3/3     HAHAHA.  This virus mail was funny enough that I had to share:
        Dear user of http://Berkeley.EDU,

        Your e-mail account  will be disabled because of improper  using  in
        next three  days, if you are still  wishing  to  use it, please,
        resign your account information.

        Pay attention on attached file.
        ["attached file" is something called Document.zip]
        \_ Kind of interesting to see a worm combined with a phishing scam.

5/7     Help, I think something's wrong with my network setting. I'd go to
        a web site, and then it would say "cannot find address". Then I'd
        reload again, occassionally 3 times, to load the page. Is this
        due to DNS being too slow, TTL setting, or something else?
        \_ windows mac or linux ?

12/1    Just curious -- what do you guys generally use soda for? Why do you
        log on? Personally, I use it to keep a presence on IRC and AIM/gTalk
        at all times, and mess around with some Python programming (been
        setting up Twisted and such so I can play with making an irc bot).

3/4     Hi, what's the best free anti-virus software for XP?  What about
        anti-spyware?  Currently I'm using Active Virus Shield and Spybot.
        Thanks.
        \_ I've used: avg, spybot s&d, adaware, trend micro's housecall.
           \_ Does Spybot S&D protect Firefox?  It soulds like the injection
              feature only supports IE.

11/02   I just got an email (at my work account) from what appears to be a
        head-hunter.  It is very low on job offer details.  Does anyone else
        get these?  Is it worth it to respond?  If I respond, will I be
        flooded with these?
        \_ The job market is hot for employees now.  Head hunter/recruiter

2/2     I received an email ostensibly from http://paypal.com, saying that my account
        has been flagged and asked me to verify my info at 210.221.194.*
        I find it very suspicious and I am not sure if I really had a paypal
        register under that email addr?  Is this real or just phishing?
        How could I tell in general?

10/24   Is everybody getting spams purportedly from SBC that ask you to click
        at some http://sbc.m0.net/xxxxxx ? The emails look legit enough and
        SBC does have my my soda email, but I explicitly opted out from any
        updates and the link address looks suspicious.
        \_ It's known as "phishing", is very common (especially to try to

2/6     I got a 'phishing' spam email.  The phishing site gets DNS and
        registration from Yahoo Domains.  I've tried emailing Yahoo to get them
        to revoke the registration, but no luck, and their phone trees are
        designed to prevent me from talking to anyone.  Anyone know the super
        secret email or abuse phone numbers?
