From the command line, type "tracert ThePirateBay.org", or on Linux or a Mac, "traceroute ThePirateBay.org".
The punchline can also be discovered by typing "nslookup 83.140.176.146".

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In Windows, open a DOS window and type 'tracert thepiratebay.org' or whatever.
In Linux, Unix and OS X, open a terminal window and do the same, except I think you use 'traceroute' instead.
eta: x-post. I shoulda' known it took me way too long to find that out....

Interesting article about VoIP services.
The BBB says it has collected 1088 complaints against Vonage (which operates the largest Net phone service, with 1.6 million customers in the United States and Canada) in the past 12 months. During the same time period, Verizon fielded 1039 complaints filed against its landline service--though it manages 48.8 million phone lines nationwide. Another VoIP provider, BroadVoice, is the eighth-most-complained-about company in eastern Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont, according to the BBB office serving those areas.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It needs Bluetooth.

Can anyone recommend a clock for Windows XP? Preferably translucent.
(I miss the clock that came with Windows 3.x. You could make the clock as big as you wanted - at one job I had a second computer that I almost never used, so I just made the clock fill the whole screen and left it that way.)

Does anyone here use Compressor 2? I'm trying to test its standards conversion capabilities, and the damn thing keeps crashing. This is on a dual 2Ghz computer with 2.5GB RAM.
Searching "Compressor crash" and "Compressor close" on the Apple support site yields no results, so apparently this sort of thing Just Doesn't Happen. Any advice?
[eta that I've found a few relevant discussions in the Apple forums, but nobody seems to have ANSWERED any of them, so not very helpful.]

I know it shouldn't, but it cracks me up that the 3XL size is backordered.
