COMPUTER UPGRADE UPDATE

Subject: Daylight Savings Changes
I do not know if you are aware of this, but Congress pass a bill that has changed when Daylight Savings occur. This year, it will come 3 weeks earlier. That really doesn�t mean much, except for computers.
Since computers don�t know about Congressional laws, they are unaware of the new update that needs to be downloaded. I believe that Microsoft has included the patch for the daylight savings problem in their latest batch of updates, however, if your computer didn�t update them, your calendars, and time on the computer would be wrong come March 11.
I�ve included a link for both PC�s and Mac�s on where they can get information about updating their computer for this new daylight savings change.
During my sophomore year, I decided to pursue a minor in Computer Science. I took one class called Introduction to Computer Science my freshmen year, and it sparked my interest to do so. However, when I took a course on Algorithims, I wasn't as interested any more. I dropped this minor and decided to just make webpages as a hobby to keep out of boredom during my early years living in Morris!
Side Job of Making Homepages
With all this experience and interest in making homepages, I've gotten myself into doing this as a side-job and hobby. Besides my servant interest for the Lord in making ministry websites like this one and for my local church; I've gotten into making it for people I know based on referals or reccomendations:
*Have you ever heard about the story of "The Water is Wide" (from CBN's 700 Club)? It's the story of a Conroy (nickname "Conrad"), a missionary, who taught an African American lady at a Christian school down south (U.S.A.) during the mid 1900's when racism was at it's height!
-Macafee AntiVirus Protection
My co-worker and a family friend has been asking about recent (Jan 2005) problems with this service, so I decided to do some research on this:
Solutions: "This error is stating that your IP is the same as another IP on your little 4 PC LAN." "uninstall and install the wireless drivers from the device manager and that will work out
you will bw able to go online...This is the easiest method I found" Wireless Networking - there is an ip address conflict with another system on the network (wireless ), from velcityreviews.com "someone is on the network with a forced IP address that is the same as
yours.
you can either force your ip address to something else, or let windows
request a new one from the dhcp (by repairing the connection), or find out
who it is and force them to change their IP address.
Windows knows this because there is a "table" of which computers (system)
has what IP address and it checks it, and saw your IP is the same as someone
elses... (at least thats the easy explanation).." Windows - System Error: There is an IP Address Conflict with another system.... , from techimo.com "change the ip address on your desktop to something else.... im assuming its in the 192.168 range.... so make it something like 192.168.0.45 ... or sumthing of the sort... should solve your problem either that or release and renew it if you dont want a static..... jsut go to start > run > type cmd from the command prompt type ipconfig /release then hit enter.... when that finishes hit the up arrow and make the "release" into "renew" then hit enter.... or you can simply go to your network connections, riught click the local area connection your using and click repair... should do all that automatically."

Minnesota Public Libraries have received technical toy kits that will be used for a free computer technology curriculum.
The Morris Public Library has received various gadgets to be used in free workshops which will introduce people to using MP3 players, WII (we) programs, Global Positioning Systems and the like.
Melissa Yauk is the director of the library she says the pilot workshop will first introduce attendees to the library website, introducing users to e-books, requesting books and the Viking system.
Yauk says that she will procure professionals on the given media to teach the classes. The free workshops will be held the third Saturday of every month and will include lessons on digital cameras, WII programs, LCD television kits, GPS, web camera, e-books, and mp3 players.
The first class will be held this Saturday at 9:00 a.m. before the library open, it's free and open to the public."

Digital/Document Imaging
*learned of this opportunity for my workplace from a 2-day conference in St. Cloud June of 2011
"
With 20 percent of its floor space consumed by file cabinets, the crowded Minnesota Department of Human Services realized it had a problem with paper.
The agency's solution might be a sign of things to come.
It hired 16 of its own clients with disabilities, trained them to convert paper documents to digital images, and 18 months later this corner of state government has 3.5 million fewer pages of documents in storage boxes.
"It was either this or look into 'bunk cubicles,' " said Monica Crocker, coordinator of the electronic document management system at the department.
