The installer for Desktop iCalendar Lite is NASTY. Very tricky and confusing and likely to install a bunch of crapware if you don't pay attention and read everything very carefully. After unselecting the crapware and clicking next, you get a popup that asks if you are sure that you don't want it. The proper response is to click cancel, not OK. Then it offers you another crapware item and does the same thing, only how to unselect it is a bit more confusing. You have to select the advanced option, then uncheck all the checkboxes there, then it does the same thing as before with the popup trying to get you to change your mind, to which "cancel" is the correct option. ("Better Installer" my ass!)

Seems like that should say plugin, not pluging
Anal as always

Hi App,
can you explain what happens when you select a bunch of stuff and hit "send-to-zipped folder"? That's all I do to create zips out of something. So if that somehow creates a thumbs.db file, can you advise what I should be doing instead?-TaoPhoenix (April 25, 2013, 01:42 PM)
Krishean mentioned to me how much fun it is to look inside those Thumbs.db files with file recovery tools and find thumbnails that the original owner probably had no idea that they were sharing with the world.
So, for windows users, including those Thumbs.db files in a zip could be a privacy/security issue, too.-app103 (April 25, 2013, 09:29 AM)
Could someone post some suggestions on how to do this? I never really understood the scope of Thumbs.db files (they're sorta magically something Windows does right?) Is there a simple viewer program that can look at them?-TaoPhoenix (April 25, 2013, 01:40 PM)

Shame on us for not catching this a month ago when it was first reported, but it seems that two of the biggest caching plugins in WordPress have what we would classify a very serious vulnerability – remote code execution (RCE), a.k.a., arbitrary code execution:
…arbitrary code execution is used to describe an attacker’s ability to execute any commands of the attacker’s choice on a target machine or in a target process. – Wikipedia
It appears that a user by the name of kisscsaby first disclosed the issue a month ago via the WordPress forums. As of 5 days ago both plugin authors have pushed new versions of their plugins disabling the vulnerable functions by default. The real concern however is the seriousness of the vulnerability and the shear volume of users between both plugins.

Don't see one (1) here ... yet, anyway. So moderation is out of the scope of this thread.

Seems that two (2) cups a day aids some physical/mental functionality. Been trying to find it ever since. The actual paper - at least the part that was published - described the benefits, but, of course, I read it, thought, "Hey that's good," and promptly ditched it.

(Note: Switching to a decaf blend isn't the simple answer either. I've tried many, and there's a noticeable difference in flavor. And unfortunately, on blindfold tests (I told you I tried! I really did!) I've ended up favoring the caffeinated blends almost single every time.)-40hz (April 22, 2013, 03:21 PM)
Don't you no theirs know difference between there and they're? I hope this answers you're question. If sew, your welcome.-Deozaan (April 19, 2013, 04:20 PM)
4. Quick "Anti-Meltdown Emergency" tip! It's okay to have Medium Goals! When enough stuff gets all involved and keeps spawning more and more 1. C. 5. d. 3. subnotes, at the bottom of the page just use the blue pen and write "*partial list only - revisit this later when half processed and figure out more stuff later!" So for example just grind out a bunch of nitty gritty stuff, then let May's problem be May's problem, not February's problem! It's okay to have another page later in the notebook! February's page has February's junk on it, you fudged March so by April it's okay to be 15 pages later in the notebook. Just close out Feb's "Result ______ lines", copy the three leftover ones, and put it to the grave and hold a nice funeral and hope it doesn't become a zombie!-TaoPhoenix (April 21, 2013, 07:55 AM)
| Corporate | Adventurer | |
| destination | must have a specific place to go and time to be there and have it marked out on your map | Who cares? Destination is not important. It's all about the trip! |
| route | must have one planned and marked on the map | This road looks good. Nice and long. I wonder where it goes. Start here, don't plan any further than you can see, and go that way--> |
| accommodations | mark on the map each motel you will be staying at each night, call and make reservations before trip | keep the back seat of the car clear and pack a tent in the trunk, in case you can't find a motel cheap enough when you get tired of driving |
| meals | mark the restaurants you will be eating at on the map, get copies of their menus and highlight meal choices | stock up on ready-to-eat food, enjoy local delicacies, eat things you have never tried before, whatever your mood dictates |
| sightseeing | mark sights of interest on the map, keep sightseeing to a minimum in order to stay on schedule | stop whenever you see something that might be interesting, stay as long as you like |
| unexpected expenses | bring credit cards, debit cards, extra cash, | bring whatever you have (it's never much), a good pair of work shoes, a standard waitress uniform, and be prepared to work if the car breaks down |
| Souvenirs | Get everything from the same store when you reach your destination, postcards are quick & easy to send to friends & family back home | Shop along the way, buying small gifts that makes you think of someone specific, mail them when you find a place, with a hand written letter telling of your adventures |
| When you get to your destination | Have your itinerary worked out and stick to the schedule | What destination? What schedule? |

Since religious faith seems to have come into the thread, should we spiral this off into the basement and let the original thread stick narrowly to its subject?-kyrathaba (April 20, 2013, 01:16 PM)
As the human species becomes more enlightened (assuming we don't annihilate ourselves first) I think there will have to come a time when there will be an admission that there are things we cannot know/learn by reflection, analysis or discovery. Though I'm sure the opinion I'm putting forth is in opposition to that of many site members, I believe there are absolute limits to human ability, and that there are phenomena in the universe that are not susceptible to scientific investigation, however advanced our tools become.
