Comment on Don’t buy the “LitterMaid Plus” by adam

well if you need an a/c adaper (i lost mine during a move) then you are on your own. ushually products that require an ac adapter tell you next to the plung in location the voltage and they have a polerisation symbol. this is how you can match the plugs. well its not on my litter maid, and when i called littermaids customer service they said that i should look for one that was 120 volts. this is when i had to inform her that every ac adaper made for the united stated is 120 volt. they did tell me that it may also say k-tec on it but that they were not sure. now i know that it is 12v because it takes 8 batteries, but i need to know the polerisation. But hey i cant complain, they offered to sell me a brand new one for 22.90. i think ill just go to the store, look at the adapter specs and then buy a universal one for 8 bucks at radio shack. i will most definatly look at other products before attempting to purchase again.

The two pieces of software that I use are:

Bad Behavior http://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/

This inspects the details of the request itself to determine if it is a robot. Also, this will help slow down request that come too fast

portsentry http://sourceforge.net/projects/sentrytools

This will automatically block any computers that attempt to port scan the server

I don’t think this has anything to do with toyota either - I’m getting the same (honda in portland, 4 years ago). Hate these people and hope that the whole lot of then goes to jail.

Thanks for the tip. Didn’t know about logwatch; seems like one of those programs that should come installed as part of every self-respecting distro. Installed it and made it happy reviewing lighttd’s logs; woohoo!

I’ve been getting these calls as well. Dumb scams, I don’t even have a car nor even have a license.

Oddly enough, I’ve been getting these calls lately as well. The problem is that I never gave my dealership (Elk Grove Buick) this number, nor have I ever given it to Toyota or Wachovia, the holder of my vehicle’s title.

I’m inclined to agree with SantaClaraLife. This is completely random and has little to nothing to do with your dealership, or whether you even actually own a car.
