<< THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!!
A little while back I was browsing through newsgroups, just
like you are
now, and came across an article similar to this that said you
could make
thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial
investment of
$6.00! So I thought," Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but
like most
of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that
you send
$1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
article. You then
place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at
#6, and
post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are
thousands) No
catch, that was it. The first thing I thought of was that this
is a
common old 'pyramid' scheme (through the mail that I have
always thought
was BS and throw in the trash). However, after studying this,
I began to
see that this was quite different. (Reach 100s of thousands,
with very
little effort, very little invested, and totally legal). So
after
thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought
about
trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps
and $6.00,
right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little
worried
about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with
the U.S.
Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is
indeed legal!
Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!...within 7
days, I
started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it
would end
soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I
made about
$25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of
over
$1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's
still
growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of
just over
$42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly
worth $6.00,
and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let
me tell
you how this works and most importantly, why it
works.... also, make sure you print a copy of this article
NOW,
so you can get the information off of it, as you need it.
STEP 1:
Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
Piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING
LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of
the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the
envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each
of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed
envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
phrase,
your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing
is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail
the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1) Aaron T. Jessen
855 W. Harrison Blvd.
Valparaiso, IN 46385
#2)Mark Baker
P.O Box 78805
Atlanta, GA 30357-0805
#3) Leona Terry
7204 21a St. S.E.
Calgary, AB T2C 0V7
#4) Jeff Taylor
Apt. 911 5300 Rundlehorn Dr. N.E.
Calgary, AB T1Y 3V5
#5) Justin Todd
155 5th. St S.E.
Portage la Prairie, MB R1N 1H4
#6) Chris White
7634 24a St. S.E.
Calgary, AB T2C 0Z7
STEP 2:
Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above,
move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc..)
and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3:
Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to
original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is close to 24,000
groups) All
you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more
money you make!
---DIRECTIONS ----- HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS-----
Step 1)
You do not need to re-type this Entire letter to do your own
posting.
Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
drag your
cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from
the edit
menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer
memory.
Step 2)
Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top
of the
blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will
paste a copy
of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to
the list.
Step 3)
Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
your
postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file
to go back
to.
Step 4)
Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions.)
Step 5)
Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from
the edit
menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
everyone sees as
they scroll through the list of postings in a particular
group, click
the post message button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to
different
newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, and it
will take
about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE
NEWSGROUPS YOU
POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A
MINIMUM
OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around
the world
within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to
the large
amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay
anonymous, you can
invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it.
**JUST
MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5
replies (a
very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on
the
letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make
the
MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5
persons respond
to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now
those 25
each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5
replies each,
I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons
turn
around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only
receive 5
replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here
is the fun
part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters
with my name
at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
$3,125.
00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200
newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200
newsgroups
react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment
of only
$6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you
just take
the latest posting in the Newsgroups, and send out another
$6.00 to
names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And
start
posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that
thousands
of people all over the world are joining the internet and
reading these
articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford
$6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have
said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the
money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when
there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who
are joining the Internet and newsgroups everyday and are
willing
to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users,
every
day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet.
Remember, play
FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work >> >>

For the cases I know of, these either are specified in the executable (check
your linker documentation for how this is done) or by the OS, without looking
at the executable. For some OS, stack size may be changed by a shell command.

The text, data, and BSS segments (if they exist at all) are a function of
what compiler, machine and operating system that you are using. You might
try a compiler or operating specific newsgroup for an answer to your
question.

Hello, there.
I try to be reasonable about newsgroup spamming, but on this one, sorry
but I can't resist.
Come on, it looks like you're posting these messages specifically on
computer related forums(namely comp.lang.apl, comp.lang.ada, comp.lang.c)
I assume you're a person with some knowledge about computer language, or
at least have some sense of what they are, and what kind of people you're
dealing with. Thus I also assume you have more than average intelligence and
common sense.
Let alone the question that why bother wasting time on newsgroup since
you have already made tons of money, you should understand the people
you're dealing with are one of the highest intelligent people on the
surface of this planet. (I would refuse to say I am)
I can't help express my genuine anger when I saw your message on this
newsgroup, after having to deal with all sorts of junk mails and spams
all over the internet.
I request you to stop doing this exercise, at least on these newsgroups.
I'm not trying to imply anything but these people you're dealing with
could do lots of mysterious things over the internet packets.
Please be considerate. I do not want to see spams at least on comp.lang
newsgroups.
Thank you for your understanding.

Not generally, I don't think. I've always seen eg. stack size set in
the header to the executable, so the loader can set the stack up along
with all the other program areas when the program is loaded. It's often
a linker flag.
If you have a compiler on your system, you may also have an aout.h header
which gives you some details of this; tho' that's more common on Unix systems.

Note that the C language doesn't define any of the terms you use here.
They may have meaning under some C implementations but not under others.
>However when the program starts executing, what determines the size of
>stack segment and heap segment?
It is entirely up to the implementation in question. For example under an
OS I commonly use all data exists in the same segment however the "heap"
(malloc's workspace) grows up from the top of the program/static data and
the "stack" grown down from the 2GB point in the address space. The
system will dynamically extend each as necessary during the execution of
the program, until system resources are exhausted or they meet.
>I guess the OS (or kernel, whatever) is in charge of allocating them to

Any way it likes as long as the semantics of the source code are preserved.
Many allocate a fixed size of address space for stacks (especially when
the environment supports threads), although the memory isn't necessarily
allocated until used. Most try to avoid arbitrary limits on heap space.
However the only way to find out how a particular OS/compiler works is
to check its documentation or ask about it specifically (in the
appropriate newsgroup).
>Is it sort of proportional to the size of executable?
Not in my experience. Anyway the amound of data a program uses rarely
bears much relation to the code size; you can have very small programs
that use much more data space than much larger program.
