 | A researcher has revealed that people are far more likely to tell lies using email than they would do if they were writing on pen and paper it seems. In two studies, Liuba Belkin reached the conclusion that people lie 50 percent more often in emails. This, of course, is …  |
| | [QUOTE=briangreen143;1241201]I am new here so I was not aware of the dates these threads are posted. If you check my profile it is definitely new and i am not spamming or something.[/QUOTE] And [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/member759854.html"]stellarios[/URL] is new here as well, but posts from exactly the same IP as you, and has … |
 | Re: USB or not USB Better still use appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised devices from being connected in the first place, it is not rocket science. That way you still get the benefits of USB without the dangers. We do not want a return to the 'good old days' where IT Admins superglued USB … |
 | I thought Hotmail was a spent force already, seeing as I had not seen any incoming mail from users of that service for ages. Then I looked in my spam folder and found it was, in fact, still operating. So I agree with Ron on this one. :) |
 | File that one under 'duh' methinks :)  |
| | UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, has just sat down after speaking for an hour to deliver the coalition Government's 'Emergency Budget' to a crowded and noisy House of Commons - and it's not good news for the games industry. Of interest to those in the IT industry in … |
| | [URL="http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=12811122130"]According to engineering team insider Josh Wiseman[/URL], Facebook will start rolling out the long awaited Facebook Chat system this week. Although you might think that Facebook provides plenty of chatting opportunity already, courtesy of the Wall and Inbox functionality, the argument is that neither offer the immediacy of a true …  |

| | Some of us just want a satnav which tells us how to get from A to B while avoiding traffic congestion. Others, apparently, want a satnav that imitates SpongeBob SquarePants for reasons which, to be frank, are completely beyond me. After all, I don't live in a pineapple under the … |
| | The Twitter account of the Conservative MP for Suffolk Coastal, Therese Coffey, has been well and truly hacked it would appear. According to [URL="http://www.londonspinonline.com/2010/06/exclusive-hackers-seize-top-torys.html"]London Spin[/URL] "The attackers bombarded social media users with sexually explicit messages and comments after gaining access to her Blog, Facebook and Twitter account details". Although the … |
 | I've never understood what the anti-purple thing is all about. DaniWeb has had a purple hue, on and off, for years now. Anyway, I prefer to think of it as a calming deep lilac myself :) |

| | I recently argued '[URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story289730.html"]Why Goatse was right to disclose iPad data leak[/URL]' after it came to light that the FBI had started an investigation into the hacker group following the responsible disclosure of an iPad data leak caused by poor AT&T security measures. I said "The security researchers which discovered … |
| | This community has been growing year on year, and continues to do so. Sure, there is churn as in [B]every[/B] online community and some long term members will eventually leave. However, we do not chase them away they choose to leave for many reasons. The important thing being that there … |
| | So we now have a button at the top and bottom of the page and still there are complaints. [montypython] Is this the five pound argument? [/montypython] :) |
| | It's a social engineering trick: user gets official looking email telling them they can reset their password as requested by following a link, users thinks someone has been trying to access their account and decides to reset the password just in case. It will also catch those busy or security … |
 | I agree Dave - advanced search is very useful and I'm all for an advanced button on show. |
| | iPad users in the USA have found themselves caught up in a security gaff which saw subscriber data of some 114,000 of them exposed for anyone to see. Subscriber data such as email addresses the Integrated Circuit Card ID that authenticates them on the AT&T network. The security researchers which … |
| | I would guess that very few people actually send an additional email, to be honest. Probably something just saying 'the site owners have been notified of the problem' would be sufficient IMO. |
| | So who's going to be there then? I'm looking forward to meeting you all F2F, just be gentle with me and promise not to mention signature spam or the new site design :) |
| | The [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum116.html"]Domain Names for Sale forum[/URL] is the correct place on DaniWeb for this. |
| | Bad news for anyone with an iPhone 3GS: even if you have the latest OS, even if you have a PIN number, even if it isn't jailbroken - it can be hacked by anyone using a computer running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. I wouldn't ordinarily reveal exactly how to hack an … |
| | But in the forum list it does show replies, which lets you know if anyone has replied to the posting and that surely is more important than the number of people who have looked at it. After all, if 100 people have viewed your question but nobody has provided an …  |

