Funny, I thought it was a result of running Microsoft products.
Soon enough, there will be plenty of servers that non Pay4dumb users won't be able to access.
MSN was recently noted as serving up different (read broken) content to non-IE browsers. Now you won't be able to decrypt or access MSN (and other sites) without Internet Exploder.
I had this happen to me.
It was "www securedrugs net"
I thought for a while of using some recent attack as revenge, such as the anonymous UDP Gamespy DOS attack, to take down the perp's website for a few weeks.
However, I don't really have the time or experience for this sort of thing.
If anyone else feels like it, Go right ahead!
Now that this has happened, my inbox has seen a doubling of spam. From a Yahoo account, it is not so easy to filter this stuff. Soon I may very well have to pay for Yahoo mail, to get better filtering.
Perhaps some of these recipients have signed me up for more?

The picture shown indicates the cold-input pipe is almost at the same level as the hot-output pipe.
I would tend to believe the flow past the CPU could be improved simply by making the cold-input pipe longer, making it loop down a bit lower before connecting to the CPU hat. This might produce a slight boost in gravity/convection.
A piece of insulation between the tubes would eliminate any pre-heating of the input water, as well, if the selected tubes are not good insulators.

If you could somehow harness the power of the internet by enlisting a number of Slashdot readers, and using that power for good, what would you have us do?
For example,
- Create a Dave Barry Hive Mind? (DBHM(tm))
- Patrol the internet, looking out for bootleg copies of your jokes?
- Descend upon Miami for a huge literary research conference?
You have written about so very many adventures, far too many to list here. Some of my favourite columns of yours include your column about trip to Bimini aboard Buster, the Great Mall of China, and, of course, the Pensacola Lawn Rangers.
What do you consider to be your greatest adventure to date?
(If you wrote about it, what book is it in, in case I somehow missed it!)
For example:
Is your processor a Pentium (which can, by the way, be rearranged to spell "u tip men")?
Do you use MySQL to house the world's database of toilet-snakes incidents?
What is the frequency of your CPU? Your booger jokes? Your auxillary backup dog's accidents?
Which spellchecker do you use, Mr. Language Person?
Thank you very much from a big fan,

With the pending birth of our first child, I am transitioning away from the athletic, windsurfing type of person, towards more of the sand-castle building
type of person.
As a father of two, do you have any advice for finding the time to do "research" on the computer and the internet?

The little animation is nice, but...
I don't know about in Germany, but here in Canada, two meshed gears spin in opposite directions!
an astounding 77 million transistors

"notebook with a WUXGA screen"
Call me back when you have an Awooogah screen.
I want to use it on my submarine.
This is what I saw:
The page cannot be displayed
There are too many people accessing the Web site at this time.
HTTP 403.9 - Access Forbidden: Too many users are connected
I thought they would have put more effort into their GUI. Bah!

What is the most evil thing you have seen, so far?
Reply-to impersonation?
Embedded hypertext identifiers?
I'm sure it's much worse than that.
What would you do to stop that evilest of evil practises?

Dear Bonefish Dave,
You have written about so very many adventures, far too many to list here. Some of my favourite columns of yours include your column about trip to Bimini aboard Buster, the Great Mall of China, and, of course, the Pensacola Lawn Rangers.
What do you consider to be your greatest adventure to date?
(If you wrote about it, what book is it in, in case I somehow missed it!)
What is your favourite book? Yours / not-yours?
Jamie Strachan
Dear Mr. Barry,
What are the specs of your home and work systems?
For example:
Is your processor a Pentium (which can, by the way, be rearranged to spell "u tip men")?
Do you use MySQL to house the world's database of toilet-snakes incidents?
What is the frequency of your CPU? Your booger jokes? Your auxillary backup dog's accidents?
Which spellchecker do you use, Mr. Language Person?
Thank you very much from a big fan,

PS.,
Who cuts your hair? Weasels?
