    A few thoughts...

    - Work with either local law enforcement (based on the IP) and / or the FBI.

    - You may be able to get the ISP to reveal the user's identity be working with the authorities.

    - You may be able socially engineer the billing information from the ISP, by acting on behalf of this person.

    - With full access to the machine, you may be able to find other revealing information on their network.

  2. MySQL CSV engine on F/OSS Flat-File Database? · · Score: 0

    From http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/csv-storage-engine.html

    The CSV engine provides four basic benefits to those using MySQL:

          1. It allows flat files to be referenced via SQL and used alongside other data that has been loaded into MySQL.
          2. Editing data stored via the CSV engine can be performed even when the MySQL server is down through standard file editors.
          3. Data from any CSV engine file can easily be imported into any standard spreadsheet program (e.g. Microsoft Excel).
          4. It allows for the instantaneous loading of massive amounts of data into the MySQL server.
