Another less-than-optimal day.

Just now made it to the library. We had a flat tire this morning that had to be attended to. Also ran out of gas. Proper planning prevents poor performance, I keep telling myself. On the other hand, it may just be my ex-wife's voodoo doll has just had its maximum effective range entended. When I finally make it home, I'll try the paperclip trick on the disc drive. It speaks poorly of my technical knowledge that I never heard of that one before. Anyway, let's see what posts I can knock out before my electronic carraige turns into a pumpkin (the library restricts usage to one hour and one hour only).

If using Fox, go to Tools - Options - Privacy - Cookies - Remove all Cookies.

Open Run - type cleanmgr hit ok - drive you want to clean - hit okay.

Open RUN - type prefetch - select all - delete (your copmputer will be a tad slow for a few but will catch up).

Go to your C Drive - Windows - find Temp and open - Select All - Delete.

Open RUN type ipconfig /releasedns - hit okay.

Anonymous said...: I live in a college town and there are a LOT of Wi-Fi hotspots close by. Whenever my primary computer decides to "Go on Vacation" it is time to dig out the laptop and head to one of the near-by hotspots for free internet. I am sure that one of your Internet Savvy readers can fill you in on what to avoid and what operating systems are not safe, to point you (and many others) in the right direction to have SAFE Wi-Fi internet and how to have the proper external hard drives to keep all your info safe. Hope this info is helpful (since I often need help myself).; July 18, 2013 at 12:15 AM
Anonymous said...: Guys, I don't know about you, but now that I know Microsoft made a deal with the USG to include a PRE ENCRYPTION backdoor key into Windows,..that's it for me. Fuck MS. These scumbags are still in Damage Control mode, going so far as emailing customers saying how hard they try to "protect your data".

Protect your data. right.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Like a fox protects a henhouse.

Totally makes encryption an Epic Fail..from the getgo..which means MS is a liar of biblical proportions.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
