I'm sure Demon hit the 100,000 user mark some time ago, so 3,600 is a very small amount of people. Would be nice to get an email from Demon to confirm if you are on the list or not and force password changes for everyone who got compromised.
But keeping on track... I also opted out of eBilling as I wanted a paper bill sent to me each month.
Back in the day, Demon Internet in the UK would check for open relays and port block if one was found. The only reason I know this is the numerous entries in my Linux server at the time. I did speak to one of the tech guys who gave me a run down on what they did. I've no problems with an ISP monitoring and protecting itself.
As an IT contractor I've made a very good living from Microsoft's shoddy OS. With the impending release of Windows 7, I can forsee green shoots rising once again.:)
and I'm more than willing to pay a little more to farmers who take additional care to help protect the country's wildlife.
Your just paying the supermarkets. The farmer gets a fraction of what you pay and most farmers have to rent the land they farm, so thats more cost. Add to this the cost of running your goods as organic, only to have the supermarkets spray them (fruit and veg, not meat... I dont think.) which in my mind defeats the object.
I cant help it, I'm married to a farmers daughter. (cue dirty jokes):)
I'm a Windows server engineer and use both Perl and VB. So I need XP. I am only allowed to use XP or NT clients at work so again, I need XP. (Yes folks, we still use NT4, both server and clients!)
I have a battered old laptop running XP and an old desktop running NT4. I use Dameware to remote control the NT4 box as a VMware client would run my laptop into the ground.
Recently I bought myself a spanking new imac mini. Wow! Two weeks later I went back to the Apple store and got myself a MacBookPro. I've ditched my home desktop and now use the MacBookPro for everything. The mini is used as a media center and is plugged into the network and the tv. (You can tell I'm a geek.)
Anyway, now that Apple has given me a guide and drivers to run XP on my MacBookPro I'm going to use it. My battered old laptop can go to silicon heaven and my employer will be happy that I'm running XP on the works network. AND I can still drop back into OSX when I go home.
MSN has a 3rd party bolt on called simp-lite. You can get a free download from http://www.secway.com/ I've been using it for about two weeks and have got some of my buddies to try it out. Seems to work quite well.
For us living in the UK. Try SCAN'S Today Only page. It has a selection of SCSI DVDs for less than 100(ukp). Nice...:-) BadSoft, where did you want to go again...?

ISP War in the UK
·
· Score: 1
I have just moved over from BT to Localtel and changed ISP to Screaming.net. I also use Linux. The site: www.screaming.net has a link to Localtel which is the people you need to speak to about free calls to screaming.net's lines. There are 2 drawbacks. You will get phone network unavailiable now and again and you get kicked off after 2hrs. But its fine with Linux if you have a bit of PPP experience or use RedHats PPP setup script under the control-panel.
My experience is that if you are having trouble getting on due to the phone network being unavailiable then just keep trying.

Everyday he jumps the fence, comes into the garden, digs a hole and has a pi55 in it. So what's that got to do with this thread? He uses my shovel!

Whichever format the porno industry "jumps" for... :-P
I remember the days of betamax and VHS. I heard that VHS won because the porn industry started using VHS tapes. Was this an urban myth?
;-P
So, lets just wait for the porno people to cum up with the winner!
I've setup a few domains for people who just want to use the name for email only and dont want any website content.
