yeah i know about that part most windows programs i use they are linux versions plus the fast some windows programs work under wine or an os emulator

... If, in your case, software was on your drive that selectively removed some data, that software would still be on there. ...





I've heard rumors of theoretical things happening:
Some conspiracy theorists maintain there are astoundingly devious, specially written viruses that can do a hell of a lot of undetectable damage to a computer and then erase itself without a trace.

"intel gurl", a present or former "Scholar" Member of  http://www.abovetopsecret.com  , who works for a large defense contractor, has told all to read on that site:  That site is regularly monitored for breaches in national security according to regulations or laws that have been around since 1951 with Eisenhower's patent search Executive Order.

I say this site is no different.  All sites can, and will, be monitored.  The wonderfully efficient MIB's have the law on their side to do what they want to who they want and nobody can legally say, "Cr@p".

  Granted, it make take some hard drive forensics software to locate it but, it would still be fairly easy to detect.  Did you try doing this?

I have to borrow a computer all the time and don't have the wherewithal to do that.  Those "covert?" viruses are the reason.

  The best anti-virus approach is hardware and not software.

I've been computer literate about as long as you (1980).  I know that hardware trumps software, especially in a DOS boot file in ROM.  To upgrade, you need a new chip, since it's immune to viruses.

I was confided to by a few people awhile ago who had old information, but it was possibly similar in quality to yours, depending on what you did?  They spoke only generally and hypothetically and then left it to my personal experience to try and come up with a more complete picture.

I do know something about electronic diagnostics and computer R&D.  I did it for a living once.  That's all I can say, and "intel gurl" would probably do the same.  She just has direct, recent experience in a field my Dad worked in for 30 years, so I know what she can say and not say.  I had a clearance (secret) in the Air Force, but one old man I spoke with had a really high clearance years ago.

I've said enough.

My personal opinion?
The letter 'A' in your quote at the top of this post shouldn't be there because I didn't put it there.  That doesn't mean it's impossible.  I.  Didn't.  Do.  It.

It's there for a reason.  Can Stefan stop it?  He can only try.  I don't have the type of personality that plays tricks on people for fun.  I have Asperger's syndrome and they don't play those games.  They resent being made fun of.

Yes I have seen those letter "A"s cropping up in quoted sections around the forums.  I am not sure this indicates some malicious virus attack probably more like some software glitch in SQL or something.  But, I agree, they should not be there.

spot on bill. it's a code issue. not the mib, nor any other conspiracy...

Hi everybody,
I have a new project.
I will be making an IR joule thief.

But it might be a few weeks.
I just learned that I do not have the ir leds anywhere around here, so I need to buy them.
grr.
oh well.....

--------

ubuntu   
The security updates are free too.
And sun open office comes for free and can read and write anything that happens in ms land.
I can read .sls files .doc files and even powerpoint presentations all on sun openoffice for free.
(I can also make them compatible for those still living in ms land. It is easy .)
Gimp is as good as or better than photoshop and as I am learning it is even easier to use.
and...
ubuntu is way faster. I don't know why or how, but it is faster.

@Wilby,
Of course you are exactly right.
GOTOSUB etc...


some musings:
I believe that silicon has a bit of quantum intelligence or is more susceptible to quantum activities and if you hate your computer it will definitely give you a lot of trouble, and if you expect trouble, you will get it. Of course you can do this in your life without a computer, but it seems (to me) that the silicon is a facilitator.

Zhak.
I do not understand what I need to say.
Yes, I was asking about the 1F supercap.
Yes, maybe a schema will help.

@dasimpson.
congratulations! and thank you so much for reading it all. You are a real member of this jt group.

anyway i was searching the internet for a solar light sensing circuit so my night lights can turn on when the sun goes down but automaticly turn off when the sun comes up and charge the batterys i have had to move to 2.4vdc can not quite seem to get it rolling with 1.5vdc if anyone could let me know and help would be much apreacited btw the output goes to a joule thief

I also want to do this.
I do not understand why it takes so much voltage, unless you are using 2 transistors
I am still manually charging my batteries.
I am using the solar garden lights as rechargers. I use a NiMH in place of the NiCd that they come with and the battery is well charged in one day. (and a well charged battery will last many evenings.)

@Altrez
a patent?
huh?

thank you,

jeanna
