Fwd: Iran war plot
on April. 17, 2007 - the last day to file the tax return. The Feds expected me to file the tax return. Along with this there will be an attack on the Internet which is certain to take place. My revelation is too true to exist. Other possible events are, terror attacks to justify war on Iran and big natural disaster - possibly earthquake which will happen in Bay area, California. 628. Hong Kong as payment (3/7/2010) Hong Kong is part of the payment to China in this plot. 1. Five legislators of Hong Kong resigned early this year to call for a referendum to give public the voting power to elect the Administrator of Hong Kong. That is against the will of Chinese government. They prefer a puppet Administrator elected by an appointed delegate. Just at this time, the democratic party in Hong Kong splits. The effort of the five legislators fails. 2. A prominent dissident of Hong Kong - Si Tu Hua, who is famous for supporting the students of Ti An Men Square, was pronounced having cancer last month. All these were the work of the intelligence, I think. These are political payment. There is financial payment, too. Quote, "February 2, 2010, 03:46 PM ET Hong Kong Court Awards Wang Fortune to Foundation Following a nearly nine-month trial that gripped Hong Kong's news media and business world, a judge ruled today that the estate of Asia's wealthiest woman should go to the charity she founded rather than to her alleged lover, Bloomberg reports. The Chinese city's High Court upheld a 2002 will awarding Nina Wang's fortune -- estimated by Forbes to be $4.2-billion at the time of her death in 2007 and valued as high as $13-billion by Hong Kong news media -- to the family-run Chinachem Charitable Foundation. A 2006 will produced by Tony Chan, a feng shui master who claimed to have had an affair with Ms. Wang, was ruled invalid. Ms. Wang inherited billions from her husband, Teddy Wang, a property magnate who was declared legally dead in 1999, nine years after he was kidnapped." http://philanthropy.com/blogPost/Hong-Kong-Court-Awards-Wang/20999/ Teddy Wang, a billionaire, was kidnapped in 1990. His body was never found. After he was declared legally dead by the court, there was a fight for his wealth between Teddy Wang's father and Teddy Wang's wife - Nina Wang. (Teddy Wang and Nina Wang had no children) Nina Wang finally got the estate of Teddy Wang, though the court had judged she faked the will of her husband. Nina Wang signed a will in 2002 that the estate she owned would be given to "Chinachem Charitable Foundation" after her death. Charitable foundation is usually used as a cover up term for the organization of intelligence. The famous international speculator, Soros, operates with "charitable foundation". Nina Wang died of cancer on 4/3/2007. After her death, Tony Chan stood out to compete for her estate. Tony said he was a secret lover of Nina Wang and he held a will of her which was signed on 10/16/2006. Tony Chan also said the 2002 will was signed by Nina Wang as a tactic to get Chinese government to influence the court of Hong Kong to favor her in the inheritance case. The timing of case is coincidence with the framed drug case. On 9/21 to 9/23/2009, the lawyers of two parties gave the closing argument in court. That was the time of attempt Iran war. (see "612. War crisis in September (10/29/09)") The judge said the verdict would be given in the end of the year. That was coincident with another attempt of Iran war. In September crisis, Iran was given an ultimatum of three months. Anyhow, the plot didn't go through in December, so the verdict delayed too. On 2/2/2010, the Chinachem charitable foundation won the case but still couldn’t touch the estate. The judge didn't give any order on the inheritance process. Legally, Tony Chan might appeal before 2/28. Now the judge approves to extend that appeal date for one more month. What for? I think they are waiting for the result of March plot. (see "626. Iran war - Part of the March plot (2/21/2010)") China has to do some service to receive the payment. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "totse" group.

I'm not entirely sure on this because your experience has typically been mine, but I would think multifunction printers with wireless networking support builtin would also support wireless scanning. A friend of mine actually has a ethernet enabled multifunction printer and it does support scanning over the network which is really nice. So in short, it seems to me that any multifunction printer with some sort of networking builtin should support scanning over that interface.

The battery hasn't been much of a issue so far so I haven't had to check and see if it's something generic or proprietary but it's good to know that most likely the only thing I won't be able to replace is the unit itself which so far, seems like it'll outlast the battery. -- Best Regards, John Musbach -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Terminal is kinda over my head. Sure, it's: cp -R src dest, where src and dest are full directory paths.

Re: File transfer not happening
That's why when doing big transfers like this I tend to use Terminals cp because it is significantly more robust then finder and will continue despite errors and will display where exactly it ran into trouble along the way so once it's finished you can go back and investigate the problematic files/folders.

Re: To Journal or not
I would strongly recommend you enable joirnaling because not all filesystem changes are written to the physical HD medium until shutdown but are tentatively recorded in the journal which helps prevent data loss in the event of unexpected shutdowns. If there's no journaling and a unexpected shutdown occurs there's a better chance of data loss than were journaling enabled.

