Other options

Thanks to Symantec for investigating this issue. I would propose other solution to this problem which might be better and/or cheaper and/or easier: - Upgrade to IE8 (since this one is not vulnerable) - Use other browser such as Firefox or Opera (which usually have faster bugfixes) - Don't use Windows but switch to Mac (expensive) or Linux (free) instead

What a loser comment.. All Windows and .NET are is pure bloat that slows software to 1970s standards. There, my standard.

can't program the tab key itself

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:11:35 +0000

I have not been able to program the tab key itself. I.e., if you type tab in the Keyboard Shortcut field it actually tabs. If one could tempo turn off tabbing in lists, one could work around it, but the system preferences panel does not support that.

Nice story, too bad nobody heard it

CodySafe Admin Pack & Launcher: The Swiss Army Knife of portable admin apps

Ron Barrett — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:10:01 +0000

I have written the past about portable applications that Admins can carry with them. I came across a new 'suite' of portable applications that are being touted as the Admins Swiss Army Knife, and for good reason. The CodySafe Admin pack hosts 75 portable administrative tools into a single suite that installs onto a portable device and takes up less than 63MB of space. Within this tiny package...

BareTail. I use it to monitor log files as they happen. It's an executable that lets me see a file just as I can with the 'tail' command in linux.

Xerox's Alto is the root of the GUI tree!

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:06:56 +0000

Xerox's Also was the original GUI and you could certainly say that elements were "borrowed". It ran on machines with huge Black and White HiRes monitors. If you are thinking that Apple's GUI (way back then) looks like an almost direct rip off, you are correct. Microsoft's management and marketing are simply incompetent. They are more interested in the spin than making a good product. Their commercials make them look like complete morons that have no clue how to position their product.

DGard Network Manager: Complete network management in an easy to use tool

Ron Barrett — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:43:06 +0000

One of the things that have become a reality of our current economy is that IT needs to more with less. In some cases that means taking on more tasks within the network as well. IT departments that once were once extremely segmented are now finding that they have been contracted to minuscule sizes in some cases. Of course, some IT shops have always had that chief, cook and bottle washer scenario. In...

E-mail is asynchronous and relatively private. IM requires both parties to engage and social networks like Facebook or Twitter are like sending postcards. All of those media have their place, but message boards and IM will not replace e-mail.
