TECHNICALLY SPEAKING:

Roxanne Fryer, Kcnet Technician, worked up this recovery procedure for KCnet members who experience stalled email on the KCnet server.
If you are trying to download KCnet email with an email program and you get the message like (Receiving #3 out of 7 messages) and it just stays on the message # 3 and does not seem to want to retrieve it, that usually means the message is very large and it may not come down through the dial up connection.
What you should do is:
1. Close your regular email program
2. Temporarily disconnect from KCnet to break the connection. Sometimes email programs will continue to try to download email messages in the background even though you have closed the program.
3. Re-connect to KCnet and go to http://mail.kcnet.org.
4. If you automatically go to our home page when you open your browser, look on the left side of the page. Under the KCnet logo, click on Webmail.
5. Enter your name (which is your username) and password, and click on Login.
6. Your messages are shown. If the size column is not shown, click on “Options.” After entering “Personal Information,” go to “Index Order” and add “size.”
7. Look for any messages that have an M in the size column (ex. 3.5M). These are the problem emails, holding up any messages from coming into your email program.
8. You can view and/or delete the file when you are finished reading it. If you cannot delete the file, click on “Options” again and go to “Folder Preferences.” Click the down arrow on Trash Folder and choose “Do not use Trash.” Then Click on “Submit.”
9. You can also view, delete, forward, reply, and create messages in Webmail. It is just a regular email program.
10. Keep in mind that anything you delete from here, will not be available for downloading into your regular email program. Anything left in this Webmail program is still on the KCnet server and will be available for you to download into your regular email program (Outlook Express, Netscape, etc.)
11. Close Webmail when you are finished.
12. Open your regular email program and get the remainder of your messages.
Note:
You can not delete messages from Webmail while you have your regular email program open. If your program is checking for messages and you are trying to delete them, our server gets confused and locks up, telling you “ Your mailbox has been locked by pop server” In this case you need to stop checking all mail for about 20 min. and the mailbox will unlock itself.

BUYER BEWARE - THIS IS A SCAM

The above graphic has been circulating in emails. Don't be fooled. Do not FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. The email is just a picture. Sometimes the picture has additional text or an unrelated poem under it.
This is a scam and doing business with this type of seller will bring grief instead of the desired Operating System.
As of this posting, this particular site is down. However they will probably pop up again with a different address and accept money from folks who think they can buy Vista early and cheap. After Vista is available on the open market scammers will continue to tempt buyers with ridiculous pricing through emails just like this. If you want Vista or any other copyrighted program make sure you purchase through recognized and reputable dealers and sellers.

Formatting Cards
A reader asks, "What's with card formatting? Do I really need to do it? I just popped my card into my camera and everything seems to work okay. What's the deal"?

Well, formatting a card basically ensures that it is going to work right with your camera, so it is a good idea to do that.

Just like computers, memory cards have file systems, folders, etc. When you use your camera to format a card, it sets the card up the way the camera needs it to be, in order for it to function properly.

Now, for the most part, if you just pop in the memory card, it will usually work. Most cameras will automatically put all the necessary "stuff" on the card for you, regardless of whether you've formatted it or not.

However, formatting a card is a very quick and (mostly) painless procedure, so I recommend doing it the first time you pop the card into your camera. Do it just in case. Since the actual way you format the card varies widely from camera to camera, you'll have to consult your owner's manual for specific "how to" advice.

In addition to getting the card ready to use with the camera, formatting can also fix minor problems. If your card and camera are not getting along too well (lots of error messages, bad writes, etc.), try formatting the card. Sometimes it works and sometimes the card has passed to the great digital beyond, but either way, it's worth a try.

All that useful technical stuff aside, formatting is a quick way to delete all the images off of a memory card. Rather than scrolling through and picking them off one by one, just do a format. The images will be erased in a matter of seconds. Of course, don't do this if there are images on that card you may want to keep!

Stuck Pixels
Do you have a new LCD monitor (or even an old one) that seems to have a "stuck" pixel on it? Let me explain a little more. It could be any point on your monitor that seems to always be a little brighter or duller looking than the rest of the colors. This isn't uncommon, especially with brand new LCD monitors.

