Woman Hit With Frying Pan In Home Invasion
We’ve gone over this at least a thousand times, lock your doors at night while you sleep, lock your windows and install a home security alarm.
Why? Because strange men who have murdered in the past and have been incarcerated as a teenager eventually get out of jail and then invade a person’s home at 3 am and hit the home owners daughter in the head with a cast iron pan. That’s why.
In Portland at 15 years old this guy pleaded no contest to murder. He eventually got out in 2006. Then at 26 years old he decides to break into someone’s house and fracture their skull. I have a cast iron frying pan and they are fantastic to make blackened fish and fajitas. And I can see how one to the skull could do some damage. His dad says drugs aren’t the problem but his son might have mental health issues. I’m no doctor, but I’d have to agree.
What he was after and why he broke in is not known. He didn’t hav
Can I back up two different types of computers on the same Mozy plan?
Q. I will be backing up threeputers. I have two Dells using Windows Vista and one Mac using OSX. Can I back up two different types ofputers on the same Mozy (125 GB) plan?
A. Yes. We like Mozy: It’s reliable and inexpensive (especially with our exclusive discount), and it can back up both Macs and PCs. It’s a great solution for online backup. The 125GB plan offers backup for threeputers. When we asked Mozy if you can back up the different types ofputers, they said that it was possible; you just need to make sure to download Mozy on each machine from the Mozy website. So on your Dells, download Mozy for Windows, and on your Mac, download Mozy for Mac.
You can add even moreputers or devices of any kind, but it costs $2 more perputer per month.
NextAdvisor launches review of PeopleSmart!
Today, we here at NextAdvisor launched a new review of a people search/background check service: PeopleSmart! It’s a rather cute service with a fun interface, but it performed much better for basic information (address history, property records, contact info) than for more extensive background checks. It’s also got a confusing credit system for purchasing reports, but at least thepany has a sense of humor about the whole thing, saying,”It’s like using tokens in a really weird arcade.” You can see our other reviews of people search services here.
Hacker Group Lulz Attacks U.S. Senate “Just for Kicks”
For the new breed of underground hacker bent on vigilante justice – or just interested in messing with the establishment – there is no target that is off limits. Corporate America as well as international governments have been under siege for the past several months. But the next step has been taken. A group of hackers called Lulz Security went after the U.S. Senate.
It was confirmed to the media by a Senate representative that Lulz broke into the Senates Web site, and gained access to the servers directory and file structure. Of course, they did not stop there. They also published this information on their web site. Check it out here.
The word is that the government initiated a security review and (to date) determined that network security was not compromised and that no user information was breached. Here’s a statement that from the Sergeant at Arms of the U.S. Senate on th
How secure is sensitive information with Carbonite?
Q. How secure is sensitive information with Carbonite?
A. Carbonite online backup uses the same encryption technology as online banking and emerce transactions. The service encrypts your files with 128-bit Blowfish encryption before copying them off yourputer. The next layer of security uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to transmit your files to Carbonite’s data centers, and they stay encrypted on those servers; Carbonite tightly controls personnel access to your files with biometric scanners and electronic key cards with PINs. Plus access to your backup is protected by your encryption key, which Carbonite (and you, presumably) keeps strictly confidential. Finally, Carbonite hires a professional security firm to test the security to make sure you’re the only one who can access your files. Rest assured that your data is secure with Carbonite.
