Re: Google is the Devil

I've been lucky on using who is the few times I've needed it. But then too I was searching for a company with their own ID and it was associated with their IP address. Haven't done that in years though.

Re: Noodle Making

Would you believe I've worn boots since I was about 4 years old, except for the SADDLE SHOES we had to wear to school. For most of my life, I worked on things where the droppings would end up in your shoes. This don't happen with boots. Plus, boots never come untied, if you have slip-on type of boot...

Re: TinyPics Demise

I think my problem is that I keep everything. Great when it is organized, and crazy when it is not. I still have over 7,000 photographs which are not filed away, all from my wife's niece. None of us know the names of most of the folks in those group pictures, and the ones we do know it seems we alre...

Re: Old and Helpless

That other name I couldn't remember of who I drove sand and gravel for was Phillips Sand and Gravel However, I was driving for Siemers Sand and Gravel, and YES I was in Balltown. My delivery was to Coomey Publishing on Robert Taylor Lane,...

Re: TinyPics Demise

I hear ya! One of the reasons my websites have so many formerly linked now turned off links was because of the space I was allocated at my early websites. Inlink only gave me like 5 megabytes for my website, which was only like 1 or 2 megs back then. When my BBS started hosting websites, they only g...

Re: Noodle Making

Many years ago, during my years working for Steffen Electric, Walmart had a closeout sale on the brand of boots most of us who worked at Steffen wore. I got two pairs for only 18 dollars each. That was a bargain and a half, because those boots held up for over 10 years. Actually, they were still in ...

Re: Way To Go - Finally

Just another gimmick to sell more Schmartz-Fonz. I used Google Authenticator for about six months and got so fed up with it I had it turned off. Here's the problem: I have several computers here, and only a Flip-Fone. Now, as long as I'm on the same computer, I can log-in with no problems. But the m...

Re: Apex Pro

For the same reason companies sell printers well below cost. They make their money from the peripherals. Do you think Canonical doesn't have a stake in Ubuntu? With over 400 designers, developers, and project managers all on salary, they have to be making money somewhere. OpenStack Cloud server prog...

Re: Google is the Devil

Of course they have my IP address, and know what type of system I'm on. How else could they fetch the page I requested and send it back to me. My frau got really pissed at one of the websites she goes to, because they kept listing her as being in Vestal. Apparently they only see the zip code and app...

Re: Old and Helpless

For some reason I recall being in that town. Way back when I was hauling sand and gravel for either Siemers or what was that other company, I'll remember it after I send this, hi hi. I could be wrong, but I delivered an entire truckload, and I'm talking about tractor-trailer size not little dump tru...

Re: Noodle Making

Some stores, like Ace Hardware for example, are really BIG on Customer Service. You find just the opposite at places like Home Depot and Lowe's. Some of the wonderful mom n pop stores we had around here had excellent service. Unfortunately, when mom n pop retired and the kids took over, many of them...

Re: TinyPics Demise

I thought as much, since the only links that work are ones to my own image folders. When Comcast pulled the plug on me, several of the websites where I had my log-in picture disappeared. A lot of website you can upload your log-in picture, so you have your image displayed as an icon. But all other p...

FOSS means the SOURCE CODE is OPEN and FREE to anyone who wants it. Most folks, including me, do not know how to Compile the Source Code for a particular type of machine and OS. If you wanted, you could take any FOSS program and Compile it to work on a Windows, MAC, or most other computers. Folks ha...

Re: Way To Go - Finally

You heard about the hack that affects nearly every commercial airliner currently in service. It was discovered they can take over complete control of the airliners. They knew about this possibility, but it was way to expensive to correct the problem. One of the ways folks on Farcebook are getting ha...

I use a program that blocks ALL Tracking Cookies, but I do keep the kind of cookies that help with using a website.
I've been using Google Chrome now for many many years without problems.
I also use the Google Toolbar, but it too is under a different name and g-mail account I've never checked back on.

Re: TinyPics Demise

Welcome to the group! Unless things changed drastically, almost all ISPs used to give every customer a free website. I know the one I used for many years, Comcast, they finally turned off the switch and took away our websites. So I had to scramble to get my websites moved to a new host. But before t...

Re: Noodle Making

You are right once again. No matter what it is, people want it at the lowest price possible. One thing I think is sorta phunny is how people perceive what the price of something should be, many don't recognize a bargain if hit slaps them upside the face. Or they will compare two totally different pr...

Most folks only use their computers and cell phones as toys, things to play with, do simple things like text messages, surfing the web, where Security is not all that big of...

Re: Apex Pro

The reason broadcast stations used to not have to pay royalties on the music being played, but the did only to the songwriters, was because it was considered FREE ADVERTISING for the music artist to sell more records. Since nobody buys records anymore, and most music is downloaded from on-line, the ...
