  1. There several. Some of my favorites are from Mae West. One of her best (although some say Sophie Tucker used it first) was "A good man is hard to find but a hard man is good to find". Another great one from Mae West is "When I'm good I'm very, very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better".

  10. Although erasing the "history upon closing" will prevent people from casually finding out what you have been up to. If someone does a bit of work you could still be found out pretty easily. A much better way is to use Portable Apps running out of an encrypted of drive. First step would be to download something like Truecrypt from http://www.truecrypt.org Truecrypt allows you to do a bunch of different things. For our purposes create a 1GB encrypted container. You can decide if a regular or hidden (gives you plausible deniability) volume suites your prupose. Once the volume is created, you mount it using the software and it shows up as a drive on your computer. Next step is to go to http://portableapps.com/download and download the "Suite Light" or "Suite Standard" if you prefer. Once it's downloaded, run the installer and have the applications install to the encrypted drive. When it's done there will be a shortcut "StartPortableApps - Shortcut" in the root directory of the encrypted drive. Double-Click that shortcut and the Portable Apps Launcher will come up. One of the apps in Suite Light and Suite Standard is Firefox. Click on the icon and voila, you have Firefox from the encrypted drive running. A couple of things to remember. If you already have Firefox installed on your computer you cannot run that one and the Portable Apps version at the SAME time. Also, any Add-ins, like Flash, will need to be installed on the Portable Apps Firefox even though they are on your existing copy. Other Option: Truecrypt does not have to be "installed" on your machine. One of the options is to run it as a standalone program. This allows you to put Truecrypt and the encrypted file on a USB stick. Makes the whole setup portable. Check out some of the other Portable Apps. Thunderbird for email, Pidgin does IM for MSN, Yahoo and others, KeePass for password management,... Caveats: This does not prevent someone from finding you out if they are logging your keystrokes or visited IP's using an application like Cybersitter or a keylogger. That's a whole different discussion. Hope this helps.
  11. All, Cat lost her pics due to hardware failure. So she asked me to post this one. The best part is that she told me that new ones are coming soon!
  12. Alas, I have not met Red or Erin yet (I do plan on changing that) so I don't qualify for the fun tonight. Wishing you all a fantastic time and I look forward to the next opportunity.
  13. Interesting thread? I have found a few ways of dealing with prying eyes. Here are a few. 1) As was previously mentioned, wipe the call history on your phone. For casual snooping it is effective, as long as the Snoop doesn?t go through the call history in your detailed billing. 2) Create a plausible contact in your address book with a business that you can remember. For extra protection change the name to a male equivalent. Then it will look like a business call to the Snoop. You just need to be able to remember or have a cross reference somewhere. Again, this one would be for a casual snoop. 3) Use a calling card. Pretty simple, get one of those 1-800 long distance calling cards. They are available in most shopping malls and stores. Then all the Snoop will see is that number on your phone or detailed billing. The Snoop can try the number and will just get the service. If questioned, tell the Snoop that cell phone long distance is expensive and you or your company has instituted the service in the spirit of cost savings. One issue will be call display. Few if any of these calling card services pass on your phone number to the called party. As we know, most SP?s will (and probably should) not answer calls from unknown numbers. 4) Use a separate long distance service. There are long distance providers out there that provide the same (usually better) service than the 1-800 cards. You will need to sign up for the service and provide a credit card number. Most (always check with them) will pass on the number you are calling from to the party you are calling and will use paperless billing to an email address you provide. Same as the calling card, the Snoop will only see the number for the service and the austerity reason applies. The service I use is North America wide with access numbers in all major cities and a toll free number areas with no local number. Aside from the security it provides, the rates for long distance are very low (~$0.02/minute) compared what to your cell provider charges unless it is included in your plan. There is plenty of info in the net for long distance providers or you can PM me for the service that I use.
