Anyway, a browser I've been using for a while: FrostAccording to Google Play, Frost was last updated in November 2014. That's more than a year ago. A very long time for a browser.
Has a password protected vault for your bookmarks and any saved images, unlocked by entering a pin/password as you would a web address, ie. if your pin is 1234 you just enter that as the web address in a tab, the vaults become unlocked and any previous session tabs can be restored.
When you exit, all history is removed and the vaults lock.-4wd (February 06, 2016, 01:28 AM)-xtabber (February 06, 2016, 10:58 AM)
I read somewhere that if a person wants to pull over off the side of a road and sleep off 'one drink too many' while remaining in the vehicle, they can still charge you with a technical DUI if the car keys are in the car, so the suggestion was to put the keys on the road under the car; don't know how good the advice is, and I don't drink; so comment--anyone?-holt (February 05, 2016, 09:32 PM)
I was under the impression this is only if the keys are in the ignition (same as the UK), in the same sense as you could get charged with "Intention to drive without a license" if you have the engine running whilst in the drivers seat, and don't have a license (also the same if you are on the phone and have the engine running/are in gear) - It's safer just to turn off the engine and put the keys in your pocket IMHO...If you put the keys outside the vehicle, you risk them getting stolen or lost (sudden heavy rain could easily wash them away)-Stephen66515 (February 06, 2016, 12:20 AM)
Being Drunk in Charge of a Motor Vehicle
The offence of being Drunk in Charge is committed if:
“a person is in charge of any motor vehicle on a road or other public place after consuming so much alcohol that the proportion of it in his breath, blood or urine exceeds the prescribed limit he is guilty of an offence”
Whether or not a person is in charge of a motor vehicle is or the facts of each individual case, the key question being whether the person is in control of the vehicle and whether in the circumstances there is a realistic possibility of him taking control of the vehicle. These cases will usually arise in circumstances where a motorist who is above the prescribed limit is found inside a car, but is not driving. The unwitting motorist can easily stumble into this situation, where they enter their car for the purpose of sleeping or with the intention of removing belongings.

The extent of my knowledge was that it was the only firewall (other than Agnitum's) that will pass 100% of leak tests.-Innuendo (January 30, 2016, 02:08 PM)
If this doesn't pan out I think I'm going to try 4wd's solution of MBAM and WFC.
I may be a bit slow today, but can anybody explain me where I can find this info screen in Windows 10? I've been unable to find it since I started using Windows 10-Ath (January 29, 2016, 01:49 AM)
On my old Lumia 520, it is not a problem to make a backup to an SD card. In my 'System Settings' there is an option called 'Contacts and Messages backup'.-Shades (January 28, 2016, 06:45 PM)
Pale Moon does not work with XP or I would switch.-holt (January 28, 2016, 06:48 PM)
This version of Pale Moon is optimized specifically for use on Intel Atom™ processors and compatible with the Windows XP and Server 2003 operating systems.
These builds are specifically optimized for Intel Atom™ processors, and are not recommended for regular Intel or AMD processors on current operating systems (Vista or higher). The extra optimizations only work on Atom processors and will execute a little slower than the normal version of Pale Moon on a non-Atom processor (but otherwise run just fine). In general use, you will likely not notice much (if any) difference if run on a non-Atom processor that is likely more powerful, anyway.
I have given up using anything other than built in security software ...-Carol Haynes (January 28, 2016, 12:37 PM)
