Specialty Technical Publishers

Has anyone else has run into these scumbags? Sometime last winter I received a call along the lines of "We'd like to send you some materials to review". Well, they sent some "Internet Law encyclopedia" along with an invoice for ~$700. Of course, there was no cost mentioned in the sales call- for all I knew they were going to send me a brochure about their product. I can say with 100% certainty that I would never have authorized them to send me something like this had they mentioned the cost without much further discussion as to what I was receiving. This is just a general heads-up to a sleazy business practice for a sleazy company that is now attempting to extort money.

Blocked port 25?
by Byron L.Hicks 20 Aug '04

20 Aug '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In the last couple of days, I have received complaints from customers not able to receive email from certain sites. From these sites, I can't connect to our mail server, on other sites, I can. We have tried sending email, and we have also tried telnet on port 25 to the server. I can't seem to find a correlation. There is no firewall on our network. We have an access list to filter port 25, but this server is allowed. Our mail server is also our DNS server. From the sites that I can't connect to our server on port 25, I can query the DNS server using nslookup and get a response. I tried tcptraceroute from one of the sites where I have a unix account, but it is behind a firewall, and it dies after the first hop. I'm stumped. Any suggestions. Byron L.

Public access Wi-Fi after Hurricane Charley
by Sean Donelan 20 Aug '04

20 Aug '04

Wi-Fi emerges as emergency communications alternative in Fla. Some cellular carriers are still struggling with power outages News Story by Bob Brewin AUGUST 19, 2004 (COMPUTERWORLD) - Public access Wi-Fi hot spots have become a key communications alternative in Florida in the wake of Hurricane Charley, with the local franchisee of Panera Bread Co. reporting a 50% increase in traffic for the free Wi-Fi service it offers in 34 outlets in the state. [...] The widespread power outage hit cellular service in some parts of the state. Verizon Wireless had only 80% of its cell sites operating in the Orlando area due to power outages and 97% of its network operating in southwest Florida, according to a company spokesman. Verizon Wireless, based in Bedminster N.J., had backup generators to keep the service up and running, but by today they "started to run out of gas," the spokesman said. The Sprint PCS division of Sprint Corp. avoided that problem by ensuring that it had third-party fuel contracts in place as part of a business continuity plan, according to John Quigley, Sprint's director of network operations. Sprint had 200 generators in place in Florida as of Monday, moving in some from as far away as Chicago, Quigley said. As of today, 98% of the Sprint PCS network in Florida was operational, up from 94% yesterday and 91% on Tuesday, Quigley said. Cingular Wireless in Atlanta deployed 80 generators in Florida to ensure continuity of operations and on Tuesday started offering free emergency calls at its 22 retail outlets in Florida. http://www.computerworld.com/mobiletopics/mobile/wifi/story/0,10801,95362,0… T-Mobile offers free Wi-Fi in Charley's wake Cellular companies are ready to bolster coverage, if needed News Story by Bob Brewin AUGUST 14, 2004 (COMPUTERWORLD) - T-Mobile USA Inc. said last night it would offer free wireless Internet connections through Monday at the roughly 300 Wi-Fi hot spots it operates in Florida in the wake of Hurricane Charley. [...] Nationwide cellular carriers said they had ample resources in place to ensure service to customers in the aftermath of the storm. Cingular Wireless in Atlanta said in a statement that its switching centers have backup emergency generators. Cell sites have high-capacity battery backups, and some have emergency generators, ensuring a secure source of power, if needed. Cingular also has pre-positioned self-contained mobile cell sites, known as Cellular on Wheels Systems (COWS), which can be towed or driven into a disaster area to provide extra call capacity or to restore communications in an area with downed or knocked-out cellular towers. Sprint Corp. in Overland Park, Kan., said in a statement that its Sprint PCS division has also set up COWS in Florida to help with network recovery efforts if needed. Verizon Wireless, in Bedminster, N.J., said it also has its own fleet of COWS and Cells On Light Trucks that can be quickly rolled into a disaster area to provide extra network capacity. Verizon Wireless, in a statement, also noted that it conducted a nationwide disaster preparation drill earlier this year which simulated how it would handle a Florida hurricane. Verizon Wireless said more than 80% of its transmission sites in Florida have their own back up generators. It also has mobile generators available, should they be needed. http://www.computerworld.com/securitytopics/security/recovery/story/0,10801…

As being someone that occasionally does the same kind of thing (and considers the few dollars spent entertainment, not investment), don't lose sleep over it. Although I do expect some people to visit georgebushsucks.com and johnkerrysucks.com, only in your wildest dreams anybody but search bots is ever going to visit SpecialtyTechnicalPublishersSucks.com (or goldengatevwsucks.com or haywardvwsucks.com) out of the blue. You will indeed get some non-bots hits on the site but they will all come from search engines or cross-links and none from people typing SpecialtyTechnicalPublishersSucks.com in their browser out of the blue. You would get the same number of hits on http://home.myISP.com/~mlewinski/SpecialtyTechnicalPublishersSucks.html. > Sooner or later someone will have the time and resources to > fight them all the way- perhaps I can lend some ammo. IMHO this someone is the BBB (I do use it to qualify customers). Unrelated and even more off-topic, www.resellerratings.com has worked good for me too. > Owen DeLong wrote: > Ah...