Advocates for the disabled see digital conversions as a potential mother lode for their clients: Governments, banks, law firms and health care companies are all looking to the promise of computer disk storage to liberate them from their paper burdens. And conversions -- especially the repetitive process of removing staples, taping rips and opening folded papers so they can be electronically scanned -- is ideal work for many with physical, cognitive or emotional disabilities.
On top of that, this option can make the labor-intensive process affordable to more employers. The Human Services Department pays $7 an hour to this crew, compared with the $28 an hour Crocker said she got in an open bidding process. Everyone on the work team gets $6.15 of that $7 -- the state's minimum wage.
"Good money," said an appreciative crew member, Trina Lewis.
The department was motivated to shrink its records to prepare to move some of its divisions into the new Elmer L. Andersen Human Services Building, which opened last weekend. The nature of its work requires lots of records and often long storage. For example, the files on people under public guardianship must remain intact through their lifetimes plus 20 years, Crocker said.
To get the job done, the department turned to the piece of its Minnesota State Operated Community Services that finds and supports employment for people with disabilities.
It provides 16 to 19 clients at a time, and some coaches to train and supervise them, placement coordinator Heidi Forbes said.
The clients work four-hour shifts, and have organized themselves in four teams -- the Early Birds, Vikings, Stars and Wild. Most of their work is "document preparation" -- taking out staples and anything else needed to make a sheet of paper ready to be scanned.
"Once they learn it, it's the same thing every day," Forbes said. "It's important to these people to be consistent. Change can be hard; repetitive is good.
"In fact, some of these folks have been successful here, after they hadn't been elsewhere," she said.
The department got the idea from the Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities. That advocacy agency converted all its paperwork, including decades of mental health research, to a website, council director Colleen Wieck said.
Wieck had read about an autistic man in Lodi, Calif., who was doing well converting city documents into electronic files.
"I thought, 'You gotta get this work done. You gotta hire people with disabilities.' A lot of forces came together," Wieck said.
She hired 18 people, who scanned documents for her for 16 months.
She and Forbes hope more employers will take time to learn about this as a possibility.
Besides the department, Olmsted County's corrections department also has hired people with disabilities to help handle its documents.
She has had interest from a banker.
"And somebody in New Jersey found us by Googling 'disabilities' and 'digital imaging' and said, 'How do we set up a business to do this?' " Wieck said.
In the 1980s, the only placements for people with disabilities were in such jobs as fast food, laundry and janitorial. Now those agencies ask their clients what work might interest them, such as child care, and make every effort to accommodate them.
Everyone on the imaging projects chose to be there, she said.
"We've gone from 'supported employment' to thinking in terms of, 'What's next for you?' even, 'What kind of career are you looking for?' " she said.
Greg Leuck, at the Department of Human Services, said he's learning FileNet software, scanning in both black and white and color.
"I like that I'm getting experience," Leuck said.
Co-worker Jeff Shaffer's previous job was packaging wood products and putting stickers on pipes at a state-run workshop.
Working for the department is a big-deal job, Shaffer said.
"We're working for the state, and that means it's important," he said. "I never had a government job before."

"CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Matt Frank had been dead for eight hours when the first goodbye message to him was posted on his MySpace page.
The note was short and simple: I love you. I'll miss you.
Dozens more followed, as disbelieving friends took to the Web to mourn the 17-year-old and three other teenagers who were killed Sunday when a car -- crammed with nine passengers -- slammed into a utility pole after a late-night house party in suburban Chicago.
"All I can say out of everything that I told you and taught you, I wish so bad that you wouldn't have taken my quote to heart... 'Live well, Party hearty, Die young,"' wrote friend Kristi Morrison, 19. "I'm so sorry I wish I could take that back... I love you so much man."
More than half of teenagers who use the Internet frequent social-networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, where they create elaborate profiles and personalize them with photos, music and video. It follows that the online hangouts have become as important to young people in death as they were in life.
"These are places where people in many ways lived their lives online," said Amanda Lenhart, a senior researcher at the Pew Internet & American Life Project. "And what better way to grieve or mourn a person than in a space they created."
