Thank you.

Re the Java, "Not sure what you mean with the second question."

Neither am I. :-)

Is that better?


Downstream 1874 Kbps (234.3 KB/sec) 2023 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 239 Kbps (29.9 KB/sec) 258 Kbps (inc. overheads

Kayak - 18 Mar 2005 09:59 - 3115 of 11003

Better than mine :-) The theoretical maximum for the 2023 figure is around 2048.

Result!!!! :-)

The business with the Max-connections is to allow IE to load multiple pictures at once. The default is 4 I think, meaning that if IE loads a web page with 20 pictures then it will load 4 at a time. With 16 things run faster since it can load 16 at once. You should see it on the task bar in the bottom right hand corner where the URLs will change quickly.

For those using google and have Gmail acounts

"While the media has largely focused on the fact that Gmail will scan the contents of your email messages in order to target ads, the more serious problem from a privacy perspective is Google's ability to link your Gmail account information with your Google web searches. By linking your complete Google search history - tagged with your name and personal details - to your email records, Google can create a highly nuanced picture of you as a reader and as a person. Such pictures present irresistible targets for government investigators, civil lawsuit plaintiffs, and even identity thieves. A single attack or disclosure could release deeply sensitive details about your life to the world without your knowledge or consent.

Last year, there was also articles about one or more of the big email providers retaining, for some time, all deleted emails.

axdpc - 18 Mar 2005 20:13 - 3121 of 11003

post #3119 mentioned email retention, by US email providers.

Here is the EU bits ...

"January 11, 2005
The Price of Surveillance, Measured in Pounds
The London Internet Exchange (LINX), a consortium of ISPs, argues that the cost of a proposed EU plan to mandate data retention would amount to a tax to support government snooping.

EU Considers Data Retention Laws
The proposal could mandate permanent retention of user information related to phone, text, MMS, email, Voice over IP, and Web communications.

WHy do I keep getting explorer error DIBENG.DLL?
That's the flavour for this morning.. :S
I'm going to reboot again now.

Spaceman - 22 Mar 2005 08:28 - 3124 of 11003

Chocky, have you made any changes? new drivers, new programs? There seem to be a lot of causes for this dll to abort. What OS what version of explorer?

chocolat - 22 Mar 2005 09:09 - 3125 of 11003

Where would you like me to start, Spacie? ;)
Ok - explorer vers. 6.0.2800.1106. I updated a while back, and it does mention SP1; Q834707; Q837009; Q889293.
As for programmes - I did uninstall some a few weeks ago in an effort to clear the rubbish plus a couple of new ones.

Spaceman - 22 Mar 2005 09:28 - 3126 of 11003

C, what operating system? XP? when exactly do you get the problem? could you post the exact error message?

Thanks.

chocolat - 22 Mar 2005 09:30 - 3127 of 11003

WIndows ME - I'll just go and see if I've any screenshots saved.

brianboru - 22 Mar 2005 09:42 - 3128 of 11003

Windows ME - Urgh!

This seems to fit

failing that a good registry cleaner might help. Better still move on to Win2000 or XP

hilary - 22 Mar 2005 10:00 - 3129 of 11003

I've got 4 machines on a network, 2 on W2k, 1 on XP Pro and 1 on ME. The XP and W2k machines automatically log-in, but the ME machine needs to be manually logged-in even although there is no set user password.

Can the ME machine be changed to automatically log-in and, if so, how?

brianboru - 22 Mar 2005 10:26 - 3130 of 11003
