever the Thunderbird equivalent it).
An even bigger problem is that I have to use Outlook at work. At least mine is patched.
I did read it, in fact I posted it.
After getting IE infected, I switched to Firefox and it didn't work.
<rhetoric>
What do you do about a site which infects IE but can't be used with another browser?
</rhetoric>
WindowsUpdate is an obvious one.
Microsoft support - try to search the knowledge base.
Here's a non MS one.
It amuses me that you can't search MS's knowledge base to fix IE if IE is dead. On the other hand, Windows is probably dead if IE won't run.
Importing Favorites is easy.
;)
Either let it import them during installation (it will prompt you), or go to the File menu and click on Import...
I'll assume you're having just a bad day.
My problem is finding "Compose ONLY in plain text" in Thunderbird. If it's there, I can't find it.
I went there, got malwared, cleaned it up.

Go on, paste it.
A copy of that would save me (and others) the effort of writing our own.
I think this is the one I caught at work.
x .html ;)
s tem32\Automove.exe
o ws\Curr entVersion\Run
No security restrictions in IE will stop it.
I caught it here:
http://www.yetanotherhomepage.com/j7xx/j7x
There's a reason that this one isn't a link.
I killed mine like this (Windows 2000):
Delete these:
C:\Winnt\System32\Swin32.dll
C:\Winnt\Sy
C:\Winnt\System32\Trans.exe
And this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wind
[Adstartup] C:\Winnt\System32\Automove.exe
Seek and destroy Swin32.dll in the registry
Take out all of the CLSIDs it occurs in.
