To Tolerate or not to Tolerate?

by Bill Gray, CCSP Staff Writer
June 3rd 2004

What do I mean, tolerate, don’t we have to tolerate things in our lives? Well I say, maybe not!

You see, tolerations (those things that we tolerate) are great energy suckers, good time blockers, all round bad guys! I would go as far as saying that if we cleared up a few, we would feel far better than we do right now. I would compare these to the viruses and spyware that we get on our computers, only they aren’t in the computer, they are in us! You know how annoying pop ups are, well the same thing applies to tolerations, they pop up and slow down the action you are on as you have to deal with them. Once you have rid your computer of these pop ups then you are able to operate your computer at full speed. This applies to you as well.

Well folks, we're still working out the bugs... just experienced a little downtime because we missed saving the IPs to the NICs after reboot. Noticed that and its saving now. Hopefully we'll have the bugs worked out by the end of this week and get everyone back to normalcy. Also, our email server has been going thru some bugs too, so if you signed up for an account and didn't get emails, please contact me via Feedback directly.

Folks ComputerCops has left JaguarPC.com and is now hosting with Applicationx.net. The domains will not resolve yet, they will be transitioned over the course of the next couple days. Services like nmap scanners will be online over the next couple days. Please bare with us during this transition, we hope all goes well. If you cannot reach me at paul@computercops.biz, please send them to laudanp@yahoo.com. You'll have to log into ComputerCops under the IP address URL: http://209.213.221.238. Please note, when using the port scanners, our IP addresses will show as either 209.213.221.239 or 209.213.221.238. Please exclude these when reporting your firewall alerts to dshield or mynetwatchman (we are contacting them on this).

Tricks of the Trade and other savory delights

You know, I really wanted to be able to make a speech, go out in front of an audience and say something. Make my mark, have everyone go “ah-ha” and ‘wow’. When my chance finally came, I was a complete disaster. Nerves took over and worst of all, I stood there looking out at the 35 people that were there to listen to me and no words would come from my mouth. I was half way through my 20 minutes on the floor….

Something about Mary

by Bill Gray, CCSP Staff Writer

Ah ha, so there is something about Mary

Now, Mary is a person I know (not her real name, but you know how it goes) Mary is a high powered executive and she likes everyone to know it. In actual fact she is a sales rep doing it tough in a male oriented environment. Now she does well because she is skilled at her job and she backs herself when she's "on the job" Big sales mean big money and she has it all but put her in her "after work" environment and she is a different person. She can't even go out because she is embarrassed to be seen.
