Good morning little laptop !

Good morning readers !!!

robot wisdom weblog

jorn barger's page is the equivalent of the features pages of my daily news, and is what I see when I start my browser
- MS calls it a "home page"

TV and radio may have been on with BBC news, but mostly I breakfast at my seventh floor kitchen window and quietly observe what is going on down below and in the air. (more another day)

Now I have brewed my second cup of tea and let it mash while starting this Sony. Second only to Apple, Sony has the best designs - well SUN work stations are wonderful but out of my price range.

I do my email first :-

MORE DAMNED LIES

Dear member

Our service provider (BT) have informed us that they require your
computer
to be powered on, with the DSL modem connected to the line through a

BroadBand filter.  They have also requested that you disable
any firewall
you may have on your computer temporarily until further notice.

This is
so they may test your ADSL circuit. Please reply to this mail ASAP to

confirm that this is the case.

Kindest Regards,

AOL Broadband Team

Connection Tip...

How many telephone outlets do you have? Have you got more BT socket
points than filters?


If you have more than 2 phone sockets in your home/building, you need
to be aware that for BroadBand to work: -

- All phone sockets in use (with a peripheral such as a phone or fax
plugged into it) MUST have its own dedicated filter.

- If you have more phone sockets than filters (2 filters supplied in
each AOL BroadBand pack), then they must leave some sockets empty until

you get more filters.Additional filters are available to buy at KW: BroadBandExtras.

- BroadBand will NOT work if you have a peripheral (phone, fax) plugged
into another phone socket on the same line in the house, without a
filter also being plugged into that same socket.

If you do the above you are falling for a classic hack called human engineering


Google Search: "human engineering" hacking: "Perhaps not surprisingly, the bulk of reported frauds involve 'human engineering':
providing fake information "