Why does this happen? Well, it's usually caused by a transistor malfunction or by an uneven liquid distribution in the liquid crystal display. If you are having a problem with this, there is an easy way to try and fix it. First, turn off your computer and the monitor and get a damp cloth to use on your screen. Next, apply some pressure to the area where your stuck pixel is located. Make sure you don't put pressure anywhere else, because that could cause more pixels to stick.

While you're still pressing the pixel area, turn your computer and the monitor back on. Remove the cloth and the pixel should be back to normal. The pressure helps to spread the liquid around the stuck pixel area. Doing this will also help with the backlight of your monitor, allowing more light and the different colors to come through. If this doesn't solve your pixel problem, you may have to go the software route. A good one to try is JScreenFix, http://www.jscreenfix.com/ .

Dead Pixels
Ever since I wrote the tip about stuck pixels, I've gotten questions from several readers about the difference between those and dead pixels. Is there a difference? Well, as a matter of fact, there is. Before you go any further, read here to find out what a stuck pixel is first. That will help you in understanding this tip a lot more. Okay, once you've read that, you may proceed!

The main difference that comes along with a dead pixel is that there is a part of your screen that is completely unlit. (On the other hand and as you read, a stuck pixel is either more bright or dull than the rest). So, when you have a dead pixel, the rest of your screen will look normal except for one space that is completely dark. This can happen with LCD screens, as well as, some sensors in digital cameras.

Most dead pixels are only clearly noticeable if you have a solid color for the background of your desktop. Otherwise, you might not even know they're there. Also, just for your information, if you have a pixel that is completely white all the time, that is called a hot pixel. Either way, if you have one dead pixel or even a cluster of them, you can always send your screen back to the manufacturer for a fix or a new one. And to be honest, they're too annoying to deal with otherwise!

Applet Defined This one from Worldstart.
We often use this term in our computer tips, so I got to thinking that it might be a good idea to tell you all what it actually is. How would you like that? Yeah, I thought you might be interested. So, here's a brief definition of applet just for you!

An applet is one part of a software program that actually works within another program. The term is short for "application" and it is usually used to perform somewhat of a narrow function in a given program. An applet helps to provide further functionality and performance in a program that cannot handle more by itself. Applets are usually written in a complied language, which is unlike the HTML or script language you might be used to.

A good example of an applet is a Web browser. Browsers are often kept in restraints by certain default settings and the applets within a browser help its other capabilities to come out. For instance, a Java applet helps a Web browser to be able to show videos and other plug in formats. Many games work with applets as well, especially when there are 3D formats involved. Basically, all of the "cool" stuff you see on your browser comes from any one of the many applets available today. That's the best way to describe it!

Writing for the Washington Post Coming in January: "Month of Apple Bugs"
A pair of security researchers has picked January 2007 as the starting point for a month-long project in which each passing day will feature a previously undocumented security hole in Apple's OS X operating system or in Apple applications that run on top of it.

The "Month of Apple Bugs" project, currently slated to begin on Jan. 1, is being orchestrated in part by a security researcher who asked to be identified only by his online alias "LMH." This is the same researcher who in November ran the "Month of Kernel Bugs" project. LMH's partner in this project is Kevin Finisterre, a researcher who has reported numerous bugs to Apple over the past few years.

The current craze for featuring a new bug each day for a specific time period began this summer with researcher HD Moore's "Month of Browser Bugs," which highlighted unpatched security holes in Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla's Firefox, Apple's Safari browser, and even Opera. With most of the browser bugs, Moore alerted the affected software vendors prior to publishing his findings.

To the chagrin of some security experts, however, LMH declined to give affected vendors advance noticed before posting evidence of kernel bugs on his Web site last month. Eleven of those kernel bugs were related to Apple software and applications, including a serious security hole that prompted a software update from Apple just two weeks later. As with the kernel bugs project, Apple will be given no advance notice with the Month of Apple bugs, LMH said in an interview conducted over instant message.

LMH said that while his upcoming project had the potential to at least temporarily make security more tenuous for the average Mac user, he believes that in the long run the project will improve OS X security.

"Right now, many OS X users still think their system is bulletproof, and some people are interested on making it look that way," LMH said.

