'Safe'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I want/nned some sort of used PDA for keeping notes about everything, especially sizes of windows and walls and rooms for my house when i go out shopping for things for home improvement.
Any suggestions for a price point and model that would fit these basic needs?
If they were cheap enough both Andi and i could have one.
The Palm Zire is their cheapest model at $100. You can find something even cheaper on eBay.
You also might want to consider getting a digital voice recorder.
I can't afford $100 to replace a spiral notepad.
Any suggestions for the under $25 range would be more my budget.
Digital voice recorders are the special deal today at this site: [link]
Unfortunately a DVR is not what I have in mind. I'm wanting to replace the graphical nature of a notebook. I'm quite visually oriented.
Not that my inner geek doesn't want one of those. They also have their uses.
The past couple days, I'm having an impossible time downloading large files. Can anyone recommend a good download manager? I'm tired of dying halfway through.
I have been using that myself with the flashgot firefox extension.
Can someone talk me through SMTP? My understanding of the protocol was that the email did not have to travel directly from sending server to destination server. However, reading I am doing right now seems to contradict that.
In that case, the security vulnerabilities of an exposed message lie just in the two servers, right? And there's no provision for a secure connection between the two within the protocol?
I think there's the possibility of authentication between the servers--I had to do that for my school's smtp server. And that can use SSL. But that's the only security I know for it.