Policies on what to do when an Internet user or blogger dies vary among services, illustrated by the 2005 case of a Marine killed in Iraq whose family went to court to get access to e-mails he had sent through a Yahoo Inc. account.
Pages live forever
MySpace avoids deleting the deceased's profiles unless asked by family members, which means the profiles-turned-memorials can stay active for years. Other social-networking and blogging sites, such as Xanga and LiveJournal, also host memorials tied to deceased users' pages.
"We often hear from families that a user's profile is a way for friends to celebrate the person's life, giving friends a positive outlet to connect with one another and find comfort during the grieving process," MySpace, a unit of News Corp., said in a statement.
Bernice Hartman didn't know her daughter had a MySpace account until the 21-year-old soldier was killed during a September suicide bombing in Iraq.
Months after Jen Hartman's death, messages and tributes -- even Thanksgiving greetings -- continued to pop up on the site.
"It's hard to read, but it's more comforting," said Bernice Hartman of New Ringgold, Pennsylvania. "I think it's easier for her friends. They come to us at the funeral and say things, but I think it's easier for them to leave a message on that than to talk to us personally."
Even the funeral industry has gotten into the act, providing forums for e-condolences on Web sites like Legacy.com and Mem.com.
Bennett Leventhal, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Illinois Chicago's Institute for Juvenile Research, said mourning on MySpace is a natural extension of a society where handwritten notes have given way to e-mails and text messages.
"The Phoenicians had to chip it into tablets," he said. "(This) is just a different form of communication. I don't think it changes the subject or intent. ... It's just another form of public grieving."
Because networking sites don't monitor the contents of every profile, it's possible for people to post disparaging comments.
The posthumous messages on Frank's page, however, tell of shared kisses, parties, adventures, basketball games and the grief of cleaning out the teen's bedroom.
"Since the pages are personal it sort of feels like you are still able to talk to the person you just lost, and it seems to offer an intimate means of sitting down by yourself and having that last goodbye," said Phil Lorenz, 27, a family friend who posted a goodbye message.
So far, Morrison has posted notes to Frank's profile three times, as well as to the pages of the accident's other victims.
"I didn't get to say goodbye to any of them. And I just wanted to say goodbye," she said in an interview. "I don't know if it makes people feel better. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, that they are reading it from heaven."

what does this mean and how can i fix the problem??? please help
NooNoo: Two possibilities bootzki
DVD Decoder is a possible problem... there is a free one at www.videolan.org
Download it and try again.
But much more likely is you are a victim of DVD types.... Blank disks come in + or - format so you can have + R and + RW and -R and -RW.
Older laptops tend to be able to play +R (but not all, it's never that simple) and DVD players are often good with -R format... again not always!
So how do you tell? First you need to find a friend who has a computer and a dvd drive that can burn both +R and -R. Then insert the disk and in the burning program there is usually a disc info section which reads the disk and tells you what's on it and what format it is.
You then get said friend to burn a copy of the skydiving video on to the other format for you to test on your laptop. So if it turns out your skydiving disk is a -R, ask your friend to do a disk copy onto a + R disk and then test it on the laptop and the DVD player.
It's a nuisance... when I do home videos for friends, they are always confused as to why I give them two copies with a big R on it and I have to explain it's not the R, it's the + or - that precedes the R that's important!
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

I suggest you buy a second-hand Hi8 camcorder as a matter of urgency, so at least you've got a player. I also have two working VHS recorders.
Ideally you could play them through a video capture card. This will probably take at least the runtime of the tapes. A poor alternative is to project them on a small, bright screen using a video projector, while filming them with a digital camcorder, ensuring somehow that frame rates don't clash unacceptably.

"..Speaking to the Alex Jones Show, Steele elaborated on previous revelations by making it known that the CIA helped bankroll Google at its very inception. Steele named Google’s CIA point man as Dr. Rick Steinheiser, of the Office of Research and Development.
