SPAM
by Bill Reid 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

Interesting Editor's note from the Information Week newsletter: In recent weeks, you've probably noticed the return of an old pest: spam. For almost two years, it seemed as if spam might finally be on the decline. Remember when Bill Gates said that by 2006, "spam will be solved"? Well, that was all going well until a few months ago when spam struck back. According to e-mail filtering vendor Postini, spam volumes have grown 73% in the last two months. There are several recent developments … [View More]

File transfer question
by Mike Pfaiffer 16 Dec '06

16 Dec '06

I'll admit to searching for a solution for less than a half hour on this one. If anybody has a solution *handy*, please let me know. I'll continue the search later as I get more time. (At least I have all my XMas shopping done) Situation: I've learned enough to give a demo to the MWCS about setting up a home LAN and rudimentary networking. I've set up an OS X (10.2.6) box as an ftp, ssh, Apache, and file server. I plan on demonstrating how to do the set up, test the connections, … [View More]

used computer parts
by Trevor Cordes 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

For those asking about used computer parts at the meeting last night. My used parts list is at: http://www.tecnopolis.ca/forsale/forsalec.html It's a bit messy (legacy system) but the details are accurate, and you can always search it with google's site:tecnopolis.ca option. The prices are totally flexible; most fair offers accepted. I can provide gaurantees/warranties and even trial periods on all parts. (Please, help me regain some shelf space!)
