Ah, that site is completely blocked in my HOSTS file, guess why.

Your base consists of those computers you know how to fix, that's not a
cut, just a statement.
AND you direct those parties move to what YOU recommend.

And no, the stats may not be wrong, but what do they reflect [can't tell
you as I have no intention of disabling the block]..
The intent of the computer age was to INCREASE the intelligence of the
world and to allow the people of the world to communicate with each other..

IN STARK constrast, we find what actually occurred was that people just
bitched and complained until they find an OS which they need no NOTHING
about to use, so they can pirate software and music, send emails, view nifty
Flash objects, steal DVD movies, watch TV programs on their computer, and
..... meanwhile, the intelligence level seems to have *fallen off the edge of
the world*...

Microsoft's

is

millions

*want*

in,
| and I don't mean just you, I mean the whole utopian Linux crowd. They are
| invaluable to society, but they will never come near ruling it except in
| some self-satisfied sense of accomplishment.

What application don't you find? What is it that you need to do that isn't
found in a Linux version or specific program?

SO you WANT to be forced every few years to buy a new computer and devices,
you WANT to be forced to upgrade when support is pulled, you WANT to have no
control on what your OS does, you WANT to ... well, the comment would
usually be "lead by the nose".

|
| Now, I grant you that Linux lends itself to specialization, which could be

making
| inroads there. But I'm betting it's just as slow going as in the
| personal/SOHO market. Then again, you say we have no stats for those.

Gary, what all Windows user forget, is that Windows displaced Unix, Linux,
Xnix, IBM DOS, and variants from the home and business world. Granted, home
usage during that time period was infantismal. The FIRST Windows was used
because it looked GRAPHICAL. Everything used within it for NET use came from
third parties. Microsoft limped into the picture with a rediculous
browser... and that's about it.

Here's somethiing, how many servers RUNNING the Internet use a Linux/Unix
or variant?

What is the number one server being used to put hacks into systems?

|
| Still, I don't see those Web stats changing very quickly, nor the pace of
| that change changing very quickly. And while you might quibble with them a
| bit, you can't go changing them by orders of magnitude just on a hunch or
| based upon magazines, blogs, etc. The potential of Linux is and always has

| been just that--potential. If you want to convince me that Linux has any
| near-term chance to save the world from XP, then let's have the numbers.

| Capitalism = Real World. A place where you, apparently, don't wish to
| reside.

CAPITALISM = with its waste, consumerism, profit margins and market calls,
investments in junk businesses and manufacturers, lack of concern for
people, lack of concern for environment, fosters its ME/MINE attitude,
resource Wars, depletion of the ozone, destruction of the ice caps,
elimination of wildlife and sea creatures, world wealth in the hands of the
select few, limited and DIRECTED education of children, and all this other
lovely stuff going on,,, the thing that will destroy this planet,, oh wait,
that's pretty much been accomplished. It IS useful for America, it has kept
this bankrupt nation alive [declared essential bankrupcy seven times since
the depression], of course the money is useless and only backed by foreign
nations but who cares about whether that CREDIT is ever paid back, not
Capitalists...... worry about future generations, why, there's no profit in
it, and WHO CARES we certainly aren't going to be there, that's their
problem....

So yeah, let's drill ALL the oil out NOW and use it,,, let's spend the next
thirty years trying to figure out what to do, after all, its only been a few
thousand years already, let's let the people pay for coal technological
usage improvements FOR the producers, let's strip the sea of life and fill
it in with human waste and garbage, let's finish this with a bang,, yep
that's it,,, let's just get rid of all those things in our way....

We don't need animals, fish , vegetables, or any of that junk, we can eat
ourselves, like in "Soylent Green".... use War to decrease the population
like "1984", oh YEAH let's bask in our glory.... hey sounds like the plan,
whatyatink...

|
| Why would you discuss XP issues in THIS group in any detail? And since
when

It was a discussion concerning 98 usage after and on drives with XP. Seems
that made it pretty appropriate for a 98 group. It did get a number of XP
users to pop in, and increased re-population [other mirrors], and
viewers/participants here. The added benefit, it exposed some of XP. AND
changed a few attitudes concerning what to do with these types of disks, how
to wipe drives, what programs are worthless to use, and several other useful
items......

Re Maurice-: What is Quick Time

Re Maurice-: What is Quick Time

Maurice, I don't need Quick Time for the bank. When I uninstalled it, I was able to
do my banking just fine. I wouldn't want anything "unsafe" running with my bank
sessions.
I'm guessing from the conversation that there is no replacement for Quick Time to
run .MOV. I am able to run .mpg videos on 'Windows Media Player'. But when I click
my .mov it says it needs "PLAY32.EXE". Is that all I need? Maybe I don't need Quick
Time.
But if I do, are you familiar with how to set up Avast to LIMIT, via the
firewall, EXACTLY where QT can be used, by SITE? Ginny

Re: Re Maurice-: What is Quick Time

Re: Re Maurice-: What is Quick Time

Oh I'm sorry, I saw where you needed QT locally, and I can see why.