"I think Google took money from the CIA when it was poor and it was starting up and unfortunately our system right now floods money into spying and other illegal and largely unethical activities, and it doesn’t fund what I call the open source world,” said Steele, citing “trusted individuals” as his sources for the claim...
"Right now, there are two pieces of legislation in Congress that would change the Internet forever if they are enacted. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) would give the federal government the ability to potentially shut down millions of websites. SOPA (the version being considered in the U.S. House of Representatives) is the more dangerous of the two. It would essentially be the equivalent of a nuclear bomb being dropped on the Internet. It would give government officials unlimited power to very rapidly shut down any website that is found to “engage in, enable or facilitate” copyright infringement. That language is very broad and very vague. Many fear that it will be used to shut down any websites that even inadvertently link to “infringing material”. Can you imagine a world where there is no more Facebook, Twitter or YouTube? Sites like those would be forced to hire thousands of Internet censors to make sure that no “infringing material” is posted, and many prominent websites may simply decide that allowing users to post content is no longer profitable and is just not worth the hassle. Are you starting to get the picture? That is why we must stop SOPA. If SOPA is enacted, it could be the death of the free Internet.
But this is exactly the kind of bill that the establishment media has been waiting for. It would give them back control. SOPA is being heavily promoted by big media corporations. If they are able to shut down free speech on the Internet, then suddenly everyone would be forced to rely on them for news and entertainment once again.
That is why SOPA and PIPA must be stopped. A recent editorial in the New York Times described how these new laws would work….
The bills would empower the attorney general to create a blacklist of sites to be blocked by Internet service providers, search engines, payment providers and advertising networks, all without a court hearing or a trial. The House version goes further, allowing private companies to sue service providers for even briefly and unknowingly hosting content that infringes on copyright — a sharp change from current law, which protects the service providers from civil liability if they remove the problematic content immediately upon notification. The intention is not the same as China’s Great Firewall, a nationwide system of Web censorship, but the practical effect could be similar.
Everyone would be deathly scared of allowing anything to be posted on their websites in such an environment. Free speech on the Internet would be a thing of the past.
An article on lifehacker.com explained how easy it would be to bring a claim against a website under SOPA….
If it’s possible to post pirated content on the site, or information that could further online piracy, a claim can be brought against it. This can be something as minor as you posting a copyrighted image to your Facebook page, or piracy-friendly information in the comments of a post such as this one. The vague, sweeping language in this bill is what makes it so troubling.
Fortunately, some of the biggest names on the Internet are rallying to defeat SOPA. For example, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt says that he believes that SOPA will actually “criminalize” links….
“By criminalizing links, what these bills do is they force you to take content off the Internet”
Another huge name, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, is alarmed that SOPA would give the U.S. government the power to censor search results without even having to go through a court trial….
“Imagine my astonishment when the newest threat to free speech has come from none other but the United States. Two bills currently making their way through congress — SOPA and PIPA — give the U.S. government and copyright holders extraordinary powers including the ability to hijack DNS and censor search results (and this is even without so much as a proper court trial)”
In the United States, we used to believe that the government should not take our property away without a fair trial.
But now SOPA would allow the U.S. government to hit Internet websites with a “death penalty” without even having to go to court.
If SOPA becomes law, the Internet will change dramatically.
If there were no websites where people could post thoughts and ideas, what would the world look like?
Over recent months we have seen how sites like YouTube, Twitter and Facebook can literally change the face of the globe. The following comes from the same New York Times article referenced above….
YouTube, Twitter and Facebook have played an important role in political movements from Tahrir Square to Zuccotti Park. At present, social networking services are protected by a “safe harbor” provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which grants Web sites immunity from prosecution as long as they act in good faith to take down infringing content as soon as rights-holders point it out to them. The House bill would destroy that immunity, putting the onus on YouTube to vet videos in advance or risk legal action. It would put Twitter in a similar position to that of its Chinese cousin, Weibo, which reportedly employs around 1,000 people to monitor and censor user content and keep the company in good standing with authorities.
Do we really want Chinese-style Internet censorship in America?
Thankfully, the Internet community is fighting back against SOPA really hard.
