Scuba Forum / General / February 2008DVD is awesome
First off, I don't get a commission. If your looking for underwater DVD for off season, check out these guys. http://hd2o.tv Found it online and just got it this stuff is like art with music. No lessons, travel info, boat rides involved. Entirely underwater. They're cool, so thought I'd pass the word. T > First off, I don't get a commission.

You're posting from Las Vegas... Not related, huh? Likely story... I'll take some green eggs with the spam...

Can you tell me how you can tell he's posting from Las Vegas. I've often wondered how you can work that out - I can't see where you see it. ta Hoges in wA > Can you tell me how you can tell he's posting from Las Vegas.

Go to somewhere like "www.geoiptool.com" and plug it in... Just like when I plug your IP address from your headers (124.182.56.41), I find out that you (or at least your ISP) is located in Perth, Western Australia... http://www.geoiptool.com/en/?IP=124.182.56.41 SignatureSee NNTP header field "X-Real-Email-Address" to reply by email. >> Can you tell me how you can tell he's posting from Las Vegas.

I'm off to play with my new bit of knowledge. With regards to mine, I'm actually about 180kms south of Perth but that's probably where Telstra runs the main servers. Hoges in WA > With regards to mine, I'm actually about 180kms south of Perth but that's > probably where Telstra runs the main servers. Within 180 kms, that's pretty close... Actually, it is probably the location of the company's administration offices instead of the actual server farm... It's not perfect, but it works well enough to know where someone is located in a very general manner... It gets within 25 miles of where I really am...

Used to be more accurate when people were on dial up iirc well it was for my address. I'm now listed as Melbourne which is about 750 kms to the South so you are correct in suggesting that sometimes the company's Admin centre is listed. > I'm now listed as Melbourne which is about 750 kms to the South so you > are correct in suggesting that sometimes the company's Admin centre is > listed. 750 kms? That's a bit off... It pretty much narrows it down to the *country* at least... <grin> SignatureSee NNTP header field "X-Real-Email-Address" to reply by email. >> I'm now listed as Melbourne which is about 750 kms to the South so you >> are correct in suggesting that sometimes the company's Admin centre is >> listed. > > 750 kms?

Going East - west , Sydney to Perth ( neither of which are the most easterly/Westerly places it is ) it is about 3 200 kms say 2000miles. Land area is just a bit smaller the continental USA ( excluding Alaska I think ). There a few uninteresting facts about Australia > not quite, from Cape York ( top of Queensland ) to Melbourne ( which isn't > quite the bottom of Victoria ) is about 3 500 kms.

For further information http://www.dfat.gov.au/facts/kangaroos.html On 8 February 2008 at 13:04:45 (Canberra time), the resident population of Australia is projected to be: 21 205 932 >> Can you tell me how you can tell he's posting from Las Vegas.

Stuffed if I know. I run Linux and either Firefox or Konquerer Firefox likes it just fine. It's a bit out of whack re the locations. Last I checked, the house was in Southeast Melbourne. The site tells me I'm in Boondall, Qld. Either I'm not in Kansas anymore, or Internode doesn't allocate their fixed addresses particularly geographically. Further, I checked the headers of my posts and noticed that there's no NNTP-Posting-Host line. Ah, well. Too bad the address isn't right -- warm water all year... WooHoo! But I guess it really isn't that cold here. (9C 48F is the worst I've seen) But an interesting toy, none-the-less. I've always used the "follow the money" approach to tracking spam. I operate on the assumption that the people who are really behind the spam are likely to be at or near the web site they're sending you to, assuming that the spam is selling something or is a Nigerian con or whatever. (Pump-and-Dumps are a different matter, though.) > It starts up, shows what looks like a GoogleEarth map of WA then > crashes with the message that IE couldn't display the page. > > Don't know what's doing it?? > > Hoges in WA <snip> As a side note... Not every news provider puts the IP address in the NNTP headers and some do not reflect where the user is actually located... There are some anonymous proxy servers that some people use that hide their real IP addresses... SignatureSee NNTP header field "X-Real-Email-Address" to reply by email. |
