Living Room / Re: Thoughts in remembrance of 911

« Last post by cmpm on September 21, 2011, 06:55 AM »

It has been used to represent medical or mythology or commerce or neutrality.
But I do not see it or understand it in any of those ways.
I look further back into it and see the wings as the wings of a dove,
representing spirit.
The rod representing Christ, and the serpents, male and female.
As a whole, the human soul.

Mythology is an offshoot of truths and lies.
So I look beyond that, although it does offer insight.
Being based on other things, the mythological view is not the original intent.
But points to some definite facts that they are based on.

The two serpents representing duality in some explanations.
Although to me, it says the two opposing forces are intertwined.

Anyway, that's what I understand at this time.
I won't argue with other opinions or perspectives.
I respect them, even if I don't agree.

I said you may recognize it as a symbol of the medical profession.
That doesn't mean I agree that it is. Just to be clear on what I said.
Different people in history have made it to be that, by their own decisions.
As I'm sure anyone that looked it up may have seen.
It was used in the armed forces of USA for the medical corps, for a while,
as well as other choices made concerning this symbol.

Yes, in mythology and modern times, you are correct.
But it began with the staff of Moses, and corrupted over time.

This is way off topic I guess.....so I think I'm done with it.
No offense intended.

@ IainB

Thanks for responding to and acknowledging that trailer.

I have more on the subjects, but holding back cause this is not the site for it.
There is a great ignorance of the human soul, which is masculine and feminine in each of us.
The masculine will always be dominate, but it has to, for sanity's sake allow the feminine to be heard and active.
I'm not talking about sexual choices, but the real forces within each soul.

Understanding/knowledge (masculine) and wisdom (feminine) must meet within to have peace.
Here is a misunderstood symbol of a soul, and all souls.
The serpents are masculine and feminine with the rest symbolic of spirit.
You might recognize it as the symbol of the medical profession, healing.

Yes, I have quite a few older keyboards.
If your keyboard dies your stuck without a computer.
I'm pretty sure anyway, without one mine will boot till it beeps for a keyboard.
If I don't have one hooked up.

I was using the HP (which is still hooked up) for the extra usb ports on it.
The MM buttons never get used.

@Stoic Joker

So he's got nothing looking for F8 to catch the keystroke.

Some keyboards don't recognize the F keys on boot up at all.
I have one that does not, could not even get to safe mode,
till I figured out the keyboard will not see the F keys on bootup.

Not sure if this is the case with that keyboard.
But it happened to me with an HP keyboard,
so I had to hookup another keyboard to get to my boot options.

That's all the help I can offer, the rest is out of my understanding, most of it.

or would you trust this, with your cell phone number

http://www.wheresmycellphone.com/

looks like a handy service if you have no other phone around

I've cut my land line and have misplaced my cell phone once,
here at home,
without anyone around to contact and call the number.

I found it, and now I find this site.
So I may have to use it one day...hmmmm

To me it's a symbol of just how insane this world has become.
Money was the target, Governments lust after it, mine too.
No honor for the human soul and lives are expendable.
And they have no shame or remorse, it's a show.

This is a war that's been going on for a long time,
worse in the last 60 years.

The war with Arab factions and Governments is never ending.

Many direct casualties and loss of life for more then 20 years now.
Because of deployed troops. On all sides.
Just to pick a fight.

Thanks, I haven't played with it yet but I did set up the sites and email, which was easy.
Will test and play when I have time.

This certainly a big plus for SC.
Others will shoot and upload to sites but that's it,
they don't have the excellent capture, edit and other abilities of SC.

Thanks for researching this further.
I think some sites post things without fully investigating them first.
Of course the blame is on me, for what I install without looking into it further.
I suspected trouble when I saw klite and mpc and codecs being installed during the install.
Good thing I uninstalled it right after the install I think.
Down the road it could screw up a lot of stuff.
I'm still not sure if all my associations are back to where I had them.
Cause I don't know what it did fully.
As I open stuff I'll find out. Easy enough to reset then.

I used Revo Pro to remove it, and there was a lot in the registry.
Then searched for files, but haven't found any other leftovers.

General Software Discussion / OpenFreely warning

« Last post by cmpm on September 04, 2011, 05:12 PM »

http://www.openfreely.com/

Looks like a nice program, no ads or changing homepage or added toolbars.

But after installing it takes over as file associations for zip, music and video,
without asking. Maybe more, I did not check.
Now I may have missed a click during install, but I'm usually very careful about that.
And always use custom install when available to see my choices.

I know we don't have a complaint section, but a popular site has this posted.
So I thought it best to warn ya, noticed it when I looked at my zip files.
OpenFreely's icon was on them all, I didn't unzip to see how well it does with zip files.
I just uninstalled it. And had to do a system restore.

And it does install it's own mpc, included in an outdated version of klite.
Noticed it being installed while watching the list fly by during installation.

http://www.openfreely.com/

I think it would be a good program if it did not take over everything like it did.

General Software Discussion / Re: too much security?

« Last post by cmpm on August 10, 2011, 05:18 PM »

SAS and mbam seem to play well together.
I've been running them together for a long time.

SAS will pick up the tracking cookies as well, and has blocked malicious sites,
or seen links that would lead to possible infections, where mbam did not.
If I was to turn off one, it would be SAS rather then mbam.
But I have enough resources to let both work along with Nod.
That is me though, others do it different

They both update and quick scan at different times of the day, every day.
I do believe they both keep looking in the background all the time,
judging by monitoring resources, using a good bit till I start surfing or using another program.
Or done looking at stuff.
Then they back off the resource usage and give it back to me, still looking for trouble,
should I stumble into any.
I have hit on sites that I didn't expect any trouble from and these programs stopped them.

I try to surf safely, but having them both helps my confidence.

I agree Curt, to use the same name is a big red flag.

Just seeing yet another security program raised my question.
Not thinking of this one only, but the many that are around.

yes, sas, super anti spyware

and resources being over used,
for security already covered by what I have now

I can't be sure that Kingsoft would find things the others can't,
not worried too much about it, more security is great,
but do I need it.

General Software Discussion / too much security?

« Last post by cmpm on August 10, 2011, 09:46 AM »

Found this today.

http://pcdoctor.kingsoft.com/index.shtml

A free security program, with various functions including some I don't need.
Kingsoft, reputable company I reckon, as far as I know.

But!

The question is how many of these kind of security products are really needed.
I have Nod, mbam and sas running full time.
And a few others I can run on demand.

I did the free Mamutu, when it was on GOTD.
That was annoying.
It Firewalls a lot of your files from interacting together.
Had to uninstall, it never found anything that was trouble.

This program from Kingsoft looks good and is free, runs full time,
but sheesh stop tempting me for more security then I need!

What do y'all think about it?

'Start G+' Adds a Gmail inbox notifier, which you can disable.
Warnings are posted at the app store of what it can access.
You can disable Facebook and Twitter functions as well.
But those are the point of the extension.
It also can access Picasa Web and the developer for updates.
The Beta does not auto update though.

He keeps developing it, so I think it will be a good one, imo.
Personally I like to keep them separate-Google+ and Facebook.
I just tested it to see if it works and it still does.

I think scsi refers to controllers, is why I posted that.
Reinstalling the controllers could address the issues.
Same drivers but maybe a fix of conflicts.
Never know till you try.
