If Google owns and knows the captcha database, then it will be easy
to bypass the captcha and get private information. For example I want
to be able to put a membership list of the members of the
association: names, business names, addresses, Phones, emails for the
members to view. Now because Google owns the best Captcha software
company there is out there, there now, no secure method of doing so.


You need to explain how you were planning on using a CAPTCHA image on
the association's login page. Does it not already have a user name and a
password assigned to each member? How will a distorted image give Google
the user's password?

I have a site with exactly what you state you want to do. It's for a
club. There is a Members Only portion of the site, and nobody can enter
it without knowing a user's name and individual password. What good
would a CAPTCHA do for a page like that? Did you ever have to enter a
CAPTCHA value when you log into your bank's pages for your account
details?

If you are *not* using name and password access, it's your fault if the
private information is compromised.

Google, nor any other search engine, cannot access my site.



there are sections of website the association wants everyone to see. But
then there would be one section the Members-Only section should be
hidden from view of Google and other items such as Yahoo , Altavista an
so on.


using a Captcha does the same thing as using a username and password
without the need for such


No, it isn't the same thing at all.  You do not understand the 
difference and should stop talking about it until you do.



and until Google bought the leading captcha
software developer, It was as secure as having a user name and password.



Captcha is a technique, it is NOT some proprietary script, Web 
technology etc.  You obviously don't have a clue what you're talking about.


The forms scripts I use that happen to use a captcha technique cannot be 
accessed by anyone but a human being who can read and type.  Maybe one 
day someone will build a piece of sw that can read a jumblepd-up bunch 
of pixels and correctly respond to them but it isn't possible right now.


I don't care what company Google bought, it has nothing to do with the 
captcha technique in the scripts I use.


Once again, Phillip, you are speaking before you understand.  And, in 
the process, spreading paranoic mis-information.  Usually your mistakes 
are merely amusing.  In this case, sorry, it's damaging and needlessly 
nutty.

Google does honor them.


I was considering a Captcha software to put on Web page on a website for
an association, I found out that Googel had purchased it. So Now the
members only page on the site will have to eliminated because Google has
a hand in it and can use the captcha Database to break into secure sites.


... a Captcha software ... ???  What are you prattling on about? 
Fine, if one particular captcha script you were contemplating was from a 
company bought by Google, find another!  Good grief.



I trust Google about as far as I can pitch them.


Keep your paranoia to yourself, Phillip.  You're serving no one by

There are endless versions of captcha implementations in PHP and other

No it does not. You cannot log in to a sight with just a captcha
routine but you CAN login w/o it by entering your user/pass. All captcha
is, is a challenge-response mechanism to insure that computer generated

Do you mean that i must change d8af to 5027 ?


No; that would be changing all four digits of the hexadecimal status
code.  Change only the _fourth_ digit (fourth from the left, or last).

(When I wrote digit I did mean digit (and not bit).  Of course,
if you do want to think in terms of bits:  clear the 0x0008 bit, the
fourth-least-significant bit, bit number three in little-endian
numbering starting at zero).))

For example, if you see a message with this:
  X-Mozilla-Status: 0009
(which indicates that the message was marked as read and that the copy
of the message was deleted from the file/mail folder), change it to
this:
  X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
to undelete that copy of the message.

(Actually, simply setting the status to  might be sufficient, but
that would cause SeaMonkey to forget whether the message was marked
as read and some other things--some of which don't matter, but some of
which might.)

It's a Turing test [1]. Are you a human or a robot? Unfortunately,

They will not keep out the general public, so what made you think you

What happens if one of your members sends the link of the interior page

You *need* a username and password to keep - not only Google - but the
_general public_ out of your private pages. And each and every single
page inside the members-only section has to check and see if the user is
logged in. Otherwise, it needs to send them to members/login.

It's probably not a good idea to do that.

When SeaMonkey closes down, it writes changes to it's configuration
files, such as prefs.js and others. By aborting this early, you are not
allowing it to complete these cleanup tasks.


I have a similar experience (SM sometimes fails to terminate properly), 
and I have sometimes waited 10 minutes or more while it does nothing 
(consumes 0% of my CPU) before forcing it to close. The program has 
always run fine afterward. I have never seen it terminate on its own 
once it reaches this state.


