It's relatively simple with email messages. Emails come with headers that give the address of the servers involved in sending the email (you can view them in some email programs if you know where to look). Unfortunately, most spammers send emails through open proxies that don't give the IP of the original sender, so the best way to catch them is to make a honeypot.

If you use this in combination with the ARIN link Phi posted, you can get a location and ISP. And the IP locator is based upon the user's location, not the location of the ISP.

How do land based telescopes differ from telescopes in space????
Cap'n Refsmmat replied to dbzzx's topic in Other Sciences
Indeed. However, there are fancier, newer land-based telescopes with arrays of smaller mirrors that can be adjusted to compensate for the atmosphere's effect. This means that a land-based telescope could be just as good as any space-based one, although the technology is still developing. -
You'd have to make the image actually use a script on your server to generate it, and then have the script automatically delete the image after the first view.

Cheap routers don't handle traffic nearly as well as the best of them.

It's guaranteed that he's lying, because if you ask the one that lies, he'll tell you the opposite of the truth, and if you ask the one that tells the truth, he'll tell you the opposite anyways (because that's what the other would say).

"What would the other guy say, if I asked him, 'Does this door go to hell?'" If he says, "He'd say 'yes'" then take it, because it's the door to heaven.

It's most likely the router. A lot of them can't handle the level of traffic BitTorrent throws at them, and so they lock up.

Just because they have less doesn't mean they don't have harmful bacteria.

1600 would be perfect on the old SAT. The new SAT goes up to 2400 and is in use starting this year.

"Here we have an Apartment Building in Amsterdam taken out by a 600,000 lb 747. Much Larger Hole don't you think?" Much larger plane too. "Mystery Aircraft in video taped in Pentagon Area when all flights were suppose to be down" [they say it may have been used to guide the cruise missile] a) cruise missiles don't need guidance after launch b) the image provided is so tiny that it's impossible to tell anything from it "Have a look at this business jet that hit a warehouse after skidding off a runway in New Jersey on Feburary 2, 2005. See that the wing has folded back, however that strong cinder block construction still got knocked out by the one wing that hit the building. Interesting that the same was not shown on the Pentagon. More examples of this will probably come in over time. Just note that wings damage walls, but not Pentagon walls, right? Also the plane is intact like, it didn't go poof! Hmmm..." Skidding off a runway. Planes don't go 400 mph on runways, they go 100. Different situation entirely. "Another obvious question is, What are spools of heavy gauge wire doing on the west lawn of the Pentagon? " They were just completing a major renovation of the Pentagon at the time. About their speculations that a Global Hawk did it: Global Hawks have the same wingspan as a 757 (or larger), so it doesn't match any of their "evidence" against a plane crashing into the Pentagon. "Clearly the blue part of the color is wrong and it supports the theory that something made to look like an American Airlines 757 is what actually hit the Pentagon. Also the granularity of the paint is different the AA 757 has a more metallic look to it." It's a grainy picture. And that piece of debris has been bashed around quite a bit. It's hard to make evidence out of that. "The thing I find so interesting about this picture is the glass on the pavement in proximity of the pole. A jet going roughly 400 MPH hitting the pole and the glass from the light lands near where the pole is. The glass should have shattered the instant the plane hit the pole and land in a totally different area. This pole looks like it was just tossed into this position. What is also interesting in all the pole pictures is that the poles seem to have snapped off at the base. The mid section of the pole isn't even bent or dented, which is where the maximum stress would be as the pole bends." Erm.... did they even look at the pictures? They are bent and dented. It's not the natural curve of the poles either, if you look at the pictures of the original poles. "Considering the sheer strength of the poles I find it hard to imagine that wing wasn't severely damaged. The other thing about the light poles is that the plane was traveling very fast, about 400 MPH. If the plane hit the poles going that speed the poles wouldn't be close the road or on the road, rather they would be thrown a long way from the road, providing they didn't sheer the wings off. " Perhaps your speculation is wrong and the wings did suffer serious damage, with the poles denting them nicely and therefore dissapating some of the energy, which would cause them to not go flying nearly as far. "You think that if a wing could take out a light pole a simple steel column would be Swiss cheese as well?" Not when that wing has already been damaged by the light pole. "The only problem with this video footage is that it has been altered and can not be fully trusted." Says who? Regarding this video: you can see a large object in the first frame there. Missiles tend to be small objects. "My point is that Cruise Missiles make vapour trails like this, but not always. Another explanation could be that an engine was damaged if and when it hit the light poles. Land and sea based cruise missiles have a solid rocket propellant that gives off white smoke like this, the Space Shuttle is a good example of that." They also get rid of that solid rocket propellant after five seconds of flight, and switch to a small jet engine. "The other notable aspect to the explosion is that it look very similar to a fuel air bomb." Gee... you have an airplane's gas tanks hitting a building at 400mph and bursting, spraying fuel into the air... why won't it look like a fuel-air bomb? "Question: When does anyone put a fire truck beside a helipad 2 hours before anyone is suppose to be there?" Because it's the President and you're supposed to be paranoid about his safety. Whee.

Just because the majority says so doesn't mean it's right. And the Pentagon isn't in New York. Plane crashing into solid concrete building != plane crashing into tall, steel and glass skyscraper. Why doesn't it happen? Says who? The buildings collapsed before the fire was extinguished, and several thousand gallons of jet fuel certainly didn't help things.
-
I wouldn't expect any. It's supposed to be a surprise attack, after all. Planes are fragile. They're not made of depleted uranium--a mass of aluminum and carbon fiber will not break much of a hole through a concrete/brick wall. Think about it. Intelligent design cannot be disproved, nor can pastafarianism. That doesn't make either correct, especially when there are theories with more credible evidence that can be. What about the WTC main buildings? Most of the damage was caused by fire and jet fuel.

That's all true, but I still don't know what sort of reorganization I could do. It seems rather logical at the moment. I'll clarify that bit and explain some more. Yep, I had the same reaction when I saw that issue. I'll see what sort of title I can stick on it. The term "mammal" does not mean "animal with hips" though. Why would they have hips if they don't need them at all?

http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/311/31102.html'>http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/311/31102.html There are several things that can cause this problem. For example, if you're using a For() or While loop, you can't use a Goto statement to get out of it or you'll leak memory. Chapter 16 of the manual, and http://www.ticalc.org is handy too.

Even if you did upload it, it would be 2.4gig and you'd have to find a host that would be willing to take it.

Har har. I do hope that you're just testing us to see what the reaction is.

I'm sorry, I missed the part about Wikipedia authors being experts on plane crashes and missile impacts. http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/defense/1227842.html