It should be interesting to see whether Apple does anything to try and scuttle this pending project. In November, a researcher who focuses most of his attention on bugs in database giant Oracle's software announced his intention to launch a "Week of Oracle Database Bugs" project during the first week of December. The researcher abruptly canceled the project shortly after the initial announcement, without offering any explanation.

I downloaded the new Internet Explorer 7 and ever since, I keep getting some sort of clipboard message when I'm visiting Web sites. What's all this about?

Excellent question! This actually came to our attention last week when it happened to one of our staff members. I figured it probably had already happened to some of you too and sure enough, I received an e-mail a couple days later from a reader asking about it. So, all in all, this is the perfect time to tackle this topic.

Now, before I go any further, some of you may still be stuck on the word "clipboard." You may be wondering what the clipboard is and what it does. Well, let me explain this first. The Windows clipboard is a component of any Windows operating system, so everyone has one. The only difference is it works a little differently than some of the other programs that come along with it. It is mainly used to store your information, such as files, images, documents, etc. All of these items are able to be placed on your clipboard. Then, once the information has been copied to the clipboard, it can be pasted to any other location on your computer.

For example, if you found some information on a Web site that you wanted to place into a Word document, you could copy it to your clipboard and then paste it from there. Now, the confusing part about this is that you can't really access the clipboard like you can other programs. It is a built in Windows component and it works transparently. Whenever you copy something, that information is automatically placed on your clipboard. You can't see it, but it's always there. Then when you go to paste that information into another program, it's taken from the clipboard and if everything is compatible, the information will transfer. I know this is a little hard to understand, so if you're still having trouble, click here for a couple more examples that may clear things up for you.

Okay, now back to the Internet Explorer issue at hand. Before version 7, Internet Explorer has been set to allow any Web site to read any of the data that is stored on your clipboard. Sometimes, that may not be in your best interest, so IE 7 has some made some changes in that aspect. When you're using IE 7 and the clipboard option is about to happen, you will receive a pop up notification about it. The prompt will say "Do you want to allow this Web page to access your clipboard? If you allow this, the Web page can access the clipboard and read information that you've cut or copied recently." You can then either hit the "Allow access" button or the "Don't allow" option.

This is basically just a new feature you can use to help keep your information more private. For example, if you happen to copy any of your personal information, it will be available on your clipboard. It will remain there until you copy or cut more information to cover it up, so it's best to keep it as private and as safe as possible. So, if a Web site you're looking at in Internet Explorer tries to take that information, you can now deny it access.

Luckily, there is a way you can stop the clipboard access all the way around as well, if that's the way you prefer it to be. To do this, open up IE and go to Tools, Internet Options and click on the Security tab. From there, click on the Custom Level button and scroll down until you see the section for Scripting. The second option will be "Allow Programmatic clipboard access." Change the default setting to Disable (or Enable, if that's what you want). Click OK twice to exit and you'll be good to go.

Now, just as a side note. The information you put on your clipboard will also disappear when you log out of or turn off your computer. But, always keep in mind that it will be there until you replace it or shut down. Also, just to let you know, other Web browsers like Firefox and Opera do not allow this clipboard thing to happen at all. Although that may make IE look bad, at least they're now taking this into consideration and they're letting you make the choice. Do whatever is best for you!

Study: Majority of teens stay private online By Stefanie Olsen, CNET News.com
Published on ZDNet News: January 8, 2007

Just more than half of all U.S. teens use social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, according to a new Pew Internet & American Life Project study.

But of those 55 percent of teens, age 12 to 17, who have created a personal profile online, 66 percent say that their information is not visible to all Internet users, according to Pew Internet, the nonprofit research arm of the Washington-based Pew Research Center.

"There is a widespread notion that every American teenager is using social networks, and that they're plastering personal information over their profiles for anyone and everyone to read," Amanda Lenhart, a senior researcher at Pew, said in a statement. "These findings add nuance to that story."

Since social networking sites like MySpace and Friendster exploded on the teen scene more than three years ago, it's become of national concern that kids are posting too much information about themselves and are at risk of being solicited by predators. That has caused a range of action: Some schools have banned children's use of MySpace; legislators have proposed new online rules for social networks; and worried parents have turned to software to monitor their child's activities online. Sites such as MySpace also have taken it upon themselves to institute security measures to protect younger members.