I came to my conclusion when I was working on setting up the wireless network for my family at home. I noticed that the only higher power antennas I could find for my (now out of date) airport extreme base station were directional so I assumed that to mean that directionality was a function of power. I tried looking for omnidirectional higher power antennas for the airport extreme but I must've been looking in the wrong places because I couldn't seem to find any at the time. -- Best Regards, John Musbach -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Aha, that must be why I can't recall ever seeing that option in recent years. Great to know that Mac OS X still has that functionality, could be handy for a impromptu fax machine should I ever need one rather than falling back on paying monthly fees for a email fax service I'll hardly ever use. -- Best Regards, John Musbach -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Oh ok, I meant more like a software solution for allowing people to dialin and send you faxes which are then saved on your computer automatically. I know Windows 9x came with such a solution and I believe Mac OS 9 had similar software based solutions but I don't know if Mac OS X comes with such a solution or if a 3rd party one is available? It seems like with the decline of modems and faxes in general there is little demand for such software and as a result little to no selection for such a application, although ultimately I guess one of the email fax services would work if one was looking for a solution of this type and could not find proper software for their OS. -- Best Regards, John Musbach -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

In other words, no it's not legit. They're taking pirated copies of software and selling it for pure illegitimate profit. You won't be able to get support for your software, obtain updates, and you may not even be able to use a registration key instead having to resort to a crack to get around the software's antipiracy measures.

Oh noes, it's also still present in all the mirrored archives as well (e.g. http://www.mail-archive.com/g3-5-list@googlegroups.com/msg15332.html), whatever will we do?! Realistically with such a method of communication like this, there is no way to delete a message once it has been sent because even if you can delete it from the main archive it'll still have been sent to all email subscribers and it'll appear in any mirroring archives regardless. The only way you can really control this is on a per person basis, and that means deleting the emails you don't want, creating filters for constant nuisances, and ultimately unsubscribing if the majority of the list postings are not useful to you. So really, although the nannies are doing their best to keep things under control (and they're doing a pretty good job at doing so) they can truly only do preventative measures--there is very little that can be done after the fact but they can do preventative maintenance after the fact to help prevent a recurrence both from the offending poster and from other posters as well which is what they've been doing by posting FAQs and warnings publicly to the list.

If you know how to speak their language and can afford the long distance fees you could contact the technical representitive directly but ultimately you'll probably get a better response by reporting to opendns their clients use of their services as a spam relay as not only will they be able to communicate in a more professional and direct manner most likely to get a response but they can immediately suspend the clients services as another way to quickly invoke a response and ensure a quick and efficient resolution. -- Best Regards, John Musbach -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

According to the data you provided, the spam email was relayed through vms169131.mailsrvcs.net whose IP address is 67.215.65.132 which when whois'd through arin.net's IP database returns that that server is owned by OpenDNS. The sender, whose IP is 192.223.124.145 lives in Brazil and it appears either a rogue employee is sending spam or one of the company's machines (more likely) has become infested with malware as that IP returns: owner: Industrias Gessy Lever Ltda ownerid: BR-IGLL1-LACNIC address: Av.

So my best guess as to what's going on is that "Industrias Gessy Lever Ltda" is a client of OpenDNS with one of their hosted solutions, and there is a internal issue (likely malware) that is attaching itself to the appliance and using it as a spam relay. To get the most likely reaction and action against this act, I would report it to OpenDNS as the problem is coming from one of their clients. > How do people get our e-mail addresses from the G3-G5 list? If you google "g3-5-list archive" you can see that there are multiple archives of this list being maintained apart from the google groups archive, it is possible that one of those archives does not censor email addresses contained in emails sent to the list. It is also possible that a service you at one point subscribed to sold your email address or even that at some point you became victim to a piece of malware that harvested your email address. So in short, although it is possible that your email address was harvested from one of the g3-5-list archives, it is also likely (perhaps more so even) that a service you subscribed to sold your address to spammers or a piece of malware harvested it at one point in time (if you ever used Windows). -- Best Regards, John Musbach -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

As nice as unobtrusive text ads and static graphic banners are they do not bring in nearly as much money as the obtrusive ads you're referring to. The unobtrusive ad formats can be used in conjunction with the obtrusive but unobtrusive ads can no longer make a website profitable on it's own, the end of free ISPs and unlimited hosts like xoom marked rye end of that period. -- Best Regards, John Musbach -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Seriously, disk space, bandwidth, and computing power, even today, is very expensive--if you can't financially support the websites you use then you shouldn't be expecting the service they provide you in exchange. I hate people who steal financially from those who rely on ad revenue to stay afloat with ad blockers.
