A Solution – The Shorter Version

Phil Osborn  07/06/12, 11/16/13

(Note: I DO appreciate the ~200 comments so far, but how can I possibly read them all?  I have tried to skim or sample from the existing logjam of comments, but it will clearly take most of a day to sort through.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to deal with this so that important information is not lost and spam or completely new threads can be bypassed?  Thanks...   ...

On Neowin, Brad Sams has notified on some ugly news:

“Over two million passwords for Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others have been posted to the web after a botnet has infected thousands of machines and used a keylogger to obtain passwords. While this breach is not from any particular service, the botnet has clearly been running effectively for some time as it reportedly has over 2 million passwords, 300,000 of which are for Facebook accounts.”

Guys, I hope this isn't considered spam.  

 

I got a great half price deal on this and I love it, so I wanted to tell you guys, in case someone else wanted the discount.

 

It's a nice Bluetooth keyboard/stand for any tablet. I use it with my iPad and my Android. It's at less than half price from the MFG. and sells at Staples for double what I paid!

 

Listed at $129.99, I paid $39.99.  Staples dot com has it at $79.99.

I am going to be doing...absolutely nothing but gaming and programming. I will be loving every second of it. WOOT!!! 

I just finished my finals. It's been a rough last few months with plenty of ups (including BlizzCon), some major letdowns, and a ton of homework. But I have a couple days where I'm gonna smell because I am not doing a damn thing including taking a shower...I kid, my wife will never let me get away with that. I picked up EU4 and I've decided on a game programmi...

One of the masters of DesktopX has a birthday today. She helped keep it alive for awhile longer by writing new scripts for the weather widgets and gadgets.

Happy Birthday, Eve--may it be a good one.

Hi all,

I just recently purchased Fences Pro and love how I can use it to organize my desktop.  This program is super cool.

One of the little annoyances I have found with it, though, is something I simply cannot believe was left out!  Quite a few of my icon labels are cut off on the left side of it's containing fence, so I looked through all the options to see if I could find an alignment option only to find that this option is nowhere to be found.  Center aligning my fe...

Anybody know anything about dogs? 

About 6 months ago i found this lab/pit mix, beautiful dog at the local animal shelter. He was on the chopping block for the end of the month and was a year and a half old. So we grabbed him so he wouldn't be axed. 

The previous owner apparently knew a few things about dogs, the dog sits, speaks, lays down and stays about 10 feet from the front door when you enter until the door is closed. 

Turns out he totally LOVES water like no ot...

Millions of people who shopped at Target on or around Black Friday (Thanksgiving through December 6th) have probably had their Credit/Debit card info compromised. The Secret Service is investigating.

Apparently some 40,000,000 people may be affected.

You had to have physically shopped at a Target store to have this happen to you.

Please check tour credit/debit report everyday. The longer you let it go, the less likely any fraudulent charges will be forgiven.

Quite simple:  I start off with 2 words.  The next person keeps one of the words and replaces the dropped word with another.

Examples:  Run fast

                 Fast cars

                 Cars rock

My word to start:  Christmas holiday

Here is how it works.  I am going to give 5 letters.  It can be a word or just random letters.  You have to make a sentence from the letters I gave you and then you give 5 letters to the next person.

Example:    mbdgw

                 My big dog gained weight

Beginning research into what PC resources I need to produce decent quality videos (with sound) for distribution on the web: probably YouTube and or my blogs. Also interested in doing a once a week web radio show. Any one with quality advice on what resources (software/hardware/web-ware) I might explore. Search results on the web bring back so much... and I cannot tell the chaff from the wheat. Thanks in advance.

The Guardian put out news of some interesting research.

What we always felt instinctively is true. Men are wired for perception and coordinated action (as you’d expect in a hunter) while women are wired for social skills and memory. This can be seen in the more numerous links between the right and left sides of the brain in females as opposed to males.

The neural maps (connectome maps) were observed using diffusion tensor MRI imaging. Here are the maps (men in blue women in...

Not online yet, but here’s something extensive…potentially great and potentially confusing. All-in-all, good.

So, what is it? It’s a scanner you download. It then takes a snapshot of all the active files in use, and those with the ability to automatically execute by means of an auto-start procedure (like an extension, task, etc.). This report is (supposed) to be stripped of any identifiers and is sent to Project herdProtect for analysis.
