SHAWCOMPUTING.NET - Whois Information
ShawComputing.net: Computing Alternatives
This site is design to be a resource of computing alternatives. I try to cover operating systems that are not usually covered by your local IT/IS person (who most likely doesn't know that any other operating system other than Windows exist). I try to cover as much of the basics as I can, and information is always being added. The goal is for any of the platforms covered to be used as an acceptable primary computer system (that is you have a word processor, internet browser, image editor, PDA connection, and a few games as a base line usable systems). Because this site is in a constant state of construction, some areas may not get updated that often, while other are added to regularly. I'll try to spread the wealth, and get to all the areas as regularly as possible.

To improve performance of WHOIS service and to prevent its excessive high-volume use by a single source, we implemented a randomly generated Access Code that must be entered before running a WHOIS request.
The Access Code in the box is provided in graphics format. It has letters which are generated randomly and the symbol images are distorted. The distorted symbols cannot be read by computer programs which are used for mass-collect email addresses and any customer information. Only humans can read the distorted symbols and pass the access code.
The Access Code improves performance of our services. It prevents excessive high-volume use by a single source.
The services that require Access Codes are:
Whois – after entering the correct Access Code you can run 10 WHOIS requests before you will be prompted to enter a new Access Code.
Site Info – you can run 25 Site Info requests before you will be prompted to enter an Access Code.
Trace Route - you can run 20 Trace Route requests before you will be prompted to enter an Access Code.
RBL Check - you can run 20 RBL Check requests before you will be prompted to enter an Access Code.
What’s my IP - Access Code is not required for this service.
NOTE: We may modify Access Code policy at any time without notice on this web page.
