Even though I have religious and political opinions you won't find any religious or political opinions here. I try my best to make sure the sites I list are cool, fun, safe and free but I'm only human. As for content if I wouldn't tell all my family and friends about them I wouldn't put them here.

You Don't have to pay for protection

The internet is the greatest economic opportunity since the gold rush. Honest people of integrity are using it to make fortunes but just like every opportunity it has attracted scammers, con-artists, thieves and every type of parasite known to man. You don't have to buy a security system and hire guards to protect you from the unscrupulous. With a little knowledge and common sense you can protect yourself for free.

Just because it's free doesn't mean it's inferior.

Almost all of the research, I have read, says that the freeware available to protect you is as good as, and sometimes better than, the software you buy. AVG's free edition, Ad-Aware 7, Spybot Search and Destroy 1.3 and ZoneAlarm are some of the top rated freeware. I use them, except for ZoneAlarm, and have never had a problem. I don't use a firewall because I am on Juno dialup for about an hour a day, rarely use Internet Explorer, don't have Outlook installed and both Symantec and GRC.com say my ports are closed. If you can't close your ports, are online a lot, using Outlook/Outlook Express or are using cable/dsl than you need a firewall. I rarely use Internet Explorer. I prefer Maxthon. It does use the IE core and API's just like my Juno browser but it's different enough to give the bad guys trouble.

Some of the pay software are actually bad guys in disguise.

Some are slightly changed infringing copies of the good freeware. Some spyware scanners install adware. Some adware scanners install spyware. Some do both. Some ask you with a popup ad if you would like a free scan and put bad things in before the scan so it can say your system needs cleaning, charge you for the cleaning and then put more bad things in to spy on you. The best place to find out who are the good guys and who are the bad is Spyware Warrior. They maintain a database that is updated frequently and is free.

I protect myself from bad websites.

I use the IE core security settings to protect me that's why I use browsers that use the IE core. I set the security for My Computer, Local Intranet and Trusted Sites low. For the Internet they are set to medium and for Restricted Sites they are set high and everything is disabled. To tell my browsers which are the restricted sites I use IE Spyad which is free. Every month I download the new list of bad sites from IE Spyad and update my restricted sites. I can easily add any individual site to my Trusted Sites or Restricted Sites. I also use the FireFox browser, which doesn't use any of the IE core or APIs, if I even suspect there might be a hazard.

I update Windows, AVG, Spybot, Ad-Aware and IE Spyads every month.

If I think I still might have a problem I get a free second opinion by using the free online services.

You don't have to pay for protection using freeware and free services but if you find them useful you should upgrade to their pay versions which have either more features and/or support and in some cases, like Maxthon, you can make a donation. These are good programers who need our support for future projects.

The following links include all of the freeware I talked about plus some others that I find useful.

Protecting the Local Machine Zone manually
If you can't or don't want to use commercial software to tighten the security of the Local Machine Zone, you should at least lock it down manually, which costs nothing.

Although the Local Machine Zone is a security zone used by Internet Explorer, by default it is hidden from users. That means when you click Tools, Internet Options in IE and select the Security tab (as described earlier), the Local Machine Zone doesn't show up as one of the zones you can configure.

Microsoft documents in its online Knowledge Base a Registry setting that makes the Local Machine Zone visible. This doesn't affect its security, it simply makes it possible for you to alter the security settings of the zone.

Before altering the Registry, first make sure you back it up and know how to restore it if you make a mistake.

Then click Start, Run, type regedit and click OK. In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, find the following Registry key:

SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Zones \ 0

In that key, the Flags value, which is a DWORD, controls whether or not the Local Machine Zone is visible in IE's Security tab. Set the data value to 47 (in hexadecimal) to display the zone or 21 (in hexadecimal) to hide it.

Microsoft's description of this procedure is in KB article 315933.

After you've made the change, you can then apply to the Local Machine Zone the same security settings that are recommended below for the Internet Zone. Be aware that this doesn't give you the multiple protections provided by QwikFix-Pro and similar security software.

Protecting the Internet Zone

Many security experts recommend that you configure IE's Internet Zone so dangerous technologies are not allowed to run. These recommendations don't go as far as setting the zone to "High" but protect you against most security breaches that a hacked Web site could expose you to.

Many programs other than IE, such as Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, use IE's rendering engine to write to the screen, etc. Changing the security settings of the Internet Zone also strengthens these applications, making it safer for you to read e-mail and use these programs in other ways. One set of recommendations is provided by InfiniSource, a Web resource center.

To make your Internet Zone more secure, pull down the Tools menu in IE, then click Internet Options and select the Security tab. (You can also access Internet Options as an applet in the Control Panel.) Select the Internet Zone, then click the Custom Level button. In the dialog box that appears, change the following settings to the values shown:

If you made the Local Machine Zone visible using the manual technique described in the previous section of this article, make the above changes to that zone as well. InfiniSource also recommends some other changes for Windows XP users who've installed SP2.

