A company with ties to Eastern Europe has been forced offline, which has helped spam levels decrease The global amount of spam e-mail sent over the past two weeks has reduced drastically after two ISPs in the United States stopped offering service to a web hosting company involved in spam. San Jose, CA- based McColo Corp. also was involved in several criminal activities aside from spam, including child pornography, IronPort said. One of the company's ISPs, Hurricane Electric, was shown evidence by a Washington Post reporter that McColo was involved in criminal activity, which led Hurricane Electric to pull the plug. Global Crossing also pulled the plug on McColo yest…

I was so excited about a month ago to discover that Spike had revamped Unsolved Mysteries. Since Halloween, everyday after work I've unwound from work with this program that I love. I even think they did a great job giving it some updates. Sure, most of it was still the old late 80's/early 90's mysteries but I still loved it. So when I went to watch it yesterday it was gone! I can't find any information on what happened to it or when it will play again. Does anyone know anything about what happened? As Robert Stack would say, "Perhaps you...can help solve a mystery".

I was reading a description of a dry good store in the late 19th C. this morning and it occurred to me to wonder what I might buy if I were transported there somehow. Then I started wondering about a early 18th C. London market. So, expanding on the premise a bit, I settled on the absurd quantum method Crichton (God rest 'im) came up with in Timeline for transporting people through time. So, by kitbashing these concepts I came up with a thread idea... Some conditions for those playing along: 1. You can only stay for a day. (No, you can't stay there forever. Sorry about that.) 2. You can only bring what you can carry with you and get out only what you can (reasonably…

Seven Deadly Sins 1 2

Alright, it's probably been done, but here it is again, and shiny hasn't been rubbed off yet. Which of the Seven Deadly Sins do you most personify? (To refresh your memory, or for those of you not raised Catholic) * Lust? * Gluttony? * Greed? * Sloth? * Wrath? * Envy? * Pride? I suppose I'd have to be pride. I'll admit I'm pretty much a narcissistic, conceited bastard when it comes down to it. Let the introspection and self-bashing commence! (Or post someone else's vice - we are pirates, you know.)

Ok, I have spent two days trying to get into the pub. My own computer is on the blitz and I have had to use the local library's comps. Since I have my own computer set up with remembering m'password. I could not for the life of me remember it. I asked that it be reset. BUT for some reason it wouldn't work. I asked for it be reset again. Again no luck until today. One reason is that my account was locked after so many tries, understandable. However, even after waiting for it to unlock it still said it was locked. I tried to find a way to contact the Administrator. BUT, you can't do that without being logged in. SO, my suggestion is that a link to an Administr…

If you could only have one job for the rest of your life, what would you want it to be? Note that I don't mean, if it were 1700 and you could only have one job, I mean right here, right now. (Warning - we tend to project our current situation into the future and that causes us to overlook potential possibilities. Don't fall willingly into that psychological trap.)

A President, who is neither Democrat or Republican, one of the other parties instead. That would be real change! That has never happened in history. It has always been about Democrat or Republican, but someday a whole new party needs to get in there. I am neither Democrat or Republican, I don't agree with either one of them. I'm tired of it always being between those 2 parties. Perhaps someday, in my lifetime, I'll see that kind of real change and not the same old thing.

Hello, To all of the people who may read this. Although you may not know who I am I'd like to take this oppurtunity to introduce myself. My name is David Trevino, I am the proud husband of my wonderful wife Kim Trevino "aka" Black Syren. I normally wouldn't post on your admirable site however, I just couldn't resist the chance to extend my most deep and sincere thanks for all that you have done. I have had the honor to chat with some of Kim's friends and all I can say is "You all are truly wonderful people" I would also like to add that I would never have thought that friends that my wife so dearly loves and has never met would ever go out of your way to help our…

My polling place opened at 7. I left the house at 6:30, decided to get a cup of coffee, then headed over about 6:50. There was a line! I've never stood in a line to vote before. I did a head count, and there were about 70 people in front of me. By the time the doors opened there were at least 100 people in line. All told, it took me about a half an hour to get in and vote. On the way out the line was still long. It had dropped to about 60.

A true loss to the literary world, Michael Crichton has passed on to the other side. I am deeply saddened. He has always been one of my favorite authors. May the light of the Angels surround him and may he be blessed in the light of the Summerland. A truly great loss for all of us who enjoyed his books. He was an innovative author who challenged our thoughts and preconceived notions showing that the improbable was probable. I raise my tankard of Rum and salute this literary giant among men.
