    ps, a friend of mine used the old firefox on a USB stick trick, and was very smug, until he lost it.

  2. Use the Mouse on Best Way To Avoid Keyloggers On Public Terminals? · · Score: 0

    While travelling I would make use of the mouse while typing in passwords, deliberately mistype your password and then use the mouse to select the incorrect text and then type to correct it, I bet keyloggers don't record mouse strokes, yet.

  3. Re:I think he had it coming, really on Dealing With an IT Bully · · Score: 0

    I agree, using terms like "new reality", "context" and "enabler", he's definitely in management, and definitely deserves to be called an idiot.

  4. FFS on Gadgets You Backpack Around the World With? · · Score: 0

    You people are such geeks! A camera, pen knife, g-shock (or just a watch with an alarm), and an optional mp3 player that works like a pen drive (my crappy canon compact doesn't). You don't even need GPS, I've plotted all my points quite happily without it using maplandia.com hth, Jamie

  6. Re:Angry Customer on Your Favorite Support Anecdote · · Score: 0

    Yeah I had a similar problem once with Freeserve, as is was then, and made a whole load of phone calls to their premium tech support line. One of the pieces of advice I was given was that I had to open interent explorer before I would be able to see the internet. Eventually I convinced them that the problem was at their end, real tech support called me back and I was eventually able to bill them for the £17 of phone calls that I had made.
