How about a photo of your part of Somerset?-Carol Haynes (August 31, 2005, 09:01 AM)
i sort of got into using mind maps many years ago after reading a few books by Tony Buzan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Buzan.I did an evening class recently. The tutor seemed keen on mind maps, but it's something I'd never done because I was borne too soon-nudone (October 16, 2006, 10:27 AM)
I came across one of Tony Buzan's books in the library and flipped through it. It looked like he was defining new jargon to use in describing mind maps, which made me think it could easily end up as a groupie ghetto. Also it looked like you had to be quite artistic with broad-tipped coloured markers. So, I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has any further thoughts on this topic?after creating a few i didn't find it helped a great deal.That's rather what I was concerned about.
like brotherS, i didn't find that they changed my life - though, Tony Buzan gave me the impression that they would.You're English, so (if you're old enough) you'll probably know what I mean when remind you of Mandy Rice-Davies' famous rejoinder...
Start - Control Panel - Windows FirewallOK, thanks, done that now - but, Windows Firewall was turned OFF, because I was using Online-Armor. I think OA's default is to turn Windows Firewall OFF when it's on itself, and to turn Windows Firewall back on if OA is turned off. No Internet access change, and as Windows Firewall was off wasn't really expecting one, unless I need to reboot. Getting late (for me) so I'll return to the struggle tomorrow (actually, it's BE tomorrow local time in ten minutes, but I meant a bit longer than that...).-Josh (February 23, 2010, 05:36 PM)
screenshot captor does have a text capture mode, you could trynu.My next idea was to ask you if SSC had an equivalent of TextSnap-mouser (February 23, 2010, 05:20 PM)
Thanks, next time I see such a box, I'll try it.Did you enable them in the windows firewall for public networks?Do you mean Windows Defender? If so, I can't see either in its lists.-Josh (February 23, 2010, 05:06 PM)
I like my drives dumb, predictable, and cooperative - As apposed to trying to guess what I need and out thinking me.If we wanted that - and had a reasonable alternative - we wouldn't be using Windows, would we-Stoic Joker (February 23, 2010, 03:44 PM)
One of the old collections of Van Vogt (SF writer from way back, once famous for writing 'Slan'). I'm away from home right now, so I can't look in my read-and-going-to-pass-it-on box to check the title, but I think it was either 'Destination: Universe!' or 'The Book of Van Vogt'.Wikipedia page on A. E. van Vogt. You do realise that DC supporting members and above are Slans, don't you?-slowmaker (February 21, 2010, 02:21 AM)
True, but, there has to be some balance between security and accessibility if I'm going to use a USB key at all.(1) prevent average users accessing payware programs on my USB key, (2) prevent same accessing certain files, and (3) should I lose the key, or forget and leave it behind,For (1) and (2), isn't the problem with using a encrypted container that once you have entered the passphrase everything in it will be decrypted and accessible?-rjbull (February 19, 2010, 03:11 PM)-4wd (February 19, 2010, 07:02 PM)
If you wander away from the computer, (eg. to look at a reference book), then anyone will be able to access what's on it until you return, (or nick it).True again, but see above: and I'm hoping that if anyone does steal it, they won't be able to access it ever again because they won't know the password. That is, I'm assuming that if they plug it into another PC, the encryption will hold. Also I'm assuming that one can set a timeout, so that if I don't access it for a while, I'd have to re-enter the password. I do that with KeePass, even at home.
I think the main problem is (3) for which there is a simple solution: go to a hardware shop, buy one of those retractable key chains, attach it to your belt/pants and the flash drive. Job Done!I hadn't thought of that
Not sure how practical it is, though; it would tie me to the computer as well. Unless you have a chain long enough to reach to the toilet at the other end of the corridor you're restricted to using a flash drive with always-on hardware encryption.If I read him right, f0dder seems to rule those out.
I love Roboform2Go (the portable version).So do I. I also have the now-freeware version for Palm. But Palm abandoned their users-superboyac (February 19, 2010, 03:37 PM)
You can't synch a T3 with Vista.I have a Man Crush on f0dder because of his knowledge of all things secret.f0dder, going off topic a bit, how do you rate Dariusz Stanislawek's encryption utilities?-tinjaw (February 19, 2010, 08:02 AM)
Is portable version that can be installed on U3 smart drive only an appropriate solution?I'd rather have a version that can run from any USB drive, not just U3.-Cashper (February 17, 2010, 02:30 PM)
The Assistive software works, maybe slight overkill for my needs.Don't overlook PhilB66's post at the end of that thread - PlaceHolder plus WheelHere used together.-tsaint (February 17, 2010, 04:37 PM)
a nucleus of active, "go-getter" type people, and a much larger group of orbiting "hangers-on".I wonder if there's a fairly standard ratio of one to the other?-kyrathaba (February 16, 2010, 06:23 PM)
