Solve : Mac is not finished?

Answer»

Traced his IP address. This is the information that was returned to me and a map of his location is also attached. (and is unedited)
Theres a few email addresses you could report Mac to if he does send you spam. Including the abuse: [emailprotected] and the DNS master for the Belgacom (if it matters).

Isn't "Skynet" the psychotic global computer network from the Terminator films...? Hmm...

The WHOIS data reveals the (likely) geographical location of an IP address, but note that the trace will end at the ISP. Unless you are a police organisation, you aren't going to be able to track beyond the ISP to the end user... And frankly, who'd want to?!!!The line on the map (which is cut off) shows the access that I get to the web site based on the places that it must go through frst. (EG: If I lived in Montanna, which I do not, it would have to go from my location, to the closets ISP server, across to the server of the site, and whatever it needs to go to next. It could have a few stops.And yes, robpomeroy, you were right.


"Skynet is only vaguely described in the first two movies, but is shown in more detail in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Originally, Skynet was created by Cyberdyne Systems Corporation, which in Terminator 3 is a sub-contractor for the United States Air Force's Cybernetic Research Systems."

Aritcle at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet .
Now I'm thinking that Mac is just some AI computer with nothing better to do.

http://www.skynet.be/ Sorry, dont SPEAK Dutch, German, or NetherIsnt it possible to contact Macs ISP (belgacom.be or Skynet.be) and have them block all access to this site?'Twould be one heckuva AI! But Mac is gone (for now, anyways).

Next on the agenda: Backdated. Before I altered my sig pic, he took the "liberty" of doing this as well. Take a look at Backdated's sig pic:

As you might imagine, I am a little offended...OK, if I'm going to be targetted by a Photoshop attack, I get to attack someone with Photoshop:

Yes, would be a heck of a AI computer system, whatever you would call it.

My question is this:
Why would Mac at first be helpful, then go to the point where only 11% of himself is sane?

I have received help from Mac, but it just doesn’t make sense.

The ME computer that I have has no editable BIOS.
(in other words, there is no "Press DEL to enter SETUP")
What is "Wake on LAN" anyways?

You don't always press DEL. It depends on the Make and model of computer.

Click on the self-help link and then look for BIOS codes.

It should tell you on the boot screen.

I would also like to know if Mac has access to peoples IP addresses on the forums.

No he cant dont worry.

R0SSI am already worried.
I have never emailed Mac, so there is no way that he could have my IP, but he has my Aprox. loacation.

Go ahead and re-read the PM that he left me.
