Oooooooooh Yeah!!

Bill,
Code? I thought I was talking un-encoded.

Actually I think everytime we copy a file from the archive site they get an e-mail sent to themselves. I need to have a script person look it over but every htm file I looked had a little java script added to it with a date and timestamp. If they had any evilness to them we would all now be infected with worms and trojans and our hard drives would all be erased and who knows what else. Did anybody notice your cursor change to a red circle with a line through it for a second or two?

I dont want to scare anybody but lock the doors you may be getting a visit from the geek squad. :D
Any java gods in here?
I'll have it checked tomorrow. I highlighted the suspected problem in red
TTYL
Larry




here is the script------

Thanks Larry,
I feel relieved now, and I just hate wearing that tin hat to bed, but you gotta be cautious if you surf the net.

Did you get to see the Iditarod when you went to Alaska?

TTYL,

Bill
 
I had the java script checked out and its harmless. It does not send emails.
Its used to translate links from the old addresses to the new archive addresses. Clever folks.
It is appended to the original each time the file is accessed of copied.
Makes the links work.

So I spent all night building a lead shield for my CPU for nothing? Dang again. Well, it is good to know anyway.

I will still warn folks not to publish this stuff to the web, other than the original link. That could be construed as infringement if someone chose to pursue it.

Printed copies for personal reference should be harmless. Pity the guy who sells them on eBay, as someone undoubtably will.

Thanks for the link Bill, and for the info Larry.:thumbup:
 
I don't have a mail client installed so when I use "mailto" I get an error message or a dialog box to configure OUTLOOK, I did not get any messages from the archive so I assumed it was safe, I did a lot of browsing around.

I find this very interesting and I am surprised that I never heard about it before. Here's a Wikipidea article about the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine:

I was playing around with the time machine and found the schrade kious and schrade barnett. It said there were only 1000 of each made, but I was wondering if anyone has either of them. They look absolutely amazing and was hoping someone would have more pics.
 
What happened to the site.I went there just now and there only showing 3 dates.I wonder what happened to the rest.Toby
 
They're all still there on mine as well, have you tried going through the link Bob posted?
