an english version is also available here ...
- the hardcoded windows-limitation, to 10 tcp/ip connections
(as it is in servicepack 2) cAn be patched to 50, p2p users will appreciate :) ~*~

Subject: I heard of similar problems
- but it's hard to guess ... I would use an emergency CD with virus/trojan-scanner
- those minimal systems don't need the hard drive and do their work independently ...
the repair programs on the CD might not help directly - but give you better diagnosis ... ~*~

I will wait two weeks though, to see whether bugfixes will be released yet ...
the activeX prompt is still not on by default, but a lot of security improvements
were done ... the firewall is still uhhhm basic. safe only against intruders, but no
(possibly trojan) outgoing traffic is observed at all ... Outpost or ZA are still obligatory ~*~

the standard german dsl (1500) was sped up to 2000 now, without charge.
sadly my 3000 dsl didn't go up to 4000 though, they experiment with 5000 ... ~*~

The US music industry, mainly known for lacking of creativity, skills and intelligence,
tries to launch a new plot at freedom, encouraged by an according governement.

Now programmers, even just owners of videorecorders/computers get under us ambush.

some links to stay tuned and in touch for counter-actions:

the vulnerability in mozilla/firefox bbw reported in 7/10 ... actually on 7/8
the team had worked on the configuration already - to check whether
your version of mozilla/firefox is safe, visit their security page ... ~*~

depends on your graphics-card - many of them have special drivers providing
controldecks for the so called gamma-correction, possibly even for single colours
If you're not uptodate that way, try searching www.cnet.com for 'graphic tweaks' ... ~*~

sometimes it depends on where exactly you click.

Subject: A nice tool for mozilla - - Release Candidate 3 works with FireFox as well ... Fully Customizable Prefs-Bar
Modified by danoschek (24. July 2004, 05:12:20)
Some webpages refuse to work properly but with IE ... Microsoft is used
to sabotate competitors anyway - here's a workaround, the Mozilla Prefbar
it gives you direct access to all them useful preferences, e.g. enable/disable
javascript (i.e., for ebay), clear cache, permit images, kill flash or, force own colours,
if a webpage appears to be unreadable else - best gimmick though is a user-agent
that pretends to be Internet-Explorer 5/6 :D quite a few sites, 'broken' before for mozilla,
will work properly then ... please note that changes will be effective immediately albeit perceptible not until next refresh ... ~*~

they come with a basic memory equipment ... sometimes only 20 MB though ...
that's enough for quite a few pictures - but not for longer videos ... ~*~

Memory cards can become quite expensive ... Prices go down,
but perhaps it's a good idea to use a portable Mini-Harddisk 1.8",
they come with 1.5-2 GB and even fit into some of the standard
cardslots ...there are portable notebooks HDs as well - much cheaper ...
a seagate momentus 5400 with 40 GB is only €115 (+case ~€150) while an
SD MemoryCard from Kingston 512 MB is already about €95 - last not least
there are portable CD-Recorders, they read directly from your cam
and burn it to CD - average price about €150 ... good luck hunting ... :) ~*~

I remember having encountered a similar effect if just a single message on
a board is not properly wrapped hence extending the width of the screen ~*~

Subject: nothing is safe :)
the teams won't let 18 days pass though, like microsoft has done, I bet.
not to mention there are stages of risk, 4 from low to critical - indeed
I am using IE also from time to time, with ActiveX prompt, minor risk. ~*~

go figure without the net and bridging intercultural differences, many
people might not even have been notified that english arrived in australia and,
rather tending to think that they speak a dutch dialect spawned in 1503 :D ... ~*~

XP-AntiSpy that is ... deals with a lot of hidden default-values
of Windows. Services that contact the net without letting you know,
only for your own good of course, as Gates of Chaos explains permanently.

XP-Antispy is obligatory for Windows XP Home, as some administrative
features are not accessible altogether unlike in Windows XP Pro.

That is removing the bandwidth limit. Those notorious 'services'
of Microschwartz actually get 20% bandwidth reserved - on a T1 connection
transfer made a leap from 2875 kB/s to 3180 after AntiSpy ... judge yourself. ~*~

Modified by danoschek (7. July 2004, 02:53:57)
Mozilla has mailsupport and all the newsgroups-stuff implemented, but
separated you have Thunderbird for mail and FireFox for browsing then.
Another advantage, FireFox has special, fancy plugins for geeks. ~*~

it's the embedding of a browser into the system
which makes many connections being abusable ...

oh and there ARE viri for linux meanwhile ... ;)

I'm safe only if I connect wia my Amiga 1200,
Browser Voyager and Miami Dialer ... :D smoothly even
without e603+ ppc 200 MHz turbo, at a 50+50 MHz 68030/82 ... hehehe ! ~*~

still only workarounds - no patches released by the vendor ~*~

There's no browser as fast as Firefox 0.9

Subject: Spybots
according to a test of magazine pc professional
Pest Patrol acchieved the best result when confronted with
an almost unreal, very malicious mix of trojans and spyware ...

Spybot ranked 2nd and AdAware 3rd ...

I made the experience that Spybot found items on a system
cleared with Adaware but it happened also viceversa ...

doublegalloppel seems to be no idle effort thus ... :D ... ~*~
