Damn it! Now that you've reminded me of basic I had to install a basic interpreter and now I'm going to sit and relearn basic. So much for getting some work done today!
"Well, I tell ya, I had this one problem that eventually got narrowed down to a bad DIMM, which was nearly impossible to isolate..."
Amen.
I had a bad DIMM in my system, so it would only crash if I loaded something up that used lots of memory (like a game or something). It drove me nuts trying to fix it.
One day I just woke up in a daze, walked to me computer, pulled it out, and started my computer up, worked fine. Guess it works to 'sleep on it'.
Anyway, I wish I had tried installing linux on it around then. Would have saved me TONS of time.
Do that, and I will personally hunt you down and do something nasty to you, like make you sit in a IRC room full of AOL users for a few hours...
Seriously, though. I get about 5-10 spam messages a day (without filtering, even), and about 40-50 bounces\replies from people because some asshat is sending out spam with my address.
As for recursively visiting URLs, I'll agree to that:) I personally use a script from glowingplate.com. (Don't kill his site!) Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash

lynx -dump -useragent="By sending e-mail to my domain, you agreed to the published Terms of Service of my privately owned domains and servers, including the stipulation that all spam would result in your webserver log being filled with garbage.

If you don't want me to visit your website, don't solicit my visit by sending me unsolicited e-mail, because EACH unsolicited e-mail will result in your server logs being filled with this junk. You do not have a First Amendment right to waste my bandwidth, electricity, CPU time or hard disk drive space with your crap, characteristically illiterate or otherwise.

let COUNT=COUNT+1
echo $COUNT done
I just run that a couple times for each e-mail I receive. The messages have slowly tapered off...
"I don't even think Outlook is that stupid anymore."
As of Outlook 2003 (that comes with ms office) it downloads them by default. The only way I could find around this (was just doing this for a friend, didn't have much time, though) was to simply tell it to show all messages as plain text.
Yeah, I've had quite a few asshats sign me up for gay porn sites, thinking it was funny.
Simple solution, though. I change the alias that they send e-mail to (and had signed up) to point to their own e-mail address. Hope they like gay porn...

Redhat 9.0. I've never actually tried BSD.
Is it a lot diffirent from Linux? If it is, how hard is it to learn the BSD commands knowing Linux well.
I was actually looking into installing BSD on a diffirent box a couple of days ago.

Lowest I've seen.
My first program was on the computers at school. I forget the syntax of basic now, so I'll just guess:
:)
10 FOR I = 0 to 999999
20 POKE I, 0
30 NEXT I
It was something like that. It basically wrote 0's to the memory until the PC shit itself and crashed.
Good times, good times

233 Mhz Pentium II, 96 MB Ram, last I checked was somewhere around 400 days of uptime.

THAT is stability. That would be my web server
IIRC, it's like 150-160 DB will stop your heart, so I don't think you'd be around long enough to experience your eyes bleeding.
Just my opinion, though.
Is it just me, or haven't the power buttons on newer computers been reacting diffirently depending on how long you hold them down for years?
When does microsoft claim they 'invented' this?
Using Firefox:
Tools>Options
Web Features
Uncheck Java\Javascript right there. No more Java or Javascript ads.
For flash, install flashblock. It simply changes the browser so that you must click on a button before it will show the flash movie.

No, you do it like this:
1) Sign up for porn.
2) Receive a bunch of porn e-mails.
3) Sue employer.
4) ???
5) Profit!