One benefit of changing the above settings manually, rather than simply setting the Internet Zone to High Security, is that you can easily change back any individual setting if it causes you a problem.

If a Web site or application complains about a certain setting, you can investigate it and determine whether or not lowering your security settings is justified. If you didn't know about the settings shown above, you'd be tempted in the face of problems to reset the Internet Zone from High to Medium, which would put you back where you started.

Microsoft itself has posted a Knowledge Base article about changing some of the above settings manually in IE, going back to version 3.0. The article is primarily oriented toward troubleshooting, rather than security. The description is in KB article 154036.

Add legit sites to the Trusted Sites list so they'll run

Changing the above-named settings very likely will disable some of the features of some of the Web sites you visit. Unfortunately, in the bad old "anything goes" days of the Internet — which hopefully someday will be "long gone" — these sites adopted nonsecure or proprietary technology to display banner ads, submenus, and the like. Shutting down this stuff is part of the price of making the Internet a more secure place.

If a site that you know is legitimate has a problem with your security settings, it's easy to add the site to your Trusted Zone. The site will then benefit from the less-secure settings in that zone, which is by default set to Low Security.

You can add a site manually to the Trusted Zone by visiting it using IE, then clicking Tools, Internet Options. Select the Security tab, then select Trusted Zone and click the Sites button. Type http:// and the domain name into the input box and click the Add button to add the domain.

To include non-SSL-encrypted sites in the list, turn off the check box labeled "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone." Click the OK button to close all the dialog boxes.

There's a much easier way to add a site to your Trusted Zone, though. You can put an item named "Add Site to Trusted Zone" on IE's Tools menu and click it rather than having to go through Internet Options every time. To get this, download and install Power Tweaks Web Accessories from Microsoft's Web site. This 129 KB download is described as being for IE 5, but it works just as well on IE 6.

Unfortunately, the utility also places on IE's Tools menu another item named "Add Site To Restricted Zone." You should never visit a site that you think is untrustworthy so you can click this menu item. Instead, always add such a site to the Restricted Zone manually, using the procedure described above, before visiting the site.

It's unfortunate that Windows users have to go through all this just to get some peace of mind. Microsoft should simply distribute, free of charge, the fixes necessary to provide this minimal level of protection to all Windows users. Until that time, however, you should take steps to protect yourself.

Hypemeter: Hollywood hypocrites

During the 2000 election Alec Baldwin, and many others, said he would leave if Bush was elected and Robert DeNiro said he would live in London. Neither did. I guess the higher tax rates caused their financial managers or their publicist or agent or some other toady to advise against it. During this election Robert Redford, among others, said they would leave for Canada. Canada has said they won't be treated special and will have to get in line with all of the other immigrants and wait a year or more. They won't. If they can't get special treatment they will stay right here where they can be treated SPECIAL and enjoy the lower tax rates. I give these hypocrites a 2 on the hypemeter, after all they been throwing these tantrums for so long they mean nothing now.

A new attack

From: The Kim Komando Show Electronic Newsletter

Issue Date: Nov. 6, 2004
Vol. 8, No. 45
Kim Komando Show Home Page: http://www.komando.com

This new danger is a phishing attack. Phishing is computer slang for attacks in which criminals pretend to be a bank or other institution. They try to trick you into giving up your password and user name.

Most people have learned not to fall for this. But this new attack could fool the most careful people. Here's how it works:

The criminals send you an e-mail (spam). When you open the e-mail, a small program called a script runs. Note that you only need to open the e-mail; there is no attachment.

The scripting program goes to your HOSTS file, located deep in your computer. The actual path in Windows XP is: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\HOSTS

It enters your bank's Web address (for instance, YOURBANKdotCOM) in the HOSTS file. It also enters an Internet Protocol (IP) number for the criminals' address.

The next time you need to surf to your bank, you attempt to go to YOURBANKdotCOM. When you enter that address, or any other address, the browser first goes to the HOSTS file to find the IP number. If it isn't there (it normally would not be), it goes to a special computer on the Internet to find the IP number.

However, the criminals have put your bank's address in the HOSTS file, along with their IP number. So you are automatically sent to that IP number, which is the criminals' computer. It looks like the bank's
Web site, so you enter your user name and password. That gives the criminals the information they need to enter your account and steal your money.

How can you protect yourself? Some anti-virus programs guard against this kind of thing; others do not. To be safe, you must disable your computer's scripting ability. To do that:

--In Windows XP, click Start>>My Computer. Click Tools>>Folder Options. Select the File Types tab. Click File Types, then scroll to and click VBScript Script File. Click Advanced. In the Actions box, click Open. Click Remove.

If you need to restore scripting, click New. Put Open in the Action box. In the next box, click Browse. Find wscript.exe in C:\Windows\System32. Double-click it.

