Are there limits for sending mail?

Gmail has a number of sending limits in place to prevent abuse of our system, and to help fight spam. If you reach one of Gmail’s limits, you’ll be temporarily unable to send mail. This limit is generally removed within 24 hours.Causes include, but are not limited to:

  • Sending a message to more than 500 recipients.You can send a single message to a maximum of 500 recipients through the web interface, or up to 100 recipients when using POP access. Their email addresses can be distributed among the To, Cc, and Bcc fields. If you communicate with the same group of people on a regular basis, you might be interested in Google Groups.
  • Sending a large number of undeliverable messages.We suggest verifying your contacts’ email addresses. Make sure the email addresses you’re sending mail to are valid. It’s also important that everyone you are sending mail to is willing to receive it.

Web Wayback Machine

Web Archive

The Internet Archive is a complete snapshot of all web pages on every website since 1996 till today. Since the average lifetime of a page on the Internet is 100 days, this snapshot is retaken every two months. The Internet Archive at BA includes the web collection of 1996 to 2006. It represents 1.5 petabytes of data stored on 880 computers. The entire collection is available for free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public.

Wayback Machine:

The Wayback Machine is the tool that allows users to use the Web archive to surf the web as it was. This historic collection is invaluable to scholars trying to understand the interactions between people and events. We expect to build special collections that reflect the interests of the patrons of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

Testing PORTS

The below debug routine will check the ports of the computer to allow you to know if ports are being detected or not.

Type debug to get to the “-”

Type D40:0

You should get several lines; however, the first line is the only important line, which should read the following:

0040:0000 F8 03 F8 02 E8 03 E8 02 – 78 03 78 02 BC 03

F8 03

F8 02

E8 03

E8 02

78 03

78 02

BC 03
COM1 COM2 COM3 COM4 LPT1 LPT2 LPT3

The above graph shows you what the feed back means as far as port, so if you see F8 03, this would be an indication that COM1 is being detected; if you see 00 00, this is an indication that it is not being detected, which could mean that hardware is bad or that it is disabled in CMOS.

Once you have finished looking at the information, type Q and press enter to get out of Debug.

Junk Sleep

Too many teenagers are damaging their health by not getting enough sleep and by falling asleep with electrical gadgets on, researchers say.

A third of 12 to 16-year-olds asked slept for between four to seven hours a night. Experts recommend eight hours.

The Sleep Council, which conducted the poll of 1,000 teenagers, says gadgets in bedrooms such as computers and TVs are fuelling poor quality “junk sleep”.

Youngsters need to be taught that sleep is important for their health, it said.

Almost a quarter of the teens surveyed admitted they fell asleep watching TV, listening to music or with other equipment still running, more than once a week.

Nearly all had either a phone, music system or TV in their bedroom, and two thirds had all three.

Among 12 to 14-year-old boys, nearly three in five (58%) had a phone, music player, TV and games console in their bedroom.

While 40% of the teens said they were often tired during the day, just 10% placed much importance on getting a good night’s sleep.
