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!
To prompt you when a program is making a big system change, for security reasons
I'm sorry but "You are about to view information transmitted over the internet" (i.e., OMG, YOU OPENED INTERNET EXPLORER!!!!) hardly qualifies as a big system change. And yet, the prompts. OH DEAR GOD THE PROMPTS.
That doesn't sound like a UAC prompt, though. Although I agree it's stupid. I've never quite figured why both IE and Firefox warn about transmitting information over the internet might be insecure. Duh.
As long as I have any kind of pokey appendage...
my shuffle charger is just a pokey appendage but a friend who was over last night couldn't use it to charge his iphone. I guess he didn't have the right kind of attachment.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
(When using a pokey appendage, you do need to consider the user's orientation....)
I'd say logmein.com is secure enough, Polter-Cow. It's been around for many years and I've never heard of any problems with it.
Ooh, thanks. I'll look into it. I think I would find it most useful for, say, starting my Skins ahem so it's ready for me when I get home. And finding people's e-mail addresses in my Outlook Express at home. And uploading music that I have at home. I...think I could find many uses for it.
Some of the Firefly server how-tos included how to get to your home iTunes collection from anywhere on the internet. How freaking cool is that? Static IPs for all!
the shuffle charges thru the headphone jack. The iPhone needs a dock connector to charge.
Polter-Cow - you watch Skins?

I noted that, and was disproportionately smug.
amych, did you get Firefly set up over the weekend?
