JQ...
...Did you just give away some important info with this comment?
"C:\Documents and Settings\[userid]\Application Data\[vendor]\[pgm]\" in Vista this has moved to C"\USERS\[userid]\APPDATA\[Mode]\[Vendor]\[pgm]\".
I suppose that anyone who could hack into a puter would already know that. What I really don't get is why in the world people would go out of their way to fuck up a strangers' computer. I just don't understand the thrill there. Am I missing something? What would they gain from that?
Meg, it's common knowledge that porn sites are full of spyware, which will make your puter crash constantly.
Apparently you're right. It was also common knowledge at Montgomery Ward's that Rick was screwing Noreen Murray...but I didn't know that either.
So Rick might not be guilty, or maybe he was. Only the hard drive knows for sure. Oh and what a treasure trove of data windows leaves behind.
Oh, he was. I followed the highlighted links that he had taken to find free porn. I doubt that he would pay for it...but obviously I didn't know him as well as I thought I did. I still have the hard drive that he left behind...I DARE you to come and show me what else was on that sucker! I DOUBLE DARE YOU! (See above photo)
Never cheated, even when she treated me like crap. Quit the party life before marriage. Always provided well, even when our little company went bust. And here's my payback. Two years and counting in court. Help me understand that one Meg.
Well dude, I would if I could but I can't so I won't. You're asking someone who was dumped on as badly as you were. I gave him close to 25 years of my life that I'll never get back. That's my LIFE we're talking about. I never, ever would have given my life to someone that I wasn't planning on spending all of it with. I let the affairs go because I vowed before God that I would stay with him for my entire life. Like a jack ass, I thought that if our marriage survived the affairs, it would be stronger for it. How's that for stupidity?
I just got a call from the scheduler at work and they need me to work again tonight. I already know that I'm working tomorrow night so this will be a long stretch for me. My contract calls for me to work 60 hours a month. I work that most weeks. Our hourly wage is based upon the number of hours we commit to work. I'm going to change my contract to 108 hours a month. That would add 10 bucks an hour to my wage. I've been thinking about it for a while now and I like the idea. If I did that...the extra $10 an hour would pay for my taxes so that I would actually make the amount that I'm making now only without any deductions. I don't have much else to do with my time, I might as well work my ass off. I like my job...a LOT.
The only problem is that I feel as though I'll never get to play with my new computer. Or maybe I will, but it won't be new anymore. Sniff, sniff...sniff-sniff.
OK...that means that I have to go to bed now. I had planned on hooking my camera up to this sucker (without any sound, I never did find my mic.) but now I don't have the time.
YIKES!!! I just looked at the time! I have to get up in 5 hours...good night ya'll!!!
Meg
I've found the first problem with this PC...I can't for the life of me get the post to put spaces between the paragraphs...I've edited it 5 times and it won't stay edited. I just don't understand things like that...does anyone out there know why this won't save?

Wow, what a beautiful woman - if I were a guy, I'd ask ya to marry me! But do you think that KissMeKate and Lara would settle as my mistresses? Sorry to Lara as she's heard this line before LOL
Aw...ask Rick...he'll tell you that I'm easy to fool.
LOL at Sol
Ah Sol, gonna be a sailor and have one in every port?
Meg -
Out of curiousity, how are you connecting to the 'net? 'puter to modem? 'puter to router to modem? Wireless or wired?
Eliza,
There are a bunch of wires behind this thing so I'm not sure how to answer that. I do know that I pay Comcast for my cable TV and my computer...does that help?
Meg
Oh My. Find the thingie that looks like a phone cable that plugs into the back of the computer. Where does it go?
After checking behind the monitor for a while, I decided that you must mean the big box-like thing that the monitor is hooked up to. I can't get back there. I have a modem...does THAT help?
I totally admit to being ignorant of all things computer. BUT...I'm one helluva nurse! And, I have to run and go act like one right now! See ya!
Have a great day!
Meg
There is a tremendous difference between a (phone) modem and a cable modem.
Your monitor should be plugged into your CPU case. Any modem would also plug into the case too. DSL and phone service are even harder to differentiate, but DSL is not likely being offered by Comcast.
Broadband (cable high speed) would have a coax cable (single copper wire, covered in 1/8 plastic, surrounded by silver wire shielding, surrounded by thin black plastic insulation, with a screw connector) into a cable modem which will then connect to the PC with an ethernet (Cat 5, 6 wire) RJ-45 jack.
Plain Dialup will have a 2 or 4 wire RJ-11 jack (standard telephone) plugging into the case or an external analog modem. The analog modem is connected by 15 wire serial connector to a COM port on the case. Plain dialup runs significantly slower.
DSL is a digital service provided over regular phone lines if you live close enough to a Central Office (CO) and it has the needed equipment. DSL requires filters on voice lines and has a standard jack going into a DSL box with an ethernet connection to the case.
So much for the hardware. on the software side, when you connect to the internet, you should see a speed. If it's less than 56Kbps then it's plain dialup (or a badly malfunctioning broadband LOL). If it's much higher it's probably broadband and there are several levels of service, you'd have to check with Comcast to see what level you have.
If you are on Vista, you have a 2 way firewall automatically, not great, but OK.
If you have XP SP2 you have a 1 way firewall automatically, not adequate to protect against trojans and Identity Theft.
If you have XP SP1, by default the firewall is off. It should be turned on or replaced by s third party (2 way) firewall.
If you click "Connect to" then "Show all network connections" you will see the connected and firewall status. It should say both words, if it doesn't say firewalled, then it's wide open hunting season on your PC.
JQ - you took the words right outta my mouth! I myself have two firewalls...was trying to figure out if Meg has herself adequately protected!
Eliza,
I just left a comment on your blog telling you that my computer is "fard wired" but has wireless capability. Now, what else do I need to know to be protected?
Meg
JQ, Where is the "connect to" button?
See? I NEED you to come and show me how to work this thing!!!!
Meg
Girl, if we ever do meet in the Square for a drink I'm following you back to your house to fix you up properly!
If JQ doesn't beat me to it :-)
Fard...LOLOLOL. HARD WIRED
Eliza, there may be enough for both of us...
Hard wired high speed ethernet is going to beat wireless. Wireless fits for convenience. For example I'm going to add a wireless access point so I can sit in a lounge chair on my deck drinking Ice Tea while Blogging.
For Vista, Click "Start", the "Connect to" is in the right column. Right Click your connection, Click Status. On the General Tab You'll see the speed.
I just noticed that the Firewall info is buried a little deeper in Vista. I don't have that info offhand, but I'll get it (if Eliza doesn't first).
So the hard wiring, (FARD?) is it six wire ethernet to a cablemodem that has a coax input?
Maybe you'll have to send us some close up pictures in the mean time.
At least until I see your enchanting smile in person. ;-)