By this state I mean:
• program is visible only in Task Manager;
• program is consuming 0% of CPU and has been for at least two minutes.

I have not yet identified any user actions that can reliably cause this 
fault, and I've been looking since I first noticed it in Mozilla 1.7.

It would be nice, rather than constantly belittling you, that someone
with the time (I don't unfortunately) can take you aside via email or
otherwise to instruct you on proper procedure, etc. for what you intend
to accomplish, etc. May also benefit you to look into pre-programmed
applications such as WordPress, Joomla, PHPnuke and so on, all of which
use CAPTCHA - User/Pass authentication and so on. Most all of my PHP
sites, including the UFAQ run with RavenNuke, very very secure and
updated regularly. See www.ravenphpscripts.com, I am on the dev team btw.

1.  User goes to URL of main site
2.  User enters Username and Password and clicks Login
3.  User is taken to the private page(s)

Same way you'd login to any banking, credit card etc. company site. 
Until you do you can only view the public content on the site.  Once 
you login you have access to YOUR private account info.


I have a few private areas on my sites that are password protected.

No it does not. You cannot log in to a sight with just a captcha
routine but you CAN login w/o it by entering your user/pass. All captcha
is, is a challenge-response mechanism to insure that computer generated
access is not automatic via a script, etc.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA


Okay then Captcha is not the way to go. I'll have to investigate adding
Username/Password control.



Investigate what your hosting company provides regarding protected pages.

Re: ZoomText and SeaMonkey

2010-09-23 Thread Beverly Howard

 Your Operating System
Windows XP Services Pack 3
 Your Monitor size
21 inches
 Your Video settings (pixel size)
800 X 600
 Seamonkey version
2.0.8
 my preferred screen magnification is 10X

thanks... that clarifies your need.

It would help to get the ruler size height of a readable character on 
your monitor screen such as 1.5 inches


The point or font sizes end up being dependent on other factors that 
determine the baseline for your display... i.e. if you were to change 
your display settings from 800x600 to 1600x1200, all the characters of 
the same point size would then be 1/4 the size after the switch.


You seem to have a good handle on your setup, so, all I can do is to add 
a few thoughts;


The windows font setting can make a major difference but while helping 
by increasing the size of text throughout the computer, many programs 
assume that the setting will be standard and cut off or hide text that 
is larger than the window it will display in.  To experiment, would suggest


displayproperties/settings/advanced/DPI/Large

You can go to custom but I assume you will find that 150% and larger 
will lead to too many problems.


If you don't have one, consider getting on of the Microsoft Intellimouse 
products.  These have additional buttons on the mouse and ship with 
Intellipoint sofware that includes an excellent magnifier.


You can then set one of these buttons to launch the magnifier which will 
appear centered around the mouse cursor anywhere on the screen.


Additionally, when holding the button down, the scroll wheel varies the 
magnification and moving the mouse resizes the magnification box.


Post specific questions and I and others will try to assist.

Re: SM 2.0.8 on XP consuming CPU after exit?

2010-09-23 Thread Beverly Howard

 It's probably not a good idea to do that. 

While that would be a consideration if SM were still in use and 
accessible, since SM is dead in the water there is no reason not to 
kill the process if there has been an interval since it was used.


fwiw, I have needed to kill SM in taskmanger for many years and have not 
experienced any corruption.


The other point to consider is to see if quick launch is still 
running.  If so, exit from the tray icon and see if it removes the task

Re: Cannot send except at home

2010-09-23 Thread d...@kd4e.com

 If you want help, you need to post some details about about the
 accounts that are not working, and both the incoming and outgoing
 server settings.  Then maybe you can get some specific advice.
 Lee

Incoming E-mail is not relevant as it is working from non-home Wifi
connections for all 3 accounts.  Web browser access also works fine
at home and via Wifi connections away from home.

Outgoing is not working on any of the 3 E-mail accounts via Wifi
connections when away from home but works fine at home for all 3.

The 3 different E-mail accounts are hosted on 3 different servers
by 3 different providers (my ISP, GoDaddy, and a small company).

What, specifically, do you need to know about these accounts that
would be appropriate to post on a public list which content Google
then splashes all over the world?