Initially, GoDaddy.com was publicly supporting SOPA, but a boycott organized on Reddit has hit them really hard. In fact, GoDaddy lost more than 70,000 domains just last week.
All of this pressure forced GoDaddy to renounce its support for SOPA. However, they are not actively opposing the bill at this point.
Congress is in recess right now, so action on SOPA and PIPA is stalled for now. But the battle is far from over.
And the stakes are incredibly high. One blogger recently put it this way….
“If either the U.S. Senate’s Protect IP Act (PIPA) & the U.S. House’s Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) become law, political blogs such as Red Mass Group [conservative] & Blue Mass Group [liberal] will cease to exist”
Yes, the free Internet that we all love and enjoy today is under assault.
If we do not stand up now, we may lose it forever.
Every single day, control of the Internet gets tighter and tighter. For example, did you know that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is now watching everything that is said on Facebook and Twitter?
The following comes from a recent Daily Mail article….
The Department of Homeland Security makes fake Twitter and Facebook profiles for the specific purpose of scanning the networks for ‘sensitive’ words – and tracking people who use them.
Simply using a word or phrase from the DHS’s ‘watch’ list could mean that spies from the government read your posts, investigate your account, and attempt to identify you from it, acccording to an online privacy group.
But it is one thing for them to watch the Internet.
It is another thing for them to shut down free speech on the Internet entirely.
Please do what you can to save the open and free Internet.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is helping to organize users of the Internet to protest this draconian legislation. The following is from a statement that the EFF recently put out….
As drafted, the legislation would grant the government and private parties unprecedented power to interfere with the Internet’s domain name system (DNS). The government would be able to force ISPs and search engines to redirect or dump users’ attempts to reach certain websites’ URLs. In response, third parties will woo average users to alternative servers that offer access to the entire Internet (not just the newly censored U.S. version), which will create new computer security vulnerabilities as the reliability and universality of the DNS evaporates.
It gets worse: Under SOPA’s provisions, service providers (including hosting services) would be under new pressure to monitor and police their users’ activities. While PROTECT-IP targeted sites “dedicated to infringing activities,” SOPA targets websites that simply don’t do enough to track and police infringement (and it is not at all clear what would be enough). And it creates new powers to shut down folks who provide tools to help users get access to the Internet the rest of the world sees (not just the “U.S. authorized version”).
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has created a page that makes it very easy to send a letter about SOPA to your representatives in Congress. You can find it right here.
There is also a website called “Stop American Censorship” that has even more ways to let the federal government know that you do not want SOPA to pass. You can find that site right here.
We must stop SOPA. The Internet has made it possible for average people all over the world to communicate with one another on a grand scale, and this is a direct threat to the establishment and the big media corporations that they control. They are going to try again and again to take back control over the flow of information. We must not allow them to succeed.
Please share this article with as many people as you can, and please do what you can to help defeat SOPA."
ACTION:
"
Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.
The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late. "

If you want to transfer your 45’s, EP's, and LP's to CD, reasonable results with cheap and even free software can be achieved. Not quite the standards of the professionals, but reasonable never the less. So here’s a guide on how you can proceed.
If your turntable is connected to a Hi-Fi amplifier with a dedicated phono turntable) input, then connect a stereo phono lead (sometimes referred to as RCA leads) from the 'line out' or 'record out' from your amplifier to the 'line in' on your computer. The socket on your computer should be labelled 'Line In,' very often colour coded Blue and may have a symbol by it which looks like four or five curves in a line and an arrow running through the middle pointing away from the smallest curve.
If however you have a turntable, but no amplifier or don't have access to one (ie. beg, borrow, steal - well maybe not steal!) or your amplifier has no dedicated phono/turntable input, then you will need a 'phono pre-amp'. This piece of kit amplifies the very small signal coming from the turntable to match the input of your soundcard (ie. the 'line in' on your computer) and also changes the frequency response of the signal so the sound is acceptable to listen to.
If you are going to use a pre-amp, then connect the phono (RCA) lead from your turntable to the input of the pre-amp and the output of the pre-amp to the 'Line In' on your computer soundcard, so you will need another stereo 'phono to phono' (RCA to RCA) lead to run from the pre-amp to your computer.