It isn't AVAST you use, but your software firewall. That is the key feature
of a software firewall, hardware firewalls are unable to *completely*
monitor running processes.

The version of QT you use isn't really important, AS LONG AS ITS BLOCKED
and only used locally, *or* just like for any program, IS important [use the
last supported version] IF Internet usage, but only allowed access to the
actual sites necessary/which require its use, AND you can't live without
them AND they are *clean* sites..

Now, there are some other programs which provide .mov and other QT
extension playback, or creation or conversion, via pluggins or other. I
can't recommend one as I stopped that usage a long time ago as I found no
real need for it.

Your best bet, however, is to convert those irreplaceable *.mov to another
format for use in something you already have installed, that's usually
Windows Media player.
That also makes it a little bit easier to configure your firewall, as you
don't have to configure *many* applications and their access, and can keep
your firewall rules in a small, tightly configured, manner. Security is
based upon YOUR ability to control what goes on with the help of security
software, and settings,

In example: I still use IE6 for testing purposes, but its access to port
443 is NOT configured for general use. That port is now called by some sites
to push advertising and other scripts and code. Only sites which I know and
use have been allowed access AND I am notified when it IS used or attempted
at use either IN or OUT, I still have to manually allow it. The other
testing browsers I use {Opera, FireFox, SeaMonkey} have also been limited.
FYI: that port is supposedly only for secure/trusted use and has a higher
level of system access if allowed.

The same is applied for all programs for which this can be done, such as
mail programs, news readers, players, etc.. THEY don't control access and
use, I DO with a little help. EVERTHING is defined and controlled as best as
possible. This isn't done by default in ANY Microsoft OS, even the new ones,
because it DOES take more than just knowing how to point and click, and a
little bit of typing knowledge; which is only what most general usage
Windows users know how to do. That's not cutting them down or arrogance,
that's a statement of plain fact

Re: IE Running well so far

Yeah Gary, she sure could use the exercise. Send them anytime. We are
beginning to call her "Fat Cat" instead of "Streaker". George says she is a
Bowling Ball with legs! She was fat when I got her. Right now, she is
sleeping on my old Contour chair. The chair does not adjust very well
anymore, most of the time it only has one position. It needs a new one. I
bought it long before I retired 16 years ago.

I uninstalled the AdAware last night. So far, no problems because I
uninstalled it. I still have Avast! and Spybot 1.4. I have not updated the
Spybot lately. I just don't know which updates to use.

Exactly my thesis. You want to force the computer world into such a format

I already mentioned Photoshop. Add Illustrator. Add MS Access. And in any
case, are you saying that the Linux crowd has it so together these days that
one can write a single version of an application (or two or three, max) that
will run near flawlessly on any modern Linux distro, WITHOUT having to
personally, manually, reprogram the OS to some certain extent?

Yup, as part of the capitalist masses, that's exactly what I want.
Idiot-proofing, with just enough leeway to customize as needed for most uses
I could ever possibly want to put my machine to. Whether you like it or not,
Windows provides just that. And I want NEW, NEW, NEW!!! Hey, you talk about
the internet being intended to improve communications, seems to me that
YouTube, My Space, the older fashioned Chat rooms, et al, are perfect
examples of success. And all of these technologies change by the minute,
made possible for the most part by Windows.

If it weren't for cheap, cobbled-together Windows, I'd never have met my
wife in a Yahoo! Chat room, I'd never have been able to maintain a courtship
via ICQ for a year, and we'd never have been able to build what life we have
together without Windows machines to run our HOME publishing business.
(Things were always such that a "normal" 9-5 life is impossible for either
of us.)

More irrelevant facts. So what? Microsoft MADE the internet what it is
today, by mass marketing stuff that the nerds all seemed to want to keep to
themselves. (I don't think the vast majority of nerds really want everyone
else to be nerds. That would mean they aren't special anymore.)

And your continuous harping on the fact that Microsoft built itself through
astute business deals and/or less reputable shenanigans, that's all well
known history. You're whining again.

> Here's somethiing, how many servers RUNNING the Internet use a Linux/Unix
> or variant?

Quite a few, maybe most of them. What's your point? I presume that with that
upper case RUNNING, you weren't including servers that just dish stuff stuff
out to people *using* the internet. Hey, I'd expect these internet-RUNNING
machines to be well-maintained and constantly monitored for any problems, to
have a LOT of manpower devoted to keeping them online and clean. And if
they're so good, why can't they intervene to stop all possible internet
hacks?

> What is the number one server being used to put hacks into systems?

Windows IIS, I would imagine. Don't forget the "biggest, easiest target"
paradigm. It is to be assumed that most such servers are also poorly
maintained by less than perfectly knowledgable people. All in all, easy
targets for hackers.

