Open the box again and check the cpu heat sink. If it is not getting very warm, it could be loose or poorly sealed with thermal material. That could make for intermittent heating problems. You might have to remove and remount the heat sink. On Fri, Nov 9, 2012 at 12:42 AM, Derek Trotter

I just got the beast rebooted after doing so. The progress indicator got to 44% when the bottom of the screen turned red and numbers started scrolling so fast they were a blur. So I'm guessing the several million errors it found before I rebooted it just might have something to do with it.

Michael, You are thinking far too one dimensionally. What you really need is the routing and account numbers for an account owned by Alcida. Then let them steal away. Let the jerks explain how they illegally obtained this information to Homeland Security. Ha ha ha ha I got your humor, guys

Spam control? (was RE: virus)

2012-11-09 Thread Carruth, Rusty
Some time back I thought the best solution would be to form a co-op. Members of the co-op would run some sort of program to detect spammers, and then join together in a DOS attack on the spammer's MTA. Detection should be pretty easy, I'd think, with minimal false positives. When I thought

Well... back in 96 (before I ran linux) someone sent me a 'game'. I opened the 'game' and my computer locked up and had to be restored. That is actually what I wanted :) Also, I would never send it to a US based scammer. How do I discover where 'phx.gbl'. traceroute gets to 10 hops then gives me:
