They may have changed the frequency that those things use. I used to be able to hear the horizontal oscillator of a TV set (actually the coils of the flyback transformer rattling) at 15.75 kHz, but I don't hear that from modern TV sets. I don't know if it's because they're building them differently or if I'm just losing some sensitivity up there. At 61 years old, it's perfectly normal even without a lifetime of too-loud music listening. I can put an oscillator into my monitors and still hear it, but I don't know how that SPL compares with what came out of my 1952 Emerson black-and-white. -- I'm really Mike Rivers ) However, until the spam goes away or Hell freezes over, lots of IP addresses are blocked from this system.

(The Calrec Sigma at work has a couple of cards in it that intermittently start spitting out 15Khz. Out the monitor outputs only apparently, supposedly moved to a "non-critical path", but who knows really...

My father actually had a Bang & Olufsen device that could do that. Later they made them of flat string, at the peak of the technology some manufacturers even tried selling adhesive tape for the purpose and it makes excellent flat disks if you leave it in the "tape vault" for long enough, it was marketed as the best thing to use if it was worth recording. Somehow that statement really sticks to mind. This concept of sticks later brought on the development of memory sticks.

You know you're getting old when the radio station that you once
received with your crystal set comes in loud and clear on your tooth fillings. Funny! --------------------------------------- "I know enough to know I don't know enough" |

Thankfully the quality of backup is now so high it is identical to the original, and the cost of backup keeps getting lower and lower. It is now possible to keep a large number of backup digital multitrack recordings, for the cost of one Reel of analog tape.

Hey all-
I know this is way off topic, but there is such a wealth of knowlege here that I figured I would ask this question anyway. Tonight, I checked my e-mail, and found a SPAM message in my inbox. I'm in the habit that if I don't know who the SPAM is from, and can't tell from the subject line what they are hawking, I'll glance at the contents to see what "brand" of SPAM it was. Now, not being entirely trusting, I usually glance at the source code for the messages instead of just openining it in Outlook Express, on the off chance that it is a virus or something. Well, I glanced at this particular one, and noticed it was in HTML, and didn't have the "signature" of a virus, but my eye was caught by something in the message. It seems that there is a "message" hidden within the HTML code, that if loaded into a browser the browser would just ignore, as it isn't valid HTML Just for the heck of it, I copy-pasted the code into Word, and separated out the "message", just to see what it had to say. It doesn't quite make sense, or at least not in complete sentences. I will paste the code in here, stripped of the HTML header, so that you can see it as I rec'd it, and follow that with the "message". I still haven't actually "opened" the e-mail, or even looked at the code in a browser, but it would appear that if I did, it would look like an average "prescription" SPAM, which amongst the code tries to get me to go to www dot medsquickusa dot biz (I purposely altered that so it won't be an actual link for anybody, but they could reconstruct it should they desire to.) Now this brings up an interesting question- is "biz" a valid domain suffix? Or is the entire address fictitious, just so they could send out this hidden "message"?
