If Hide In Picture is used to embed a message, is it the only program that can decode it? Or can any application do so? If any application can, does that work cross-platform as well?

Even if you are on the Do Not Call list, companies that you are currently a customer of can call you all they want.

I recently sold my sister's laptop on eBay. Dell did not provide any Recovery CDs, just Symantec's Restore program on a seperate partition. So I restored the computer to factory fresh with Symantec Restore, created an image of the drive (all partitions), used DBAN for a 7-pass wipe, then restored the image back on…

I second Darik's Boot & Nuke; I've used it many times. I'd suggest using a 7-pass wipe.

The way I usually test a PS to see if it's dead, is I take it in to a bubble-bath with me. If I plug it in and it 'tickles' me, I know it's still alive.

This is one of the most frustrating features I can think of.

I've used my Mac with Dlink, Linksys and Buffalo routers all with no problem.

Kinda sucks that this only works for Outlook and Outlook Express.

I haven't had a problem with Comcast in the Philly metro area.

You can do something similar with HijackThis. HijackThis examines all running processes and created a log locally. You can then choose to upload it to support forums. There are also several sites that tell you what the log means, like this one.

While some posters above have indicated they think it's rude to not accept a card, I think its rude to be expected to accept a card. If he doesn't want a card, he doesn't have to have one.

I created a folder in the 'Library' directory called 'Config Files'. If my wife snoops around my computer, she's certainly not going to look in the 'Library' folder, and most definitely not in a folder called 'Config Files'.

While this isn't a long-term plan for resistance against 'The Man' (i.e. Microsoft), it seems like it could be useful for a one-time situation.

You'd get thrown out of the building if you asked the questions that are burning in my mind.

I do the same, but it doesn't help that my cat drink out of the stand.

@Sean O,

Also, some organizations have signed up as [Amazon.com] affiliates, so they get commision when you use their click-though to make a purchase.

My mom got me a sheet of these stamps for my recent wedding, just as a fun gift. The picture was my engagement photo with my now-wife. It was neat, but not something to spend money on consistently.

You can set Outlook 2003 to display all message in plain text format. Go to the 'Tools' menu, then 'Options'. In the 'Preferences' tab, click the button for 'E-mail options.' Put a check in the box that says 'Read all standard mail in plain text.'
