Zone Alarm for Vista. I installed sp1 and the True Vector would not load. It's all better now, the fix is in and the latest download from ZA works fine. Commodo sucks donkey balls. I loaded it when Zone Alarm stopped working and it was the most frustrating piece of shit i have ever used.

Soi 14 gets the occasional mention but nothing excessive. It's main competition is/will be PIatNight. The place has the potential to be an interesting alternative and hopefully everything will go well.

Boooooooooo!

Very true. Mistakes happen and a trainee is bound to make them. Most customers are not stupid and can easily tell the difference between a simple mistake and being deliberately ripped off.

Twitchet?

I've used gmail drive and it is a nice little utility but it requires its own executable installed on your drive. Any customs agent that looks at your computer is going to see it since it is right there in plain view. GSpace runs in a tab in Firefox. That means you can run it from a thumb drive, which can be plugged into any computer that has a usb port. The main use I am thinking of is storing any pictures you don't want to carry through customs/immigration. Once you have uploaded the pics using firefox on a thumbdrive you can destroy the thumbdrive and the memory card, if you are really that paranoid, and there is simply nothing for them to find, no matter how hard they search. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Gmail Drive allows you to access multiple accounts. GSpace will let you access as many as you want. Both have their uses but for this particular task I think GSpace is the better choice. YMMV

I'm booked for August and your place is on the checklist.

If you use Firefox there is an extension called GSpace that opens in a new tab with a file manager that accesses your gmail storage. This allows you to quickly and simply upload your photos to your gmail storage area. Transfering a 2.5 meg jpg photo over broadbad takes about 20 - 30 seconds. If you transfer all your photos and then use a secure wipe utility to delete them from your hard drive and memory stick you then have nothing on your person or in your luggage for customs/immigration to object to. You can have multiple gmail accounts with 6+ gigabytes of storage available on each one. Gmail has a ten meg size limit on file attachments so you might not be able to transfer some vids but it should handle any jpeg photos nicely. When you get home you simply download them back onto permanant storage media. GSpace is not even version 1 yet so there are some rough edges but it does indeed perform as advertised. It will also run comfortably on a thumbdrive using portable Firefox. Try it, you'll like it.

Boooooooooo!!!!!!!!

I second the vote for gmail. By far the best service I have used. You can also set up gmail to collect mail from any POP account. I use Thunderbird as my email client to collect mail from all my accounts and I also use gmail as my smtp client to send mail. Works great, I love it.

Zone Alarm free and Vista sp1 do not play well together as of this writing. (15 May) I could not find anything on the ZA website about a fix, so beware.

I've known I was a lesbian for years. Since long before I started drinking beer. Johnny Walker Black was responsible for breaking the news.

I'm curious myself. Has anybody actually stayed there who can offer first hand information? Anybody who could wander in and take some pictures?

Areca has a decent restaurant just off the lobby. Not Scottish but ok for something to keep you going until you can explore properly. Many nice bars of all kinds within a two minute walk.

Glad to hear everything is coming together. I still won't be able to check it out until September but I'll make it a point to drop in and say Hi.

You may.

Good Luck. I won't be able to check it out until September so I'll miss the opening specials. Still, it does look like a nice place to kill a few Heinikens during the afternoon.

No Symantic product will ever see the inside of my computer. They suck, big time, out loud and in public. A pox on them and their children unto the tenth generation.

Bit of an over reaction in my opinion.

Now this is just Wrong.

One of the hotels that offer pick up service could probably arrange it.

For what it's worth, from an ex US military member, you're welcome.

This has to be the best resizer available at any price. You can do any of the common sizes or roll your own. Only problem is it doesn't work on vista and there are no plans to upgrade it. Google is your friend. There are dozens of good choices out there. Picasa, Irfanview, Faststone viewer, Paint.net all have Vista versions and free for the download.

I found him in 1.5 seconds. The voices told me where to look.

I have entered and exited from San Diego more times than I can count. Trust me, you would not mistake the Point Loma Lighthouse as a moving target. Buoy SD1 perhaps, but not the lighthouse.