It seems to me that SM 2.0.8 could only have a couple of settings
that are capable of creating this problem and someone must know
what are those settings.


JAS wrote:
I never had a problem until my ISP changed to secure and required
authentication from me, so it is your ISP.


I appreciate the efforts to help but we seem to be trapped in a
circle.

There are *3 separate Outgoing E-mail servers* involved here.

My ISP is relevant to only 1 of them.

The other two E-mail servers are GoDaddy and a third company.

I cannot conceive of any way that my ISP's settings are relevant
to Outgoing E-mail on the other 2 E-mail providers (even more so
when I am not home).

I can connect and have Web access and Incoming mail (using the Wifi
ISP - not my ISP), so my ISP authentication cannot apply, since I am
already into all three E-mail servers (for Incoming) and my ISP is
not in any way -- at that point -- involved with 2 of the 3.

I get that the E-mail associated with my ISP may require something
special to persuade my ISP to let me Send an E-mail from a non-home
Wifi but that does not explain why the other 2 are giving me the
exact same problem.

It *has* to be a setting in Seamonkey that is common to the 3.

I don't see how this can be related to my ISP because my ISP only
controls 1 of 3 of the Outgoing E-mail accounts.

WDYT?

It would be nice, rather than constantly belittling you, that someone
with the time (I don't unfortunately) can take you aside via email or
otherwise to instruct you on proper procedure, etc. for what you intend
to accomplish, etc. May also benefit you to look into pre-programmed
applications such as WordPress, Joomla, PHPnuke and so on, all of which
use CAPTCHA - User/Pass authentication and so on. Most all of my PHP

Thanks for proving you don't know what a CAPTCHA is - or how to

In captcha you are required Type a series of letters or  numbers that
have been altered to make them difficult to read Only when the are
correctly entered are you able to on continue on.


Yes, that is exactly what a CAPTCHA image is. What about the part where
you think it makes your members only secure from the public?


It's a Turing test [1]. Are you a human or a robot? Unfortunately,
CAPTCHA images have been cracked by bots. They are no longer secure.


No response to that?


They will not keep out the general public, so what made you think you
would have a private, members only section accessible only to the
members? If any human on the planet goes to your entry page they can
interpret the distorted image and gain access to your 'private'
information.

What happens if one of your members sends the link of the interior page
where your association members are listed?  Will random access to that
page redirect them back to the 'login' page?

You *need* a username and password to keep - not only Google - but the
_general public_ out of your private pages. And each and every single
page inside the members-only section has to check and see if the user is
logged in. Otherwise, it needs to send them to members/login.

You should tell your association that you don't understand or know how
to write a private web site.

[1. Did you have to look that up? ]


If I have to put in a User Name /password system will for that page.


What database are you using? Which server-side programming language?
PHP, ASP, PERL?  You can't do it with just HTML.

Do you understand that it needs to include *all* pages in the members
only portion of the web site?  (You didn't respond to the rest of the

d...@kd4e.com a écrit :

The 3 different E-mail accounts are hosted on 3 different servers
by 3 different providers (my ISP, GoDaddy, and a small company).



I also have on my laptop three email accounts hosted on three servers. 
The thing is, in all cases, the SMTP account is the same one: the one 
from my ISP. That is because GoDaddy and such usually don't offer SMTP 
connections, just mailboxes. You need to provide your own connection to 
access email (because GoDaddy is not an ISP, just a host).


What that means is, if I'm at home, I don't need to define a user name 
and password for SMTP since they automatically detect that I am using 
their network (duh, I'm home!). When I'm somewhere else, though, using 
WiFi or whatever, that is not the case. They see I am on a different 
network, trying to access theirs to send email. The email address I am 
using is of no importance, even if it is myaddr...@myisp.com. They just 
detect the network used.


In those cases, my user name and password for my ISP account must be 
defined in SeaMonkey. That allows my computer to tell them that I 
really am just one of their users accessing their server from another 
network.


That is done in the navigator, in Edit -- Account Settings -- Outgoing 
servers. Edit your settings there to put in whatever needs to be put in 
(your ISP can give you this info if you don't have it, and it's usually 
posted on their website).

When SeaMonkey closes down, it writes changes to it's configuration

you login you have access to YOUR private account info.