What's your point? That the internet would be safer if it didn't allow any
users to use it without a college degree in maintaining and programming
computers? That they should at least be regulated and monitored, like
certain other professionals in our society? Man, just WHERE are you going to
get these people? Or are you saying that if these were Linux servers instead
of Windows servers, internet hacks, D.O.S. attacks, etc., would magically
cease to occur? I don't buy that for one second. The key isn't the operating
system, it's the people who run/use them. But if you think you can somehow
coerce people into knowing what they're doing, first, by making it
impossible to use a computer otherwise... Back to La Mancha you go.

Hey, PAY ATTENTION!!! I've been asking you over and over and over again for
ANY such reference you can provide, and you apparently can't. Again, why do
you block that site? For the same silly reason people fear tracking cookies,
scripts, etc.? You can't honestly be claiming thatt there's anything
*malicious* at that site?

Re: IE Running well so far

Might want to make sure it's the latest version, 4.0, then install it. It's
pretty straight-forward. Requires a restart. Then run the app, and in the
Welcome dialog, click Next, choose Manual Updating, click Next, then click
Finish.

Now, click Updates on the left column, then the Check for Updates button.
When the updating finishes, click on Protection Status at left and then at
the bottom, under Quick Tasks, Enable All Protection.

Do that every week or two.

Re: Re Maurice-: What is Quick Time

I'm sorry. I meant to say 'Sygate' not Avast. Would you be able to help me
set up Avast to block where QT is allowed to go?

BS. - Sounds like arrogance to me. That's not to cut you down, that's just a

Re: Re Maurice-: What is Quick Time

Re: Re Maurice-: What is Quick Time

Well then, let's try to read that prior post,, what you NEED to do is setup
the *FIREWALL* to block where QT is allowed to go/where it is used... do you
use it for anything on the Internet?

IF NO, block it, or preferably convert those *.mov files to one supported in
the default player, and get rid of QT..

IF YES, access that SAFE site and configure it to allow QT use for that
SINGLE address, and single port if possible. Make sure you keep any
Notification enabled {and log for awhile} until you are sure that it is
fully blocked...

In a RULES based firewall, this is the functioning for ALL setup. In
something like ZA, most just click YES/Allow, and ZA then assigns what type
use it can be: Local/Server, Internet/Server. The ports are wide open [or
within a general preset range].

NOW are you confusing your issue with the AVAST proxy with this issue? The
proxy would come into play in conjunction WITH the firewall to
monitor/filter Internet traffic.


Everyone has an opinion, but only a few base their's on fact and what
occurs, those carry substance. The others base their's generally on desire
and guess or pre-conceived notions, those bring little but words.

Re: What is Quick Time

Re: What is Quick Time

Gary, this is a useless discussion. You have your thoughts which are what a
Windows user generally has, having never used anything else..

So let just say, again, we agree to disagree... and leave me out of those
snide little comments...

|

| Idiot-proofing, with just enough leeway to customize as needed for most
uses
| I could ever possibly want to put my machine to. Whether you like it or
not,

|

courtship
| via ICQ for a year, and we'd never have been able to build what life we
have

| (Things were always such that a "normal" 9-5 life is impossible for either

|
| More irrelevant facts. So what? Microsoft MADE the internet what it is
| today, by mass marketing stuff that the nerds all seemed to want to keep
to
| themselves. (I don't think the vast majority of nerds really want everyone
| else to be nerds. That would mean they aren't special anymore.)
|
| And your continuous harping on the fact that Microsoft built itself
through
| astute business deals and/or less reputable shenanigans, that's all well
| known history. You're whining again.
|
| > Here's somethiing, how many servers RUNNING the Internet use a
Linux/Unix
| > or variant?
|
| Quite a few, maybe most of them. What's your point? I presume that with
that
| upper case RUNNING, you weren't including servers that just dish stuff
stuff
| out to people *using* the internet. Hey, I'd expect these internet-RUNNING
| machines to be well-maintained and constantly monitored for any problems,
to
| have a LOT of manpower devoted to keeping them online and clean. And if
| they're so good, why can't they intervene to stop all possible internet
| hacks?
|
| > What is the number one server being used to put hacks into systems?
|
| Windows IIS, I would imagine. Don't forget the "biggest, easiest target"
| paradigm. It is to be assumed that most such servers are also poorly
| maintained by less than perfectly knowledgable people. All in all, easy
| targets for hackers.
|
| What's your point? That the internet would be safer if it didn't allow any
| users to use it without a college degree in maintaining and programming
| computers? That they should at least be regulated and monitored, like
| certain other professionals in our society? Man, just WHERE are you going
to
| get these people? Or are you saying that if these were Linux servers
instead
| of Windows servers, internet hacks, D.O.S. attacks, etc., would magically
| cease to occur? I don't buy that for one second. The key isn't the
operating
| system, it's the people who run/use them. But if you think you can somehow
| coerce people into knowing what they're doing, first, by making it
| impossible to use a computer otherwise... Back to La Mancha you go.