--In Windows ME and 2000, the procedure is similar. If you need to restore scripting in Windows ME, the wscript.exe file is in C:\Windows.

--In Windows 98, you must disable Windows Scripting Host. Click Start>> Settings>>Control Panel. Double-click Add/Remove Programs. Select the Windows Setup tab. Double-click Accessories. Click the box next to Windows Scripting Host to deselect it. Click OK>>Apply>>OK.

This attack is not yet a threat in the United States. But it is only a matter of time. Do not fail to protect yourself. And forward this newsletter to your family and friends.

Should You Disable Windows Scripting Host-: http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/columns/executive_tech/article.php/3436471

If you disable Windows scripting some of your programs may not work because they use scripting. When I tried this CookieJar and Power Defrag failed. I have since reenabled scripting but locked my hosts file by setting it's attribute as read only. My hosts file was blank and I hope this is all that needs to be done. Mark.

How to Repair Affected PCs

From: http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,118489,00.asp

To prevent the Trojan horse from attacking, PC users should keep their versions of Windows and Internet Explorer up-to-date with Microsoft's security patches, and consider using an alternative browser. However, it's important to note that once your computer has been compromised, the modified Hosts file will affect any browser you use on the infected PC, not just Internet Explorer.

If you've already been infected with JS/QHosts21-A, you may need to manually change your Hosts file back to its original format, says Dave Jevans, chair of the Anti-Phishing Working Group. If you're running Windows XP, you can modify the file (which is located at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) by opening it with a text editor, such as Notepad, WordPad, or Microsoft Word. For the JS/QHosts21-A exploit, the following entries will be visible in the file, Jevans says:

200.155.4.45 www.unibanco.com.br
200.201.166.200 www.caixa.com.br
200.155.100.225 www.bradesco.com.br

If you see those entries, delete them, save the file, and reboot your system.

I am a retrosexual and proud of it

http://home.mn.rr.com/wwftd

The worthless word for the day is: retrosexual [neologism] the antithesis of the metrosexual: a man with an undeveloped aesthetic sense who spends as little time and money as possible on his appearance and lifestyle "Ms Dent's book also predicts a backlash against the suave metrosexual man in the form of the scruffy retrosexual, who is defined as spending as little time and money as possible on his appearance." The Times, Oct. 19, 2004

Dee's recipe of the month: Fish with Crab Stuffing

In our area we are in the midst of rockfish season. Rockfish is a local delicacy and during the season anglers are allowed to keep 2 fish per day per person. My neighbor G. gave us an 8 oz. slab from the fish he caught. Rockfish have a delicate flavor and can use some help to flavor it up.

For Stuffing:

1 6 oz Can Crab (flaked) 1 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
1 Egg 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1 tbs Mayonnaise 7 Saltine Crackers (crumbled)

Mix all of the above ingredients well. Form into three patties and wrap in single layer in plastic wrap. Place in freezer for 30 minutes. Put 1 tbl oil in pre-heated pan and place patties in pan and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, turning over after 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

For Fish:

1 8-10 oz Fish Fillet (Cut in half) 1/4 tsp Salt
1/3 cup Flour 1 Egg
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder 2-3 tbs Milk
1/8 tsp Old Bay Seasoning

Mix Flour, Seasonings, Egg and Milk until you have a medium thick batter. Dip in Fish and coat well. Put 1 tbs oil in pre-heated pan, add fish and cook over medium heat until both sides are browned. Place Fish on Microwaveable plate and cook in Microwave on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Top Fish with Stuffing and serve.

Just a thought

Einstein's famous equation E=MCsquared relates energy to mass via the space/time constant of the speed of light squared. There should also be an equation that relates space to time via an energy/mass constant. This equation should be as simple as Einstein’s to maintain symmetry such as Planck volume equals Planck time multiplied by electron volts hv=htEv (or hv=htEvsquared to maintain symmetry). An electron volt is a measurement of energy or mass. An electron has the rest mass of 510,000 Ev and an infrared photon has an energy of 1 Ev. Max Planck's constant, h, is a natural feature of Quantum Mechanics. If the universe contains 10 to the 88th power Ev than one Planck time, ht, after the big bang the universe would have inflated to 10 to the 88th power Planck volumes, hv. The universe would have continued to inflate until additional Planck volumes would have increased it’s diameter less than the speed of light. The Hubble constant ( the speed of the expansion of the universe ) we see today, of 75 kilometers per second per megaparsec, would fall inline with the size of the observable universe and the energy/mass it contains.

Please read this book

John Stossel's "Give me a break" is a great read. Everyone should buy, borrow or get this book at their library. He says things that I have been saying for years and some things I haven't. His common sense suggestion of "make the loser pay" for revamping our court system and stopping frivolous lawsuits will work and make everyone happy except the lawyers.
