I have a client STILL running their business on a 386 I built with SCO XENIX many years ago. The application, written in BBX, (business basic), would have to be re-written.

Now sending floods to unsubcribe lists, is not the way to be doing it however.
The attacks should be directed at the injecting IP.
In the example below, I direct a ping flood to: 219.86.51.137 Further, you could parse the body for the web sites actually hosting the spam.
As well, you can have scripts automatically send notifications to blacklisters and abuse departments of the upstream providers. net.tw ---> http://www.pigo.cn/index.htm gets abuse complaint. (Now if I could only write in chinese)
Further, you could hack the injecting box: Starting nmap 3.55 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-07-18 10:40 MDT Interesting ports on 219-86-51-137.dynamic.tfn.net.tw (219.86.51.137): (The 1658 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 135/tcp filtered msrpc 1025/tcp open NFS-or-IIS

Dell has a restore function that is as simple as inserting a recovery CD. An image of the OS, stored on the HD, brings the computer back to where it was when you first bought it.
Too bad, AOL and Symantec viruses pervade Dell boxes. Otherwise, its a great solution.
In the future, I'm sure we'll see more systems with restore functions that are as simple as pressing a button.
Here is where any benefits are harvested back to ClearCube: $2000 per seat for management license?! Don't forget the additional $1200 for hardware per seat?!?
No thanks.
I'll spend the $400 per seat on a new computer and send my staff on a vacation with the $3000 per seat savings.
If you are were an alien seeking advanced life forms in a solar system, would Lagrange Points not be a great place to start?
With our current technology, is it possible to calculate and detect emissions from Lagrange Points of our latest neighboring planetoid discoveries, possibly with SETI?
Better to think that an intervention more beneficial to Earth life comes from a rendezvous made at a Lagrange Point as apose to using it for more greedy control/mongering.
This is what I don't like about our current mod system: It would be nice to mod this up, but I need points. When I have mod points, I usually don't need them.
When hiring contractors or staff, if there is mention of MCSE, I file the resume into/dev/null. When taking on clients, if they ask me for MCSE, I file them into...you guessed it.../dev/null.

I'd mod this funny, but can't comment and mod.

Getting 404 errors on the main page when trying to view the images?
Alternatively, they can be viewed here:

Using, my Celestron 9.25" last night here in the north, sure gives you an appreciation of these images and what bigger light buckets nets you.
Showed my wife M57, (Ring Nebula), for the first time.
Albiet, it was washed and faint, its a worthy experience to see things with your "God's Eye".
Can anyone here, who has toured a large telescope, comment on how the captured images compare to the live views?

Highly recommended support for the project, even if it's just $5 for a beer via donations

Put the stuff up for sale on eBay.
Some business savvy type could buy it, (shipping may cost more), but then you could sell the data to The Planetary Society for $1 mill and profit!
"That's like the cost of running a humvee for a week in Iraq."
Well said.
The US trade deficit is supposedly shrinking from its $500 billion, so what's wrong with adding a measly $250k?
They sure do have some priorities backward.

Just looking at all the options.
Are there any versions still available for 386?
If the pain does not motivate them to leave, maybe the smell of cooking...never mind.

Even with a contract, your going to come out ahead switching.
The time wasted for a buggy outcome, will certainly exceed any money thrown away.
"...start by rooting around Microsoft's MSDN site..."
lol, not sure you meant the pun, but I alternatively read that as rooting the MSDN site, (running Linux), and use that for your host.

yep, change ISPs.
Web standards are scary enough without adding yet another layer of, "more to go wrong".