This pre-amp will work fine for LP's EP's and 45's, but technically the match should be different for 78 rpm records, and even different 'matches' for different types/labels of 78's - however unless you are wanting a professional result then a standard phono pre-amp should be fine. If you are going to use an audio editor, or dedicated software then you can use their built in graphic equalizer to 'tweak' the sound anyway.
Now you are connected, you need some software to record your audio. The first thing to do is decide what end result you would like. Here are some options:
If you just want a simple way to transfer your LP to CD with no restoration, splitting the audio into tracks isn't a priority, and you have some software to burn the file to CD then try Audiotouch Lite. It has the simplest interface ever. Once a couple of settings are made it's a 'one button' operation. You can also use this software to record any audio running through your PC, like Internet Radio or a microphone. Another piece of software is ‘Audacity’ which is a very good audio editor and is free. It’s rather more complicated to use though, so expect a bit of a learning curve to begin with.
The other option is a dedicated Software Package that will Record your LP, Restore, split your recording into tracks, and Burn to CD. You may even find you can save your audio in MP3 format so you can transfer your audio to a portable player. This is definitely the way to go especially if you have quite a few LP’s to transfer, and of course these packages include an option to clean up the audio to remove crackles, pops, and other unwanted noises. It is surprising how long it can take to transfer your LP’s so a small investment in dedicated software to begin with makes the process so much easier and quicker.
There are quite a few software packages to choose from. I've never come across free software in this category and some are quite good but some are awful! So beware. I’ve tried quite a number so here are a few which make a good job and don’t cost very much.
Steinberg Clean is very good, if you can get hold of a copy, but I think it has been dropped. Some suppliers were still advertising it at the time of writing this, plus of course there is always ebay.
Acondigital.com’s Acoustica 3.3 is very good as is Acoustica’s Software ‘Spin it again’ (Don’t be confused by the two ‘Acoustica’s – they are different companies). If you would like more information on these packages then visit our website where you can see the results of my tests on both packages.
Setting up the software is straight forward and ‘wizards’ take you through this process, so it doesn’t take long at all, plus it’s well explained in the ‘help’ files. All these software packages will burn your transferred audio file to CD in a format that will play both on your computer and a normal home CD player. The process is all included in the wizards and is very easy to do.
I hope this has given you an understanding on how you can transfer your LP’s to CD and you enjoy the end results.

"Q: Growing tired of the Facebook privacy scandals, I tried to leave the social network, but you need to be a member now to access a number of outside websites. How can I get around this?
A: Facebook, as you're well aware by this point, has a history of privacy scandals. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is constantly trying to push what privacy means in the 21st century — how transparent should we all be on the Internet? — but with each step, a significant number of users push back. Last week, Facebook announced on its Developers blog that it was making it possible for third-party applications to gain access to users' mobile phone numbers and addresses. By early Monday morning the Facebook team had dialed back the change until further notice.
Some of the privacy issues have been just too much for users, resulting in cancelled accounts. But more and more organizations are joining the Facebook Connect network and incorporating the site's development tools into their own. It's getting to the point where you're at a disadvantage if you don't have a Facebook account; you can use it to log in with the same username and password on more than two million sites — it's not just for checking in on your cousin's newest baby pictures. So, here's the trick: You can go nearly invisible on Facebook — nobody will be able to view your photographs, see your activity or where you've checked in except for existing friends — but still have an account to use around the web.
If you're ready to move into Facebook stealth mode, follow these simple steps:
• Visit Facebook.com, log in to your profile and click 'Account' in the top-right corner. From there, choose 'Privacy Settings.'
• From the 'Privacy Settings' page, click on 'View Settings' to see who can search for you, send messages to your account, see your education and work settings and more. Change all of these drop-down menus to 'Friends Only.'
• Return to the 'Privacy Settings' page and choose 'Customize Settings' near the bottom of the page. This new page will load a number of different privacy options, but you'll want to click through each one and change the setting to 'Only Me' so that nobody else can see your Facebook activity.
