  1. FYI: I just updated spybot 1.4, and it hung before it finished, also. Maybe the site? Also, Eraser is pretty good, with or without Spybot.
  2. I haven't seen this on here, might have missed it. Cute site, neat, not too useful but neat. Make your own warning labels: http://www.warninglabelgenerator.com/ This one is in honor of Hazelnut.

    Time Out

    Thanks. 'Till later, then.
  4. Thanks. On the way there now.
  5. Very nice words, kiwibryn. 911 changed the world. Caused pain for many who don't deserve it and a tremendous loss of innocence. Not me, I didn't lose anyone and haven't been innocent for a long time, but for many.
  6. Thanks for the kind words. I gotta get into this "hosts file" business, never fooled with it before. Can I just trust good ole Spybot to an effective hosts file in for me?
  7. Wow, CeeCee's is fast. This one not so fast, but still faster'n I am.
  8. In SpyBot 1.4 you had to insert or remove the Spybot hosts file manually, and each time Spybot made a .backup file. The second picture shows Spybot in "Advanced" mode, with "tools", "Hosts File' ticked. At the top are the Add or Remove buttons. You can remove those extra backups by just deleting the files with the .backup extension (the ones in the hosts folder, that is). Below is a picture of mine, as soon as I log off here I will remove the .backups that were made today and put in a "real" hosts file. Better wait 'till Andavari confirms this, he knows a lot more about this than I do.
  9. Chairman of Sun Microsystems agreed with you in 1999. He kicked up a storm by saying: "You have zero privacy anyway," Scott McNealy told a group of reporters and analysts Monday night at an event to launch his company's new Jini technology. "Get over it." quote is found here http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/1999/01/17538
  10. This came around a while back, and just now again. As I recall this is a professional photographer in a tundra buggy. Too close for comfort.
  11. True, but I bet we can bargain with on the asking price.... Going out back right now to dig up one or two of those coffee cans full of doubloons.
  12. Thanks for the heads up. Got it.
  13. No, I got the thumbnail of the ostrich on xs.to, but not until I went to "my files" and entered the user ID. On ImageAnnex, I got the manic chicken by entering the link to the upload session. No Google ad. Gonna replace that chicken. . . . . .chicken's gone
  14. Anthony A, you did, in fact. Thanks for the information. I was trying to remember some other untoward consequence of allowing the computer to hibernate. . .I seem to remember that mine was in the middle of something, I was not attending it, and it nodded off. . .not sure, my brain is slowing down faster than Windows 98.
  15. OK, maybe I have one on imageannex. If so, below is the link. Well, that worked too. Does that gyrating chicken violate any rules? It certainly annoys me, and I put it there. edit: hyperkinetic chicken has been replaced by serene ducks, if I did this right. . . Well, CeeCee and Andavari, you were both right, good hosting sites, obviously simple to use ImageShack FAQ says: "You do not have to delete a picture that you no longer use. We have plenty of hard drive capacity to accommodate your needs. However, if you really want us to remove your image(s), contact us via email." Also, you apparently have to keep the link to each?? of your images.
  16. OK, maybe I have one on xs.to. If so, below is the link. New to this, hope this goes to the right place. edit: So far, so good. . . edit 2: CeeCee, you were right, xs.to easy enough for even me, offers clearly explained choices.
  17. Thank you, Rridgely. Good information, worth reading.
  18. Glad you're back. edit: Some of the freeware posts listed below. A good looking hard disk manager, still free I think: Http://www.computeractive.co.uk/partitionmanager/index A nice system scanner, but it tries to phone somebody if you're on the net when you run a scan: http://www.runscanner.net/download.aspx CCleaner v. 2 works great: http://www.CCleaner.com/ That's all I know. . .didn't take long, huh.
  19. CeeCee, why is that? I agree, and have mine disabled, did it for a reason, don't remember why. Some disaster, I think.
  20. What a hoot. But ya gotta read those EULAS, people. . .
  21. I must say the do-rag makes the outfit.

    RunScanner

    ver. 1.0.3.0 is out. download and changelog is: http://www.runscanner.net/download.aspx It kind of grows on you. . . .but as far as I can tell, it does try to phone home/microsoft/somebody if you are on the 'net when you run a scan.
  23. Thanks very much. Great program. Handier'n a pocket on a shirt.
  24. I like CCleaner for what it does, as opposed to what it doesn't do. It gets rid of a bunch of useless stuff, frees up space.