I have a few private areas on my sites that are password protected.
It's
incredibly easy to create protected folders/directories in my hosting
company's Control Panel.



What Phillip needs is a template-structured boiler-plate application
such as I pointed out in my reply of a few mins ago.



I'm not sure why, Jay, if all he wants to do is protect Web pages. His
hosting company ought to provide that capability via its Control Panel.
If not, he ought to change hosts.


I'll investigate that when They get ready to go online. sounds like a
better idea. I'm afraid they are trying to host it themselves to save
money.

My own Provider for my Website May (Lunar Pages they use cPanel). Never
needed it because I don't wish to hide any of mine.

The Home package is less than $84 a year.  For that trivial sum it's not

It's very obvious Phillip knows not of what he speaks, and he should

not even be able to *have* a web site online.

Geez.  Do you feel good about yourself now BS Nasty?


As long as Phillip spreads FUD, yes I do.



The comment was regarding him being able to have a web site online.


At least he put forth an effort and created something for his family,
regardless of what he used to do it. That's more than millions of
other people have done.


The site he was discussing was not his regularly posted 'family' site,
but was for some sort of association - with members' data at risk to
public exposure. Would you think it is a good idea to let him go on and
expose their information to the public, when that was not what was
requested of him?


Again, the comment was regarding being able to have a web site online,
which is for his family's purposes.  You're twisting the two together.




Now go and blast every site designer that used FP to code sites
instead,


FrontPage?  Doesn't matter what the tool is, if the site is not doing
what it is supposed to be doing.


You blasted him for using Dreamweaver. That's the point. Thousands use
FP and produce crappy websites. Phillip used what tool he could not
knowing how to code by hand.




and leave Phillip be.


What are your thoughts on allowing him to spread false information?



Wow, that's the first time that's happened in these groups...

Terry R.


Originally created crappy pages because I had to learn on my own without 
help what so ever, I was given originally DreamWeaver and told your web 
master of this website. Then when I made my own pages I tried to do the 
right thing originally with XHTML. Well times change and I updated my 
own site using HTML 4.0.1 Strict. But people made fun because I use 
Tables for photos. Still use some on two pages. But at least there are 
no error.


Now this other Association asked me the possibility of creating a site 
for them. As They liked what I had done with the original Association 
site I had worked on.


I  just need the one section Members only to be private. The other would 
be public information.


I frequent sites that use captcha before I can do anything (mostly to 
prove a person is doing something) I thought that might do.  But due to 
everyone ragging me found out that's not secure enough. So I will look 
into  username/password.


If you want to see how bad there current site is Look at
http://www.sesda.org

 That's it.

they want just more than basically Convention Page.  They use aspx pages 
in the original site.

Yes, it's a unix-like OS solution, and not intuitive.


That said, I converted my and my wife's contacts lists (each with about
1,000 entries) to google contacts since they offer free exchange sync
and, as part of the conversion I was very impressed with google contacts
duplicate entry processing.

I make that statement from the perspective of a database programmer who
worked with the frequent need to dedupe huge address lists.

If I were faced with this need today, I would export both lists to csv
format, import them into http://google.com/contacts then run the google
contacts dedupe process and export them when finished.


That may be the best solution for general use.

Remember that the easy way (once you know how to edit the file without

line for the appropriate message and change the fourth digit of the
hexadecimal status code
from '8' to '0',
from '9' to '1',

Do you mean that i must change d8af to 5027 ?


No; that would be changing all four digits of the hexadecimal status
code. Change only the _fourth_ digit (fourth from the left, or last).

(When I wrote digit I did mean digit (and not bit). Of course,
if you do want to think in terms of bits: clear the 0x0008 bit, the
fourth-least-significant bit, bit number three in little-endian
numbering starting at zero).))

For example, if you see a message with this:
X-Mozilla-Status: 0009
(which indicates that the message was marked as read and that the copy
of the message was deleted from the file/mail folder), change it to
this:
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
to undelete that copy of the message.


I had just understand four instead of fourth :-)

OK, that's really the best way to recover a deleted message.
Therefore SM developers can add the action undelete messages in a 
folder instead of uncompact.

There are *3 separate Outgoing E-mail servers* involved here.

My ISP is relevant to only 1 of them.

The other two E-mail servers are GoDaddy and a third company.

