For many years I’ve been backing up important data from my PC hard drive to CDRs every 2-3 weeks, which is a bit of a bother because I have to select the data to back up each time, the process is time-consuming (in PC terms, it only only takes 5-10 minutes), and I’ve been reading about inexpensive flash memory devices that hold 1-2 GB and operate as an auxiliary drive. Questions: 1) is a flash drive a secure way to save important data, and 2) does it operate fully as another drive on the PC, i.e., can I just drag and drop files from the main drive to the flash drive, which I would then store in another physical location? Thanks.

Hi so I recently purchased Norton Security 2010 and installed it into my laptop. However it said that it could be installed onto 2 additional computers. My brother’s PC is in need of security, and i just cannot figure out how to put it on his computer, could someone help me?
Sorry, i forgot to mention i purchased it from the internet

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. >From 1929 to 1953, about 20
million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians,
unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and
exterminated.
——————————

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political
dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated
——————————

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan
Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
—- ————- ————-

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians,
unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated
people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
—————————–

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun
control: 56 million.

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to
surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own Government, a
program costing Australia taxpayers more than 0 million dollars. The first year
results are now in:

List of 7 items:

Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.

Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.

Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!

In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.
Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and
criminals still possess their guns!

While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery
with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since
criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY.
Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after
such monumental effort, and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian
society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove
it.

You won’t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating
this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control
laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it’s too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this
history lesson.

With guns, we are ‘citizens’. Without them, we are ’subjects’.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most
Americans were ARMED!

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your
friends.

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword
is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final
weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

I am trying to identify various areas of United Kingdom (England mainly) legislation relating to Information and Communications Technology, that impose duties on company directors. For example the Data Protection Act…
What other legislation places responsibility on a company director?

actually i want to format my computer and in the mean time i want to save my important files n folders stored in the computer by making a back up cd. so can someone help me out that which kind of cv wil b better to use and if possible some short methods to backup data quickly

Well he came to see me twice in my apartment. We are not close at all. His grandmother and my aunt are close friends but since both of them are in their senior yrs and are ill - the two of us (the grandson and I) communicate thru text messages and to check how his grandma is and how my aunt is doing. 1st time he came to my place was to sell me insurance and at the same time to tell me about his life story then proceeded to tell me if I needed anything he’ll be more than happy to help even if it was just to talk. 2nd time he came over was to ask me how I was and then he proceeded to tell me more about his life, the way he struggled with it and how he handled everything. He’s very friendly and being too open that it’s alarming - alarming bec he’s got a wife and kids and that 2nd time he visited me was after he got out from work and his visit lasted ’til 10pm. Am I just being paranoid?
I just remembered his wife works the graveyard shift while he works during the day time. He also mentioned that he is more of a risk taker while his wife is the opposite. The 1st time he told me he was coming to see me I told him I could meet him at the mall then he said he’d just go straight to my apartment. If he asks to visit the 3rd time I’ll tell him to meet me at the mall or somewhere where it won’t be just the two of us.

I recently bought an External Harddisk. I want to keep my data both official & personal in that, hence to protect privacy,piracy & virus threat, i feel if I can create separate logical drives in my HDD with some password security, it would be nice. What software helps me for this problem? Kindly reccommend!

I use avast home but i have a license for avg internet security!!!

It was rewritable before; I had already reused it once, with Sonic RecordNow. I just got Imesh, and need to burn the WMA files onto a CD to convert them to MP3. But the CD is write-protected; how do I remove the write-protection?

(Oh, and I know that I could just get another blank CD, but this is for future reference.)

The old ones had the screens on the right and always used your screen name.

The new ones make the words appear on the left and in my case use my Yahoo! ID, which shows up on questions instead of my screen name. They also are written so big they prevent easier scrolling down to find desired data compared to the original.

I don’t want to use my Yahoo!ID for questions for security reasons. Has anyone else noticed this problem with the new format?

Its mainly for college in a year. I need to know encryption theory, stuff like that. Any help?

so im deciding to get an alarm on my car but i might get a different car soon so is it difficult to transfer the alarm ?

Can I stll use my security monitor to sound the alarm if someone breaks in my home after the system had been turned off. ADT said the equpment they installed is mine to keep. I thought maybe I might be able to rewire it or tweak it so the loud sirun would go off warning us.

i often have this experience that ive been hearing a weird sound in my brain, literally. dont get me wrong, im not into drugs and have no plans of trying or even entertaining it.its like a sound of a water spurting from a punctured hose,i cant figure out why its manifesting on me, i happen to think that it occurs when im stressed out ,depressed, lacking of sleep, or when i just dont think of anything,its not hurting though, its just kinda odd.it recurrs over and over again, almost everyday.actually im not alarmed by it,just curiuos about it.can anyone tell me what could this be.
it also sounds like an ice being separated from a metal container,i used this example bcoz we have an ice block business,and tahts what i hear when we try to dettache the whole block from the metal container by putting and splashing water outside and inside the container so the ice block can be detached. tahts like what it sounds like,the moment the ice is deliberately being dettached from its container. or maybe when someone chipping to freeze like when i saw the movie "the day after tomorrow" and"saw 3". i dont know but i can always associate it with ice.

