Comment on Geek Software of the Week: K9 Web Protection Software! by Thinus Oosthuizen

Hi, I have tried K9 to safeguard our home-computer, but experienced quite often that (after a few days/weeks) our internet access was blocked totally – the only solution I could find was to delete and then re-install the software – I’m sure I did something wrong or missed something somewhere – any help?

Thanks

Comment on Well, I’ve Switched to Google Chrome! by Joel Gillespie

Welcome to the Chrome fold. I went over to the Google dark side earlier this year. Chrome just seems faster and simpler. I do miss the drop down menus, but ever since Firefox got cute with their drop down menu it has been less helpful. I like the little + button with Google and that compensates for the lack of a drop down address menu. I read some report today that said IE was now the most secure browser. Hard to believe.

Who can get me a free partition manager? Few days ago, I came up with partition problems. I would like to enlarge my system disk C. I didn’t know what to do. What I want was just a free and reliable partition software. Fortunately, my friends recommended me free partition manager software. It was really easy to use and I got everything through in less than 10 minutes. So I would like to share this partition manager with all of you. The name of this partition manager is called Partition Wizard. It provides different editions. If you have the same problems like mine, you can go to its website for more information. http://www.partitionwizard.com. Probably, you will find some stuff useful to you.

IE8 Seems real buggy to me right now. We have seen many errors with it on older systems that upgrade to it and also get many calls a day with errors relating to IE8. Seems ok on a new pc or fresh windows install. I would say do not upgrade better yet use opera or firefox.

I think you will find, if you check the Hebrew meaning of the word translated “sign,” it is the Hebrew word, “oth” (transliterated) that means, “a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence…” That is, as evidence, or a “sign” of the supernatural creation of the universe… or, as, Romans 1:20 says, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse…” So the things that He made, like the stars, are signs, or evidence, of the existence of God… so that they (unbelievers) are without excuse. So, the stars are not to lead us, just to point out the fact of the One that IS to lead us! But, I do not intend to argue with you… just sayin’.
