If you are NOT absolutely sure that the address is legit, DELETE IT! And I do mean absolute. Relative is not good enough these days.

Nasty! Pointlessly nasty.

Well, this "OP" deleted his long screed in the "OM" of what I use the printer for. Until I have been without, I didn't realize how much I use the printer for. I could not print an immigration document for a trip to Mexico. I cannot print an insurance document Arizona demands that I carry in my new car. I can't print checklists, recipes, essays ......

I put a UTM grid on images I download from Google Earth, print them, and carry them in a notebook while I am doing my geologist stuff. Because Oct to Apr is my field season in the Sonoran Desert.

I am going to solve my problem by heading off to Costco as soon as it opens and getting something. They all croak, eventually (just like me).

Thanks, all, for your suggestions. Danny is done, here.

My printer worked fine until it didn't. While it worked, I ignored printer discussions here at UHH. Now I need recommendations for a new printer costing, oh, about $150 or less. Links to previous discussions would be appreciated.

Another vote for Faststone. I try a lot of shareware and was so impressed by this program that I sent them money after using it for about 15 minutes. I send them $25 every time they do a substantial upgrade.

The word of the day is NACHUS (nachas): A Yiddish word meaning that you are happy and proud, especially of someone’s accomplishments. Mazel tov!

Uhhh, I think that was because Hawaii was one of the states at that time.

The style is "Modern MishMash." It started when they added the "Let's have a little fun" button to Autocad.

I got all of them right! I just answered, "42!"

Changes in Password Best Practices



NIST recently published its four-volume SP800-63-3 Digital Identity Guidelines. Among other things, it makes three important suggestions when it comes to passwords:

* Stop it with the annoying password complexity rules. They make passwords harder to remember. They increase errors because artificially complex passwords are harder to type in. And they don't help that much. It's better to allow people to use pass phrases.

* Stop it with password expiration. That was an old idea for an old way we used computers. Today, don't make people change their passwords unless there's indication of compromise.

* Let people use password managers. This is how we deal with all the passwords we need.

These password rules were failed attempts to fix the user. Better we fix the security systems.

KXCD (the snarky cartoon) ran a password feature a couple of years ago - it's probably searchable.

My understanding of the math is that phrase length is far more important than complexity as far as brute-force password guessing goes.

One of the great atrocities of Christmas was combining "croon" with "carol."

Every one of those sentences, up to the words "makes me," describes me exactly. The endings suggest that you spend too much time watching Fox "News."

"I (and most of the folks I know), acquired a fair education without student loan debts and little or no debt at graduation" The term "student loan" did not exist in 1963 but I did have to borrow money from NFCU to buy my uniforms (including that goddamn sword that I just had to have and used four times in 20 years). Went through grad school on the GI bill. In those days, public education was everybody's responsibility and so the government (us) financed it. Now the grand-kids are up to their ear-balls in debt.

When I dodged the draft by joining the Navy, I didn't go into "the military, or the armed forces," I went into THE SERVICE! I served my countrymen, with all that means (Do NOT thank me, I rather enjoyed it). And now, some of them h**e me so much because of what they've been told I believe, they are willing to burn MY country down with them in it. Go figger!

May I be the first to suggest that you Trump-off?

For those of us who live in objective reality and consider ourselves to be, "the matter of the universe in contemplation of itself," the black hole represents the border of human imagination. What's in there? Nobody knows, nobody can know. All we can do is collect evidence and make suppositions that fit the laws of physics as we understand them. When we find something that doesn't fit, we are reminded of how limited our understanding is. Physics doesn't change, just our understanding.

It's rather humbling, when I think about it.

That, more or less, was what Einstein wondered.