The airports of the developed world have been turned into mini prototype police states, with little or no backlash from those forced to pass through them. But of course we’ll suffer any assault on our God-given rights to ‘save us from the terrorists,’ won’t we? This argument is based on the assumption that there are actual terrorists worth worrying about and secondly that the measures being taken in our airports are aimed at stopping their activity. Both claims cannot be substantiated.Following in the footsteps of several US counterparts, Sydney Airport recently announced its beta testing of face recognition biometric cameras, aimed at identifying ‘terrorists and other undesirable travellers’ according to the Sydney Morning Herald. As with all biometric technologies, the digital algorithms that make up your facial features are captured and compared with a computer database of criminals. If you resemble an enemy of the state then red flags are immediately coordinated to the operator and your dangerous terrorist activity is brought to a swift halt.

Proponents of this system fail to take into account that terrorist masterminds are hardly likely to use notorious criminals to carry out operations where their movements will be filmed a hundred times over. If there were nineteen hijackers on September 11 roaming around American airports, surely there would be multiple video sequences of their activity? The FBI says so but all they have provided us with is a dodgy tape of Atta with two different time stamps on it. The rest is classified ‘due to the ongoing investigation’.

Another fairly important factor related to facial recognition technology is that it doesn’t actually work. A Boston Globe report, cited by The Register, concludes that a similar test at Boston’s Logan Airport failed miserably. You see, not unlike a toaster that only has two settings – burnt and warm bread – facial recognition technology is either far too sensitive or positively laid back. Either Ahmed and his terrorist chums walk on by unhindered or a mother with a pram is likely to be subjected to an armed standoff. On the non-sensitive setting, anyone who is aware of the technology can avoid it by wearing a pair of sunglasses.

So what other methods will Big Brother present in order to ‘save us from the terrorists’?

In the first stage of what will eventually morph into the behemoth ‘Total Information Awareness’ – the US Justice Department has proposed anti-terrorism regulations that would entail everyone who wanted to fly in and out of the country would be forced to disclose detailed personal information. This report was carried by The Washington Times. Even though the Immigration and Naturalization Service would implement the regulations, the law would apply to American citizens. This at a time when both the northern and southern borders are more wide open than ever. The ACLU, more interested in making sure gay people are allowed to cavort in street parades, have declared no opposition to the proposal.

Some people, perhaps even most, would have no aversion to providing their name, date of birth, citizenship, sex, passport number, country of residence, U.S. visa number, and address while in the United States. I would certainly support such measures for foreigners if I were under the delusion that our governments had any incentive to prevent terrorism. But what most don’t realize is that this is only the initial stage of a nice little horror that the government has been planning for a year or more.

As can be judged from reports early last year by both The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, these new proposals are merely the first generation in the creation of a centralized government database via the airports and airliners and one which will possibly form the largest chunk of Total Information Awareness.

Federal aviation authorities (power) in alliance with technology companies (greed) eventually plan to delve much deeper into your personal life, right down to your daily activities through to what magazines you read. This, according to Joseph Del Balzo, formerly with the FAA, will enable the government to have, “a pretty good idea of what’s going on in a person’s mind.” Such minute details would characterize an individual’s ‘threat assessment’ – so if you willingly submit to letting the government know how many times you go to the toilet a day then you’ll get a green security grade, cheap airline tickets, fast airport security checks, convenience and consumer love. On the other hand, if you have any semblance of morality or memories of what it was like to live in a free country and refuse the ‘trusted traveller pass’ – you’ll get a red security grade and will be rightly hassled for the subversive that you are.

The government will have a large task on its hands collating all the data, but has already been assured by market research companies that the system is workable. They will willingly pass on the data they’ve collected on you from all those annoying dinnertime calls, just for a small slice of the money pie. Big Brother then quashes our fears by promising us there is no possible scope for abuse of the program. Officials admit that ultimately the system is designed to be integrated into the biometric national ID card. Let me spell it out for you. A mandatory national ID card with your biometric thumbprint scanned on which tells the reader how the government view your behaviour on a scale of ‘submissive and compliant with state demands’ (green) to ‘definite subversive, possible enemy of the state and potential terrorist – 9pm house curfew’. Get the picture?

Just take a glance at how the early ‘security measures’ have played out at airports across the world. Every week we hear stories about 18-year-old zit faced adolescents fondling blonde haired, blue-eyed women because they might be terrorists. Or how obese, greasy old men take 8-year-old Katie aside for some ‘special screening’. Nicholas Monahan, a film producer, related the harrowing tale of how his pregnant wife was forced to expose herself and have screeners touch her breasts in full public view at Portland International Airport. Upon seeing his wife crying her eyes out, Monahan complained and was subsequently arrested and thrown in the airport jail (yes they do have those now). Monahan likened his experience to something out of The Gulag Archipelago. The trauma of the experience contributed to his wife having to have a caesarean section.

Don’t forget for a second that all this is coming from a government that is ‘manufacturing terrorist alerts to keep the issue alive in the minds of voters and to keep President Bush’s approval ratings high’ according to World Net Daily. Go look for the definition of terrorism in your dictionary and you’ll get something similar to, "The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.” By this very definition, the only group gaining a political advantage from terrorism or the threat of terrorism is the White House! Who is creating the ‘terrorist threat’ to justify the windfall of power and money that goes hand in glove with new airport security regulations? The very same group pushing the security regulations.

Here’s a solution that would prevent another September 11 from happening, along with preventing our airports from becoming police state processing points. It’s a solution that is loaded with common sense, guaranteed to work, but would make no money for technology companies and wouldn’t contribute to feeding Total Information Awareness, which is just coincidentally why the government has been dragging its feet over implementing it. Arm the pilots.
