playBunny: Yay! Thanks again!

playBunny: Thanks if it works 8^)
I'll have to wait until I close out my browser, which I have too many tabs open now to do so. But if it does, YIPPIE! I have MOST my other game sites setup to take me directly to my gamelist, without having those messy logins (I had to play around with my cookies to force some sites, but messing with BK's cookies didn't help ).

Arctic Warrior: re :And U can add all your messenger buddies from the other programs.
----
yes true,most of the messengers are adding that function

ScarletRose: you can only get a Gmail account by invite...for now.I will invite you.
I am check 1st with you,tell me which email you want the invite sent to.
as soon as you reply to this question by message to me,I will sent out the invite.

I am familiar with yahoo too..I still have sereval yahoo art groups.

Summertop: Thankies.. Volant sent me an invite earlier.. I wanna check out the IM.. hehehe

Walter Montego: Netscape 8 is the latest version, and yes, I think it's still owned by AOL.

WhiteTower: A 80286 in my work is a little desktop - above the monitor. At this computer I am making the DOS-Past real life :-)

Fencer: Those 386/486s are PERFECT for Linux experimenting, aren't they? :) I mean, you just CAN'T have all the luxuries of modern GUIs there, so you're forced into some pretty hardcore stuff :)

Fencer: I just retired my 486 a few months ago. I got the computer used in 1995. Though I usually just used AOL's browser I did have NetScpae 4.08 on it. This was from before NetScape went out of business because of Microsoft adding their browser to their Windows program. I think AOL ending up buying NetScape and released a 6.0 version (Skipping the 5.0 series of numbers), but I don't know if NetScape as owned by them is around any more.
That old computer is why I started playing on turned based sites. I couldn't keep up on live sites against newer computers and broadband. Having this new computer sure makes it a lot easier to play here now. Pages load lots faster. If I ever go back to the DSL or another broadband set up, I'm sure that will really get me some fast loading.

ScarletRose: Just send me a PM with the email address you want a gmail invite sent to. Others can too.

As an instant messenger, I like trillian. You can hook up with Yahoo, AOL(AIM), ICQ, MSN & IRC, and the basic version is free.

WhiteTower: Ha! You may be right :-)

Fencer: Could be some outdated, but still working 486s that can't go any higher than that :)

nobleheart: I downloaded it.. but, need to have someone send me an invite to get a gmail..

I got an ICQ to talk to you Steve, but actually I prefer my Yahoo messenger.. I know my way around Yahoo way better..

Oh I see...When I had the MSN messenger working, it always signs me off automatically & vise versa..never had any problems w/ it. It was a 7.0 & now I have 7.5 messenger

MagicDragon: I meant that old and outdated browsers are usually full of bugs and security holes. It's not recommended to use them.

I know that I have set my security on high & every other day I do a complete scan of all my files & delete my temporary files as well

It's interesting to see in our logs and stats that some people still use MS Internet Explorer 3.0, Firefox 0.1 or Netscape 3.0 to access BrainKing. I wonder if they ever heard about a security.

This is an awesome program.

And U can add all your messenger buddies from the other programs.

nobleheart:
I dont know anyone "avoiding" MSN.
I have been using MSN messenger for 7yrs and NEVER had a problem. But then again, I keep my anti virus and firewall up to date. And all my received foles are scanned (as are my outgoing ones)

I'm 99.9% sure that its also the only one that works for webtv as they "were" the same provider. *Microsoft*

Marauder.860,I know that damn name.that virus I caould not quanantine or delete,scred up my computer so bad I had to refornat my hard drive

nobleheart: I don't know if it works for webtv. I've gotten a computer since March

Rose: google is planning on expanding into many services but 1st analyzing services & creating "one that does it all.

playBunny: yes playbunny,I know this but the Marauder.860.B and some of the new variants of the melissa class viruses make use of patching into this.
also the Marauder.860.B trailblazes for 2 spybots.
as I said,I learned the hard way.

nobleheart: I've got it installed, if anyone wants to try it out lemme know. I like that it connects to my gmail for me too!

Rose :
I was oing to test drive it,nusy with java stuff right now.
MagicDragon :
does it work on webtv?? dont know,few things do.webtv is so limited( no java)

nobleheart: Took me a while to find it
http://www.google.com/talk/
Looks like all the other chat progs. Anyone on here using it now?

nobleheart: I have alot of friends & family who are still on webtv & this is mostly the only thing that works unless I'm mistaken. I do have messenger from Yahoo however. I'm wondering would Googles new messenger be capable w/ webtv?

