DISQUS

Uncle Sams money bag is getting empty - I did not allow me to print more
than 6 digits :-(

Giannii,

It's more then just the widget, it's WP not seeing what DISQUS marked as SPAM. Sent you email with details.

Evan MARK SPAM manually does not work for me:

- the spam comment is not displayed under the blog post - that's good
- but it is still listed in the "recent comments" widget in my sidebar, which is really, really bad

I'm also getting close to removing DISQUS :-(

700? Ouch... I guess I am lucky to have received only a dozen or so in this short period.

Ouch... sounded too good to be true :-(

Hi Maria,

Thanks for dropping by - wow, I did not realize you've been blogging this long!

Wow, Ruud, long time no see.. how r u?
:-)

Daniel,

Now we're on the same side, no need for a new OS. Microsoft knows it too: Win7 is really Vista Final, based on everything we hear about it. It just had to be re-branded for all the bad rep Vista earned.

Daniel,

Unfortunately Vista is the OS sold on all consumer PC's not made my Apple. It does not have a home vs. corporate version.

Listen to yourself: group policies, master images, knowledge of OS: the individual - or small business - user does not know anything about these. Nor do they have an IT department.

For all I know you may be perfectly right - I am simply not qualified to judge Vista's merits for corporate IT. All I know is it's a complete disaster for individual users.

Yes, more or less - my only chance is to download the vid's from tv2.hu ... almost complete, but not the real thing.

Dennis, which part:
- what the kid did
- or that he gets prosecuted based on the vid?

(I think I know the answer...)

Gmail Manager plugin is pretty reliable and does not craash...

It is way overdue - for retiremnt:-)

OpenOffice, Zoho, Google Apps are pretty good alternatives...

Justin,

I didn't.. in fact I am now in the sorry state of having 3 apps instead of one: Live Mesh, Syncplicity and Mozy, because not one of them met all the requirements.

Like you stated, there's no documentation about encryption on Live Desktop, so I am only using Live Mesh locally - which we now know MS recommends Live Sync for.

Syncplicity has encryption, but they won't let you pick your key, so acccess to your files is a matter of signing in through any browser. I know, it's a balancing atct between convenient features and security... nevertheless, I don't keep my private documents there. Using if mostly for photos and other stuff.

Finally I still use Mozy for backing up important documents I really want to safeguard with a private encryption key.

This is pretty bad, one app should take care of this all....

Britton,

We're talking about UPS here, not USPS :-)

Justin, I switched to Live Mesh some time ago, and am still puzzled why MS offers both Live Sync and Live Mesh.

@David, wow, I'd love the luxury of an empty inbox :-)

Mike, I'll consider this a Summit invitation :-)

Jackie,

If you only need the very basics, wordpress.com is probably the way to go, because it's hard to get a better deal than free:-)

But if you do want a blog with the customization flexibility, it's hard to think of a provider with better support and easier conversion than what John provides.

@Owen,

I enjoyed the weight and size of the Acer for my last conference trip, but I am discovering the screen is a bit too small. It's not so much size, i.e. 8.9" or 10", but the vertical resolution: all netbooks stop at 600, which is not that bad just for browsing, but when you don't find the action buttons on input forms, that's a pain.

What really bothers me is the wi-fi performance: drops the connection a lot, and even when it's working, way slower than other, older systems side by side. I'm not seeing complains about it, so perhaps I have a defective unit.

@Kevin, agree, in fact wrote about it here.  But that’s a future vision, here we're discussing what's available today.

Ian, I have 3 computers with Live Mesh and Syncplicity installed, they are slowing them all down and none work perfectly. Then there's Mozy, Antivirus and a bunch more... I don't need all that crap on the Netbook.

Also, since the Netbook is my travel computer, I'd rather not have data on it for security reasons.

@Veresh,

I lot changed since I wrote this over a year ago. Both Disqus and Intense Debate added features, and I believe support exporting your comments back to the blog directly, should you wish to stop using them.

@Bill, I can't possibly miss the "re-imaging" session, in the meantime I've found myself in the moderator's seat for that one. Still very interested in the parallel session, too :-)

I'll meet him next week @ Defrag :-)
