Open Question: What do blurbs at the bottom of emails…such as the following…mean?

Yahoo! Answers: Computers & Internet — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:22:20 +0000

I've seen the following sort of nonsense tacked onto the end of some emails, this one is from a craigslist communication (the beginning of the email was a legitimate correspondence, but the following was not): "The turquoise blue swimming pool some distance behind the lawn was no longer the satyr but a very good-natured and foolish swiss cousin the gustave trapp i have mentioned that lolita always had an absolutely enchanting smile for strangers a tender furry slitting of the eyes a dreamy sweet radiance of all her movements had its auditory counterpart in the pure air of champion colorado on that admirable court at the foot of seep stone stairs leading up to champion hotel where we had spent the night i felt sure somebody was tapping on the door of the closet and plunged into a heap of crumpled things that had touched her. > In outdoor activities and desirous of finding suitable playgrounds in the open where i had arrived with a new bag more than five years before. > She wanted to know." Why are these put at the end of some emails? What's the purpose?

Have you heard of The Shopify Build A Business Contest with grand prize: $100,000 ?

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:59:01 +0000

I saw on 4-hour-work-week blog about this contest which eventually leads to this website:
http://www.storecontest.com/

Excerpt:
“The contest is open to legal residents of the United States who are at least 18 years of age and starting a new business.”
“The winner will be selected based on their two best selling months between January 1st, 2010 and June 30th, 2010.”

Has any Mahaloian joined the contest ?
What is your experience in using Shopify ?
Any insights ?

Too bad I’m not US resident and can’t join the contest.
Hopefully some Mahaloians can win :-)

Thanks.

IIS & SMTP Services Shutting Down

TechRepublic New Questions — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:30:43 +0000

I have a domain with 15 servers. Any server in that domain with either IIS or SMTP installed will simultaneously stop. Actually, all IIS services stop and any SMTP service becomes disabled. I have looked for some rogue Group Policy setting and found nothing. I have scanned and rescanned for viruses and rootkits and found nothing. I'm showing no unusal activity or traffic between servers or at the firewall. I'm showing no spike in CPU, memory, etc at each individual server level. For two days in a row the services all stopped early in the morning, waited about 4 hours to do it again but then started stopping every 1 hour or so. In other words, the frequency seems to pick up as the day goes on. Any ideas would be appreciated.

PCs dropping off the network randomly

TechRepublic New Questions — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:29:50 +0000

Hi Guys, Just have a bit of confusing situation. I have got a new client who has got issues on the network wherein the pcs are dropping randomly of the network. The setup is that they have got Cisco 2800 series router with Site to site VPN setup. They have one Win 2k3 DC server, 2 applications servers, one ISA server and one lotus notes server. In addition to this they have got a Zyxel modem which is used to connect to the internet. Initially the ip address range was 10.135.12.xx on all the servers and the clients. They advised that recently they had to change the IP addresses on the servers and Clients. They have changed the IP address on the servers to 10.135.12.xx range with subnet of 255.255.252.0 and using 10.135.13.xx range for the clients. The DHCP server is on the Win 2k3 server and the default gateway for the clients is 10.135.12.1 that is of the cisco router ? I was advised that it forwards all the traffic to the ISA server and the traffic goes from there to outside world. Since the IP address changes the pcs are getting disconnecting randomly from the network sometimes they come back on by themselves or you might need to disable and reenable the LAN connection in the pc. The pcs and servers are connected to 3com Switches. I have done the following troubleshooting: assign static IP address to PC with 10.135.12.xx range as well as 10.135.13.xx range rebooted the servers, cisco and the switches disabled the firewall on the machines when this happens cant ping to and from the affected machine. Sorry for posting long question, any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
