RTB Posted July 28, 2004 CID Share Posted July 28, 2004 Wish stuff like that would appear magically at the computer here. There's nothing there otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted July 28, 2004 Author CID Share Posted July 28, 2004 Unless you are interested in having a 266mhz processor you dont want any of this stuff in your computer... All of this stuff is pre 1997... This is HARDWARE FLASHBACK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTB Posted July 28, 2004 CID Share Posted July 28, 2004 I still have a 486 66 mhz computer in my room. Currently the monitor is in use by my laptop, since that one is barely working at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does things those store-bought "hp" only dream of doing. as you said Swimmer.. updat is the key I have logged over 180 updates since installing xp sp1 on here.

Guest wmmc Posted August 28, 2004 CID Share Posted August 28, 2004 Photos still there, though not viewable as my host is under a DDoS attack. Currently they are implementing something to stop or slow the attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 28, 2004 Author CID Share Posted August 28, 2004 That sucks...DDoS attacks... that is getting really old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wmmc Posted August 28, 2004 CID Share Posted August 28, 2004 That sucks...DDoS attacks... that is getting really old! Yep, and its from one person, this makes 6 that I know of within 5 days, not to take this off-topic mind you, those photos will be around, part of my photo gallery.

Swimmer Posted August 28, 2004 Author CID Share Posted August 28, 2004 So why isnt he banned? I would think DDoS would be a really good reason to be banned and let him know that what he/she is doing is a crime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wmmc Posted August 28, 2004 CID Share Posted August 28, 2004 The person involved has no affiliation with the hosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 28, 2004 Author CID Share Posted August 28, 2004 either way it is against the law... Maybe the host should take legal action against the person.. I believe it is a minimum of like 2 year in jail if it is a host that does this for business... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wmmc Posted August 28, 2004 CID Share Posted August 28, 2004 The host does it for business, they also offer wireless internet to San Jose, CA, plus additional services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
