Also I noticed in Device Manager there are 4 USB controller though there are 6 USB ports. What is the relation? I have noticed two things, and I can't explain why those design decisions were made. 1. Port USB0 is different from USB1 - therefore a printer installed on USB0 is not installed on USB1. If the printer gets switched from USB0 to USB1, it is no longer installed/connected for use. 2. Occasionally Windows will think that the order of USB ports is different from before. Not sure why. This leads to issues related to 1, above. 1 will also happen if something is unplugged from one physical port and plugged into another physical USB port. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] USB Malfunction
This seems to be generally true. I've seen this on every computer I have, admittedly all Windows 2000. I suspect that each piece of USB hardware (controller, hub, etc, as well as peripheral) has a unique hardware address, similar to the MAC address that Ethernet adapters and other networking hardware have. If something auto-installs, then it will re-install automatically when plugged into a different USB port, and the installation may be transparent (invisible to the user). If the printer requires manual installation (selection of the printer make/model from a list), then it must be manually reinstalled if you change the USB port that it is connected to. If you disconnect something that doesn't auto-install, be sure to plug it back into the same port. Fred Holmes At 11:09 AM 1/28/2008, John DeCarlo wrote: 1.

If you Google the terms: ebay password change notification it will come up with a scam that sounds similar. You might want to verify directly with EBay that they are in fact the ones requesting your password change. You could maybe find out the reason behind the frequent change requests.

Re: [CGUYS] ebay experiences
In my opinion, ebay is a great thing but the system is complex and in my opinion things get problematic too often. I don't buy there unless I must because too often some aspect or another becomes messily time consuming for me. I have been ripped off once and a few years ago, someone hacked and started using my account. In my last purchase, because of ebay's complex relationships with their vendors and different purchasing paths, their shopping cart software glitched in the process of my making an instant purchase from one vendor and my credit card was charged via Pay Pal for a second vendor's item that I only looked at ... who didn't even accept credit cards. Ebay and paypal straightened up the problem and apologized ... said their engineers were looking at the problem ... but it consumed a lot of my time and attention to get thru that restitution process that involved ebay, their quasi, independent PayPal and two vendors. I prefer to not subject myself to such complexity but sometime ebay is the only place I can get an item so then I take the risk but knowing that the price will be good but the overhead can turn out to be costly. db Richard P. wrote: If you Google the terms: ebay password change notification it will come up with a scam that sounds similar.

Nope. They do not do that. You've been phished. Someone probably wanted your reputation because you buy a lot and have built up trust. They will now start buying lots of stuff with bad credit.

Re: [CGUYS] Telephone companies and privacy
Collusion with NSA? If the feds come up to me and say we need this, my first reaction, when and how soon! They are the government and I am responsible to them. (Remember Verizon operates under the privilege of the Federal government to use the airwaves and the phone lines.) You sound like a good apparatchik. I'm sure similar pressure is being exercised against programmers who work on electronic voting machines. Perhaps it is my eastern European heritage that makes me more sensitive to the fact that a government of the people may not be operating for the people. I do not believe that when a government official approaches you and asks you to commit a crime, the proper answer should not be Yes Sir! Some of you might find it interesting to watch the movie trilogy: Man of Marble, Man of Iron, and Man of Steel. In those films it is interesting to observe the attitude that this government has towards its citizens. Looks so much like what the neocons want America to be. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Telephone companies and privacy
Rev. Stewart Marshall Whatever you want to believe. It has always amazed me that people want privacy but leave it all hang out (so to speak) In this day of technology you leave so many digital footprints out there. Kind of reminds me of the Head of google getting all bent out of shape when Cnet googled his info and let everyone know it. snip In Europe it is never expected to have the kind of privacy folks think they have here in America. I do not expect privacy. If I am doing wrong I expect to be caught. I do not expect anyone to cover my tracks. (Even if I am paying them, it is not their job to cover for my criminal activity.) It's my understanding that Europe and the US have privacy policies that are almost exact opposites. In the US, you have laws/policies against warrantless searches, they aren't allowed to aggregate your data. That is, the IRS can't compare your tax return with Social Security Administration records. Business on the other hand doesn't have those same kind of restrictions (see the aforementioned case where cNet got the scoop on the CEO?COO? of Google). In Europe, the government can get any information they want, usually businesses can't share personal data across boundaries. -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly A clean, neat, desk is a sign of a sick mind * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] ebay experiences
I am not quite that active, but I have never had Ebay ask me to change my password. Are you a powerseller? If paypal refunded your money ion 24hrs. You have just experienced a modern miracle. Honestly they found out something that made them very suspicious and wanted to distance themselves fast. Feel lucky. I tend to buy 4-5 times a month.

Re: [CGUYS] Telephone companies and privacy
Western European born, US Raised, but raised with an understanding that there are two realms you live in, spiritual/political-governmental. Render unto Caesar, that which is Caesar and render unto God that which is God. 4th Commandment stuff. (Remember I come from a highly religious background) I never thought that government is for me. Government is for government. I owe them taxes and obeying laws. I serve the church and it gets my first allegiance. Do governments serve themselves? Yes all the time. Any institution that has been around becomes intrenched in institutional mentality. That does not mean I have to quite listening to them. Any government that operates under the delusion that you can have complete privacy will become a victim of its own delusions. If everyone put up a fence to protect their privacy and anyone crossed over that fence, we would fast become a victim of it. My privacy only exists until it butts up against someone else's. We have built a shibboleth out of privacy, something that has never really existed. Stewart At 06:21 PM 1/28/2008, you wrote: You sound like a good apparatchik.

Re: [CGUYS] ebay experiences
John DeCarlo sez: I would call them and talk to a human. Tell them you think you were the victim of a phishing attack and to stop activity on your account until you confirm you can get back in. Don't rely on anything else, not email, nothing. And ask them to check for activity, you will almost certainly be unpleasantly surprised. Yes. Never, EVER answer email from eBay, PayPal, a bank, or any other institution that you do business through. The majority of these places have messages within their sites. Always log on through a secure connection in your web browser -- using your own links and NOT the ones provided in the email -- and see if there is a copy of the email you received in your message box. 99% of the time, there will be none. No legitimate (or even semi-legitimate) business will contact you through email concerning account and other private information. You may receive a notice asking you to log on and confirm things, but if so, you do so through your own link and not any link provided in the email and you should find a copy of the message in any messages their system has. If there is no copy or there is no messaging system in the site, call them and talk to a human if the request is bothering you. I just ignore them if I log on and see everything is in order. -- Michael Lewis Off Balance Productions [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.offbalance.com * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Telephone companies and privacy
Well, sir, all I can say is that you need to investigate the goings on within the very company that you apparently work for. It's easy to suggest impropriety. I think the burden of proof is yours, sir. I can tell you for a certain fact that no one under my command was ever given an illegal order under the laws of the United States or contrary to the Verizon Code of Business Conduct. Nor was I ever directed to give such an order. Somehow I feel that I'm in a courtroom at Nuremberg here, with no defense attorney :-). * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
