Does anyone on the list have knowledge or experience with regard to these systems? I am very tempted to go for it in order to enjoy what should be a kind of hardware overcapacity. The xeons are 2.0gHz L512s. Thanks ------------------------------ From: Brandon Ally Subject: RE: VIRUS ALERT (it's a hoax) Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2002 19:30:53 -0500 Synopsis The file jdbmgr.exe is actually a dangerous Microsoft Windows virus and deleting it will prevent it from spreading. See the warning here. Is it true? No, it is a hoax. Like the SULFBNK.EXE virus scare, this virus warning attempts to trick the unwary user into deleting a legitimate part of Microsoft Windows operating system. While the Urban Legend Zeitgeist waffled on whether the SULFBNK.EXE virus scare was a deliberate hoax or a just the product of a misundertanding, we won't be wishy-washy this time: it's a hoax. The virus scare trades on the presence of the Java Debugging Manager, jdbmgr.exe, that is a part of the Microsoft Windows operating system. While jdbmgr.exe can be a target of the W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus, the mere presence of jdbmgr.exe does not mean your computer has been infected. Unfortunately, it doesn't mean that it hasn't been infected. Popular anti-virus products offered by Symantec and McAffee are capable of detecting and removing the W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus but they aren't capable of restoring jdbmgr.exe if you have deleted it. To recap: The presence of a file named jdbmgr.exe does not mean your computer is infected with the W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus. The W32.Efortune.31384@mm becomes active immediately upon infecting a computer and does not lie dormant for fourteen days. Deleting any file named jdbmgr.exe will not remove the W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus nor will it restore any damage done by the virus. The W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus can infect a number of other Microsoft Windows systems files besides jdbmgr.exe. Popular antivirus programs such as Norton AntiVirus and McAffee VirusScan are capable of detecting and removing the W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus. Why? The email is debunked here. When? May 2002 Comments It's that sinister teddy bear icon that gives it all away. One thing to note, the Urban Legend Zeitgeist does not specialize in analysis of computer virus warnings. There are a number of sites that do, please see the links below.

The line that struck me as suspicious was: >> The virus is (called jdbmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or >> McAfee anti-virus systems. Usually these people are on top of real viruses! I suspected that jdbmgr.exe would be a file required by windows, and after you delete it, your system will break. But, in my case I didn't find it on my system. Perhaps it's a file used by another version of windows. In general, keep in mind that chain mail about viruses often *are* viruses, in one form or another. If you have a message that you're not sure about, you can go to Norton or McAfee's web sites and often learn about the latest hoaxes. --Gary ------------------------------ From: lorez Subject: Re: DAT-heads Digest #517 Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2002 20:17:13 -0500 Please please please please please LOOK IT UP before you fwd huge virus "warnings".

See this page for the truth: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/jdbgmgr.htm These hoax chain emails are often seen passed around AOL losers, resulting in people deleting necessary files and spamming the rest of the world. Do not forward these chain letters around unless there is a link to a reputable site that backs it up, like snopes, Mcafee, Norton... etc. The email chain letter is the virus itself... it results in people doing the damage themselves, deleting necessary files and emailing everyone in their address book. If you forwarded anyone else this crap, you should do them a favor and tell them that it is bologna. Sorry to post of topic, I just hate getting these emails, espicially on a list. Besides, I use Mac & Linux not the virus prone MS "OS". Peace.

I deleted it and rebooted without incident. You should have done what you usually do and ignore the email you received about the virus. It's a hoax. You've been had. jdbmgr.exe is a system file. Yes, of course you found it, it's supposed to be there. You've damaged your own operating system. You would be wise to replace the file to it's original location.

This virus warning that has been added to your digest #517 is a hoax. The file (jdbmgr.exe) is a file that is needed and shouldn't be deleted. The virus is actually the note being spamed all over the internet. We got this same warning and our company security administrator verified that is was a HOAX.... Everyone who receives this will find the file (WHICH IS A SYSTEM FILE) and think it is a virus. You have served as a vehicle to spread the virus not the cure!!!!!!! Anyone who has removed this file it should get it restored. GOOD LUCK.

Did anyone , by accident, get the entire show last night?? Did any other radio station (beside "Bayern 3) braodcast the entire show maybe and did anyone catch it (or any bigger part of the set??)

I use DDS a lot at work and home for data backups and have tons of tape so naturally I've tried this. My Sony PCM-M1 didn't mind it a bit as far as I could tell. The tape is even thinner still than DDS 90M, but the deck seemed to maintain the proper tension throughout. Everything seems to indicate to me that 120M DDS2 media is compatible (DDS machines have no problem interchanging the two, and the only mechanical difference AFAIK is a dual speed head in the DDS drives); however, I'd only do this if you REALLY REALLY need 4 hours non-stop for some reason (unattended radio broadcast comes to mind) and I would convert back as soon as possible. In short, I think the worst case would be a snapped tape due to thinner media and different tension requirements between DAT and DDS. YMMV. -- Wayne D.

Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2002 10:36:21 -0700 I'm hoping that someone out there can help me out with this. My deck is in need of repair and was unable to tape this show. I really would like to get a copy of this. ANY help is greatly appreciated. I don't have any cdr/dat copying capability but I do owe a bandwith tax. Here's what I'll do...I have 3 shows that are extra copies or I can make a copy from my master later. As such...I can only offer the single shows. It would be nice for the person(s) who get them to be willing to copy and offer them up as b&p's. Here's what's for grabs: 11/18/01 INCOMPLETE - The Mars Volta - Graceland Seattle 1cdr* *includes full show of Les Savy Fav from same day/venue ??/??/?? Neil Young* *This is a show I got in a b&p from Dan(?) at Am-dig. He offered it up earlier this year. I don't have source info. It was listed as a digi-soundboard show. Neil solo. 11/8/01 INCOMPLETE - Tool - Tacoma Dome 2 cdrs* (I'm missing the first 2&1/2 songs. I have a clean recording with little to NO CROWD noise. If you have the whole show...help a guy out? *the Neil show is from a dat source (I assume)...the other two shows are from MD but are very decent for such. _________________________________________________________________ Get faster connections -- switch to MSN Internet Access! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp ------------------------------ From: "Jo-Anne Chu" Subject: Sleater-Kinney & Yeah Yeah Yeahs recordings Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2002 17:52:10 +0000 Hello, I taped Sleater-Kinney & The Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Irving Plaza in NY (10/16/02) (CSC>M1) Also, taped Sleater-Kinney in Cleveland (10/12/02) Made great recordings!