• Stay on the 'Customize Settings' page and scroll down to 'Things Others Share.' Here, you'll want to edit and disable settings so that your friends are unable to write on your wall, comment on posts and check you in to places.
• Return to the 'Privacy Settings' page and, under 'Apps and Websites' in the bottom-left corner, select 'Edit Your Settings.' This page shows all of the third-party websites and applications that you have given access to some of your Facebook information. If you see anything on this list that you want to remove, just click to remove it from the list.
• Stay on the 'Apps and Websites' page, scroll down to 'Instant Personalization' and select 'Edit Settings.' Uncheck the box at the bottom of this page to block other websites from accessing your Facebook interests. Select 'Confirm' when a pop-up asks you if you're sure you want to disable this option.
• Return to the 'Apps and Websites' page, scroll down to 'Public Search' and select 'Edit Settings.' To keep search engines from finding your Facebook profile, uncheck the box on this new screen."

Other Thoughts: I use it at work to store all my personal files and music which takes up alot of space on a hd. I will not move it around much which keeps me from dropping or mishandling it. If you need extra hd space and are not concerned with portablilty then this is ideal. so far i have been satisfied.

"SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (ANS) -- An Internet ministry which has published more than 40 million evangelistic outreach brochures in more than four decades has become the target of malicious spam, hacking and phishing, causing its operation to shut down.
ACTS International was founded in Australia by Dick Innes, who has been based in Southern California since the early 1980s.
"What God has done and is doing through this ministry is amazing when you realize that there are only two of us on our U.S. staff -- my wife, Joy, and myself," Innes told ANS.
According to Innes, more than 40 million of ACTS printed Encounter outreach brochures have been distributed by several thousand churches, chaplains (military, prison and hospital), other organizations, business people and individuals.
"Ten years ago the U.S. ACTS office changed from hard copy print media to communicate via the Internet and E-mail which has proven to be very efficient and effective," he said.
"Since going online and starting in a very small way ACTS has received 23,401 salvation and re-commitment to Christ responses. Of these responses 3,507 have been received so far this year and have come from 119 countries that we are aware of."
A listing of these countries can be seen online at www.actscom.com/news.php#countries.
Innes said that ACTS also publishes a weekday devotional, Daily Encounter, which has over 184,000 worldwide subscribers, and Weekend Encounter which has over 10,000 subscribers.
He continued: "Combined with prayer partners on the Prayer Encounter subscriber list, ACTS has over 200,000 worldwide subscribers. A big percentage of the salvation responses come from Daily Encounter subscribers as many non-Christians are subscribed to this list.
"Unfortunately, however, in the past three weeks our major websites of www.actsweb.org (of which we have several including sites in French and Spanish) have been maliciously attacked.
"Last year a phisher sent out 80,000 spam email messages making them appear that they were coming from an @actsweb.org email address.
"Three weeks ago another phisher attacked us sending out pornographic spam emails making them appear that they came from an @actsweb.org email address," Innes said.
"As a result all of the response pages on our ACTS websites were closed down as was the sending out of our Daily, Weekend and Prayer Encounter subscriber emails. In the process of changing to a new server we were hacked for a second time -- causing a complete close down of our actsweb.org websites. On the very first day of moving to the new server we were hacked again. And closed down again."
Innes went on to say: "As of today our tech support team are little-by-little putting online only a small section at a time, making sure that these are as safe as possible from hackers, phishers and spammers."
He added: "Obviously the enemy hates the publishing of the gospel and Word of God and as technology continues to get more and more sophisticated, we can be sure that these evil malicious people will continue to do all in the power to block the publishing of the gospel. Thus all websites and e-mail services that are doing the work of God are going to need more and more prayer for God�s leading, provision and protection."
The ACTS main website is www.actsweb.org, which is currently being rebuilt.
Innes concluded: "We are also in the process of setting up a special gospel outreach service for churches to replace our literature ministry that hundreds of churches have used.