The Pew survey attempts to examine teenagers' attitudes and habits regarding social networking. The Pew Internet Project interviewed 935 teens age 12 to 17 from October to November 2006. It said the survey has a margin of error plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The survey found that 55 percent of online teens use social networks, and 55 percent of teens have created an online profile. Among all those surveyed, older girls age 15 to 17 were the most active users of social networks. Older girls use the sites to reinforce pre-existing friendships, and boys use social networks for flirting and making new friends, according to the report.

Of those surveyed, 48 percent of teens visit social networking sites daily and 22 percent visit several times a day.

About 91 percent of all teens on social networks say they use them to stay in touch with often-seen friends. About 82 percent use the sites to stay close with friends they rarely see in person. Making plans is also a popular activity on social networks--72 percent of those surveyed said they use sites to make plans. Another 49 percent use the sites to make new friends.

"Both boys and girls rely on social networks to keep close tabs on their current friends, but older boys are much more likely to use them to meet new friends and flirt in the comfort of an online environment," according to the researchers.

Mike's Comment: If you have a son, daughter, or grandchildren that use computers - check in with them. Determine if they use these social networks. Do not assume that they would be in the percentage of the youth that do not allow their profile to be public. I would feel much better if 100 percent or our computing youth had their profiles listed as Private. 45 percent public profiles make a lot of customers for eager perverts and molesters.

Subject: Good Idea for an Alarm This idea struck me as doable. As soon as I'm done posting I'm going to try it out. (Mike)

IF YOU HAVE A CAR WITH AN ALARM IN IT.
Next time you come home for the night and you go to put your keys away, think of this:
It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation.

Start keeping your car keys next to your bed on the night stand when you go to bed at night.
If you think someone is trying to get into your house, or if you hear a noise outside your house, just press the panic alarm on your car key chain.

Test it! It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage.

If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the burglar or rapist won't stick around.....after a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that Try yours to make sure it works before you rely on it. Just know that you must press the alarm button again to turn it off.

And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot
The alarm can work the same way there.....

VIRUS AND OTHER STINKY STUFF:

THE TALLY:
Friday, November 18 -- Thursday, November 24
According to Sophos, a leader in Anti Virus Software development, 34 new/improved viruses, which required Anti Virus upgrades, were released into cyberspace via email.
&
KCnet's anti virus program caught and "defanged" 30,401 email viruses in addition to sending 196,007 non spam and non virus messages and refusing 234,843 spam messages.

Sophos notes that this is virus season. Many of these buggers constantly replicate themselves on infected computers, sending themselves to every email address in that computer each time the user reboots. Each one sent and not blocked by a service provider or personal antivirus program can replicate itself and send to every email address in the new host's computer, and on and on and on.

Have you updated your anti virus program lately?
If not, may I recommend that you do it now?

************************************************************************************************** Free Virus Scans
Best done with The Internet Explorer Browser.
Computer Associates, a reputable and reliable anti virus developer introduced a new free program which allows anyone to do a virus scan without downloading any software or registering for an anti virus program. You must use Internet Explorer for access to Computer Associates and to perform the scan. This is a good one and very simple to operate The address is http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx

Trend Micro, more commonly referred to as Housecall, offers free virus scans and in most cases can fix damage down by a virus or worm that your computer may have contacted. The program works well. The first time one uses the free program it is necessary to download a small program. Trend Micro walks you through the process. Then the virus scans are quite simple for each return. Go to http://housecall.antivirus.com/ then choose the link "Scan without registering". Follow the directions.

True Viruses and Warning Letters of Impending Doom.
Believe it or not, the amount of harm done by sending false computer virus alarms and letters of impending doom to your thousand closest friends can be just as damaging as the alleged virus (if it even exists!); if you remember the story of the boy who cried wolf, you understand why.
If you think you've got the scoop on the latest new devastating virus or latest doom warning, check it out at the Web sites below before taking it on yourself to alert the world. If the virus is as terrible as you think it is, odds are the virus fighters already know about it and -- good news here! -- your anti virus software provider probably knows about it too and already has an update for it.
