People who are suggesting Hard Drives clearly haven't tried to load information from an old IDE drive.
The interface for internal media changes quicker than external - you can still buy 3.5" drives, and only for about $10. A technology usable since 1987 - 20 year storage without media transfer is amazing!
Today you'd use DVDs: DVD's provide 4.7GB at a time, which for photos is fine. One just has to be careful of WHICH DVD's - the discount brand will degrade in about 10 years. Buy some "Medical grade DVDs" (online), and use them. Its not a cheap as buying a 1TB HD, but its portable, and more reliable.
huh - $3000 + a year probation for "correcting a misplaced apostrophe and comma". Isn't that a more serious punishment than a first time offender who assaults someone?
Well no it doesn't:
from spamcop.net: "SpamCop determines the origin of unwanted email and reports it to the relevant Internet service providers."
I don't want to spend time tracking down the machine that actually sent the spam - I want to find out who's the guy making money off this thing. He's the banker for all those spam emails.
A) there's alot few sites to target
B) they're easier to find - they have to be able to receive money from you, right?
There's tonnes of software out there to help users kill and remove spam. But where's the sofware that will let me find the real source/company of the spam?
I want a program that will go to the linked URL, bounce through the re-directs, figure out who in China actually owns the site which is trying to recieve money, and tell you.
THEN, all those ISP's should be blacklisting that hosting site for all traffic.
Its a waste of time/never ending arms race to keep trying to protect every PC out there - you have to follow the money.
anyone have that program? Its a real pain to do all that tracking manually and just get ignored by the hosting ISP...
