Somewhat OT - Facebook Query
Published (2009-12-15 20:33:00)
I forgot to address that part of your question. My theory is that email scammers simply do searches with the email addresses they get hold of to see if they can be linked to other's and, in this case, to the facebook profiles the resulting email addresses can be linked to. The searches could be made in any search-engine or even using facebook's own search feature. I'm not sure how these scammers get hold of the original lists...

Adding an external hard drive
Published (2009-12-16 16:27:00)
Did you determine the reason why the USB drive was not recognized in each case? What leads you to believe that the reason for failure was the fact that it was a USB drive that was being used? A USB hard drive is little more than a regular internal hard drive with a USB adapter. In fact, you can make your own external hard drive from a regular internal hard drive and an enclosure. As a backup destination, an external hard is no more or less...

NTFS or Fat32 which is right?
Published (2009-12-10 00:30:00)
Note in my reply: "2) Create a 32GB FAT32 partition/logical drive and assign it a volume name of: 'SHARED'. Anything you want to move from one computer to the next can be stored on this partition/logical drive. 3) With the remaining free space, format as a single NTFS partition. Now you have the best of both worlds." Last time I checked XP could still create a 32GB FAT32 partition! -- JS http://www.pagestart.com...

On the contrary, you're on the right track. If only more people would learn to backup! There's no need to format your external hard drive with NTFS in order to backup, but I'm not getting into another NTFS vs. FAT32 ****ing match. You should do whatever you feel works best for you. I'll explain a bit about disk imaging, and that should answer your questions. Conventional backup ...

Neither is right, there are pros and cons to each.
