I opened my email the other day and guess what I saw in there? A fruad mail requesting me to call someone in order to verify my authenticity about some lottery or something I have won. I know that I never entered for any such lottery but I was kinda really surprised at the mail.
Below is the said mail.

Now, what do you guys say to something like this? That someone will just wakr up some day and start thinking of how to dupe others of their hard earned money.
Good for you man. I think it's discusting how some people can't be bothered to earn money the hard way. I think that it is about time that these guys learnt how to earn an honest £. I would personally never reply to any e-mail like that. If it's that important, the organisation will never e-mail you. Banks will send you written confirmation through the post if they need details etc. It's the same with those cheap and nasty adds that come up with some websites - stupid things like - " You are our 1,000,000 viewer, you win £100,000. I've tried accessing these sites from different computers, and they all say the same. The way I see it is what you never had you'll never miss. I play my cards close to my chest. Thanks for your time, Sean Webber (alive).
QUOTE Most web designers will have copies of each of the leading browsers installed on their
system — for testing purposes. However, given the percentage of readers who come to HTMLSource
still using Internet Explorer 6, there are obviously a huge amount of people out there who haven’t
been told that there are better browsers available. What do you think, when will be the time,
when developers won't have to test their work in IE6 ?? I am waiting for that time to arrive

Years ago... I was surfing through web, chating with people. Anyway, someone was wrong and I had
to correct him :P So we exchanged messages then I learned he's a middle aged man. That hit me.
To that point, in my mind he too also a teenager. So I kinda fell remorse, I felt like i acted
disrecpectull to an elder. Just think about it, our minds cant talk to a monitor so we create an
avatar for the people we talk on web. But because we know so little things about them, our mind
copies our own identity. So that's why we are absolutely equal on web. It doesnt mat....
Well I doubt they are vital to most users, however, you might be able to find some use for these
tools. QUOTE PingInfoView The simplest of all Internet tools is the humble ping command,
which lets you use the command prompt to contact a Web site and see if it is alive and responds to
your ping request. It also resolves host names to IP addresses--in other words, if you issue the

tells you the speed of the connection and response. The free PingInfoView makes the simpl....
I recently joined a service which pays you to search the internet on their site, this site uses

The title really explains it all. After setting up connection sharing through LAN and on one
computer, I had a thought "well could I use this to share an internet connection from a wide
distance?". Well could I? So say now that my brother who lives a mile down the road who has no
internet connection, but a phoneline, Could he set up a connection going to my IP? I could use a
service like DynamicIP where theres a domain "summoned" towards my dynamic IP (or i could change to
a broadband company that gives me a static IP) The software I'm using is called CCProxy It&....

Don't you just hate it when people call Microsoft, Windows, and Linux derogatory names? Well, I
do. I think it's just useless, because calling them derogatory names won't get them
to improve; they'll just sue you or something. Here's a few of the examples of "nicknames"
of every company that I've heard over the past year: Windows: Windoze, Doors (don't really
get this one), Losedows ("lose", opposite of "win"), Faildows ("fail", pseudo-opposite of "win")

past EB Games (they sell games hence the name). I picked up their catalouge and I was looking

the computer or my internet connection. It often takes several seconds to open up a link. What
can I do to fix this? I am not one to be picky about speed, but net browsing is so slow that I
don't feel like using the computer any more. I've heard some people say that ....
I'm working on a website and a few minutes ago I got very tired from the Internet Explorer
vertical scrollbar. This vertical scrollbar is always there, even if the length of the page does not
require a vertical scrollbar. In this case, Internet Explorer will disable the scrollbar though not
remove it. In my opinion this would be correct behaviour. The disabled however not hidden scrollbar
means that a switch between a preview of your website in Mozilla Firefox and MS Internet Explorer
will lead to an annoying change of the location of your layout. To disable this an....