"(Reuters) - Iranian hackers have repeatedly attacked Bank of America Corp , JPMorgan Chase & Co and Citigroup Inc over the past year, as part of a broad cyber campaign targeting the United States, according to people familiar with the situation.
The attacks, which began in late 2011 and escalated this year, have primarily been "denial of service" campaigns that disrupted the banks' websites and corporate networks by overwhelming them with incoming web traffic, said the sources.
Whether the hackers have been able to inflict more serious damage on computer networks or steal critical data is not yet known. The sources said there was evidence suggesting the hackers targeted the banks in retaliation for their enforcement of Western economic sanctions against Iran.
Iran has beefed up its cyber capabilities after its nuclear program was damaged in 2010 by the Stuxnet virus, widely believed to have been developed by the United States. Tehran has publicly advertised its intentions to build a cyber army and encouraged private citizens to hack against Western countries.
The attacks on the three largest U.S. banks originated in Iran, but it is not clear if they were launched by the state, groups working on behalf of the government, or "patriotic" citizens, according to the sources, who requested anonymity as they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
They said the attacks shed new light on the potential for Iran to lash out at Western nations' information networks.
"Most people didn't take Iran seriously. Now most people are taking them very seriously," said one of the sources, referring to Iran's cyber capabilities.
Iranian officials were not available for comment. Bank of America, JPMorgan and Citigroup declined to comment, as did officials with the Pentagon, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Security Agency and Secret Service.
A U.S. financial services industry group this week warned banks, brokerages and insurers to be on heightened alert for cyber attacks after the websites of Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase's experienced unexplained service disruptions.
NBC reported late on Thursday that the Iranian government was behind these attacks, citing U.S. national security sources. Reuters could not verify that independently.
Tensions between the United States and Iran, which date back to the revolution in 1979 that resulted in the current Islamic republic, have escalated in recent years as Washington led the effort to prevent Tehran from getting a nuclear bomb and imposed tough economic sanctions.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Google disclosed Friday that its Street View cars had mistakenly collected data about the Web sites users were visiting on open wireless Internet networks.
Alan Eustace, a senior executive in Google's engineering and research department, apologized for the mistake in a blog post and said the company is working with regulators to dispose of the data.
"We are profoundly sorry for this error and are determined to learn all the lessons we can from our mistake," Eustace wrote.
He said the company has stopped its Street View cars, which are used to gather information for Google's mapping service, from collecting WiFi data entirely.
Eustace also stressed that the data was only collected from networks that were not password protected, and that it was never used "in any Google products."
While the data were collected from networks that were not password-protected, Google would not have been able to access any encrypted data, such as bank account information, the company said.
Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) had previously said that its Street View cars only collected information that is publicly broadcast on WiFi networks, such as network names and router numbers. At the time, however, the company said the cars did not collect "payload data" sent over the network, which could include what Web sites people are visiting.
That disclosure, in a blog post on April 27, was in response to an inquiry from the German data protection authority.
On Friday, Google said the request from a German authority had prompted the company to conduct an internal investigation of "everything we have been collecting," according to Eustace.
"It's now clear that we have been mistakenly collecting samples of payload data from open (i.e. non-password-protected) WiFi networks," he said in his post.
The mistake stemmed from an experimental piece of software code, which sampled all categories of publicly broadcast WiFi data, that was inadvertently included in a program the cars began using in 2007 to collect other wireless data.
Eustace said "only fragments" of data were collected by the cars, which use equipment that automatically changes channels about five times a second.
Danny Sullivan, editor of industry blog Search Engine Land, said the cars would have only detected "snippets" of information, and that encrypted data would not have been compromised.
"There could be some incredibly sensitive data in there, and there could be some that means very little," he said.
Sullivan said he was not surprised that Google could have made such a mistake. "But it doesn't make it any more acceptable," he said, adding that the disclosure comes at an inopportune time for the company.
"This is a really bad thing for them to have happen right now," he said. "They're already under fire on privacy because of the way they rolled out Google Buzz."
In February, Google modified a feature on its new social network service that automatically made people's private contacts public, after an uproar over the privacy breach. To top of page