I cannot conceive of any way that my ISP's settings are relevant
to Outgoing E-mail on the other 2 E-mail providers (even more so
when I am not home).

I can connect and have Web access and Incoming mail (using the Wifi
ISP - not my ISP), so my ISP authentication cannot apply, since I am
already into all three E-mail servers (for Incoming) and my ISP is
not in any way -- at that point -- involved with 2 of the 3.

I get that the E-mail associated with my ISP may require something
special to persuade my ISP to let me Send an E-mail from a non-home
Wifi but that does not explain why the other 2 are giving me the
exact same problem.

It *has* to be a setting in Seamonkey that is common to the 3.

I don't see how this can be related to my ISP because my ISP only
controls 1 of 3 of the Outgoing E-mail accounts.


This still sounds like the problem I described earlier in this thread.

If your home ISP is indifferent as to which SMTP server you use, all 
will work. If your road ISP requires you to use their SMTP server, then 
any mail sent to any SMTP server other than theirs will be blocked.


Has nothing to do with SeaMonkey. Two workarounds:

1) When connecting on the road, use the corresponding webmails for the 
various accounts, remembering to cc: or bcc: yourself so you'll have a 
local copy of everything you send; or


2) Set up a fourth SMTP server in SeaMonkey, which you don't use at 
home. When you're on the road, change your settings so all outgoing mail 
from all three accounts goes through that server. The server has to be 
that of the ISP through which you're connecting, and you have to have an 
account with that ISP and give name/password the first time you send 
this way (tell SM to remember these). When you return home, point your 
various accounts back to the various SMTP servers you would normally use.


In my case, I don't have an account with that ISP, but my nephew kindly 
allowed me to use his name/password to send mail. Of course, I would 
never use the info to read his mail, but I could if I were unscrupulous, 
so few people would let you do this.

Wow, what a hassle.  So much for convenient and friendly Wifi's when on

My Web host and one of my three E-mail providers agrees with the
info in an article someone private-mailed me that Port 25 is being
blocked.

He suggested trying Port 26, so I have made that change and will test
it at a non-home Wifi connection tomorrow.  It appears to work from
here OK.

Extension Update Available

2010-09-23 Thread David E. Ross
On launching SeaMonkey, I saw a popup informing me that an update to one
of my installed add-ons is now available.  The message did not say which
of 8 add-ons has the update.  I consider the failure to identify which
add-on has a new update to be a serious problem.

I went to the Web sites of all of them.  For 7 of them, I can tell there
is no new updates.

For the DOM Inspector, the Web page at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/inspector/ does not display a version
number.  This add-on was installed with SeaMonkey itself.  I did not
request it; I don't know how to use it; and I'm not sure I want it.

Below is a list of my SeaMonkey add-ons with their version numbers.  Can
anyone tell me which one has a newer version?

Extensions (enabled: 8)

Thanks for proving you don't know what a CAPTCHA is - or how to

In captcha you are required Type a series of letters or numbers that
have been altered to make them difficult to read Only when the are
correctly entered are you able to on continue on.


Yes, that is exactly what a CAPTCHA image is. What about the part where
you think it makes your members only secure from the public?


It's a Turing test [1]. Are you a human or a robot? Unfortunately,
CAPTCHA images have been cracked by bots. They are no longer secure.


No response to that?


They will not keep out the general public, so what made you think you
would have a private, members only section accessible only to the
members? If any human on the planet goes to your entry page they can
interpret the distorted image and gain access to your 'private'
information.

What happens if one of your members sends the link of the interior page
where your association members are listed? Will random access to that
page redirect them back to the 'login' page?

You *need* a username and password to keep - not only Google - but the
_general public_ out of your private pages. And each and every single
page inside the members-only section has to check and see if the
user is
logged in. Otherwise, it needs to send them to members/login.

You should tell your association that you don't understand or know how
to write a private web site.

[1. Did you have to look that up? ]


If I have to put in a User Name /password system will for that page.


What database are you using? Which server-side programming language?
PHP, ASP, PERL? You can't do it with just HTML.

Do you understand that it needs to include *all* pages in the members
only portion of the web site? (You didn't respond to the rest of the
issues...)


Current have the Skeleton pages setup as html. should be able to convert
them.