I thought most people are avoiding MSN messenger.
there are ones with much better features.
and the fact that MSN messenger permanently leaves a port open makes it easy for spyware & viruses to get in.
I learned the hardway.then I reviewed tham all.I am using ICQ now,esp since it recently has new features:
buddy list can be imported from other messengers
messenger games

but my google lab buddies tell me googles new messenger leaves them all behind.
I havent checked it out yet.

I have a problem w/ my messenger & don't know what to do about it...I tried at least 6 times to change my password & after each time I gave 1 day before I tried to log into it (for my Hotmail account)& keep getting that I was logging in to much. Would I have to completely delete everything related to it or should I have to reboot? I can still get into my Hotmail but not the messenger part.

playBunny: Sorry, playBunny, the circumstances here at BK are not helpful for my mood to set up a wiki about brainking on my server.

playBunny: I can host it. Let me some days - on the server are some websites and I must configure him ... beside working.

Fencer: Thank you, now all three offending pages are happily full of the information they were supposed to have :)

As a software engineer myself (on a sabbatical right now) I'd raise your adrenaline a bit in order to get things fixed, rather than shut up when I am sure there's something obviously wrong outside my control ;) If you wouldn't mind, and just out of sheer curiosity, what was the problem after all? And would the solution to this problem prevent others from having it in the future?

WhiteTower: Wait a minute. Maybe I found something.

Fencer: Hi Fencer, this is playBunny logged in as WhiteTower. I'm accessing this account from London whereas WhiteTower is in Ireland, so presumably I'm using a different routing infrastructure. Certainly it's a different computer! And I'm on Windows 2000 Pro. I don't know what WhiteTower's OSes at home and work are.

I can confirm that the same pages are giving the same problem. What appears in View Source is [!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"-HTML-HEAD-META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1250"-/HEAD-BODY-/BODY-/HTML] for Internet Explorer and simply [html-body-/body-/html] for Firefox.

All other pages work fine, as did the dozen games that I challenged myself (ie. playBunny) to and resigned as WhiteTower. Mwaahaahaahaaaaaaa. ;-))

It's a puzzler. :-/

My son just LOVES this screensaver

http://www.cleanscreen.info/SS.html - on this page you have to e-mail the creator and he will send you a link. Donationware - meaning if you like it, he would like a donation - but other then that it is free

Oh, and you can check out the web version here (without getting a screensaver.)

http://www.cleanscreen.info/

WhiteTower: To verify your presumptions you will have to test the case NOT in your next area.
If you are able to reproduce the whole on a PC far away from here (in a shell, remote X or VNC) then we can assume a bk problem.

But fencer tried your account at himself ... and he said all is ok. So what?

chessmec: In case you didn't read my earlier message, I said that the same problem appears from two COMPLETELY different PCs, setup-wise and connection-wise, therefore it is NOT a problem from MY side, but either an account or a BrainKing problem - unless you can logically find a third alternative...

Hrqls: if somebody has an x-server so that he can try it remote-logon he can do it. i can offer him only a linux shell (but in which he can test in lynx the pages).

I think the problem is the computer (NOT fencer or BK). In the problem about the logo (posted here, http://mec.tuwien.ac.at/ ) the problem was only ONE PC (which is the same as mine, from the same image and so on ...).

WhiteTower: if you want you can change your password and let someone else login to your account

i am willing to test it for you if you want me to do it (if you want to be secure you send fencer a pm with the time you changed the password, and then he can always turn moves back when i would make a move in your account .. but i wouldnt)

Fencer: OK, but that means that either I am lying or that you are not willing to investigate this. I am not lying - we could have something like a VNC connection or a NetMeeting session so that I show you. Therefore, you are not willing to investigate. Can you think of other alternatives?

WhiteTower: Nothing of that. What I log to your accout, everything works correctly.

Fencer: I notice the same thing from my work PC (behind a company firewall) as well as from my home PC (standard broadband connection) - so it must be something either in my account data in the database, or with BrainKing itself...

Jason: I'll remove it soon, it was there only for testing purposes.

can i take google of my main page ?
i havent seen an option anywhere to remove /disable it .

could someone please adjust the URL that is causing this page to be about 10 feet wide :)
thanks

playBunny: Yes and when your home page is indexed by Google, anybody can easily obtain your login information and use your account.

Fencer: I was thinking if they did that, then they would not have to click "login" and have the extra click.

Maybe not - I always sign in so I have not tested that.

chessmec: Both TU Wien logos OK.

BIG BAD WOLF: What's an advantage of it?