| | [ATTACH=right]14704[/ATTACH][B]Reviewer's View[/B] I'm the kind of person who has an almost religious fervour when it comes to keeping data backed up, perhaps unsurprisingly as I am an IT professional and my livelihood depends upon it. So when it came to the hands-on testing of System Mechanic 9.5 for this DaniWeb … |
| | Let me guess, you are using a netbook with Windows 7? I say this as the Windows 7 Starter Edition installed on netbooks does not allow for desktop themes, configuration etc.  |
| | Sure, PM me (or reply here if you wish) with a few alternatives (your first choice may well have already been taken as we have over 750,000 registered members) and I'll set about doing it for you. |
| | Depends what you mean by hack, and what it is you are actually trying to do. |
| | If piracy and illegal downloaders really are killing the music industry, how come more singles have been sold this year than ever before and people who file-share spend more money on legal releases than those who do not file-share? I have to admit, it's not been a good week to … |
| | As far as I am concerned Facebook has pretty much proved that it doesn't get user privacy concerns at all. It has flip flopped all over the shop with one privacy policy fiasco after another. If this was the first time Zuckerberg had gone 'whoops, never realised our members cared … |
| | Rather amazingly, just one crime syndicate stands accused of being responsible for some two thirds of all detected phishing attacks carried out during the last six months of 2009. The so-called Avalanche gang, according to a new report by the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), used highly sophisticated malware to target … |
 | Well the site is done, but the sorting out any bugs and tweaking stuff will be ongoing for a week or two, so a little patience will go a long way I suspect.  |
| | Dani most certainly is listening, and acting upon many of the points raised in this forum. However, there is a difference between listening and accepting every argument made. If you want real chaos then that would come if Dani just caved every time someone disagreed with some element of site … |
 | The usual rule of thumb applies: if you can find enough recent, active and busy threads on the subject and point us in their direction, then a new forum might be considered. Without evidence of such a demand, then forum creation is usually frowned upon - indeed, over the years … |
| | Well Dani certainly thinks it serves a useful purpose, and that is to encourage people to join DaniWeb rather than just browse through it as a guest. Arguments about the merits of membership as a metric or any value attached to it aside, the stats show that the popup does …  |
| | At first glance the news story headline from [URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/7740500/Britons-spend-more-web-time-reading-news-than-looking-at-pornography.html"]The Telegraph[/URL] was rather comforting: Britons spend more web time reading news than looking at pornography. That's one big finger flipped up in the face of all those who decry the Internet as being a cesspool of depravity and the people who … |
| | If you thought the most annoying thing about using public transport was that loudmouth oink holding a ridiculously loud mobile phone conversation or swiping madly away at an iPhone, then you were wrong. It's only the second most annoying thing about commuting, at least as UK travellers are concerned according … |
| | Dani is, indeed, busy fixing things and tweaking others, so bear with us for bit while it all gets sorted. |
| | I'm not sure what has happened to the badges, could just be a glitch I guess. I'm sure Dani will let us know in due course. I like to think I'm more Muttley than Dick Dastardly. [QUOTE=ardav;1216961]And another thing - I was one of the featured posters in this week's … |
| | I am looking for suitable candidates to interview as case study material for a new book I am writing for the Science Museum here in London, to be published globally by Wiley early next year. The book, Being Virtual: who you really are online, will be an exploration of identity … |
| | Who wants some forged educational documents that will help you get a job in some foreign country? The answer, it would seem, is lots and lots of people. At least that would explain why spam advertising fake diplomas has topped the list of junk mail subject matter for China, South …  |
| | And having now listened to a snippet of that Gettin' Over song I think I would rather be unaware of it, to be honest :) |
 | Re: PM spammers too? Just click on the ! in a triangle logo top right of the message and it gets flagged as bad, and then one of the mods or I can take care of it. Thanks.  |

 | Dani is monitoring the feedback forum and bugs are being squashed and tweaks applied, however this does take a little time and has to be done on a priority list basis, so please bear with us. |
 | Agni: there is a search button at the top right of the screen Chammarox: are you sure you meant to post that here as it has no bearing on the original posting? |

The End.
