What does it mean to browse InPrivate?
When I open a new window, I get an option: "Open an InPrivate Browsing window"
Anyone know?
Posted 5 years ago # -
InPrivate browsing is a feature that lets you surf without recording history files and without storing cookies or temporary files on your computer. Basically, it's like deleting your history and TIFs after every time you browse.

Thanks Reb squeak. The benefits being?
Posted 5 years ago # -
The benefits being self-defined. Whatever reason you might have for not wanting to store a history of your web travels. Could be because you are using a public computer, could be because you don't want your harddrive cluttered, or could be because you are looking for a perfect gift idea for your favorite blogger who is having a birthday soon and you don't want him to see what you are buying. Not that I have access to your computer, but just in case ;). The possible benefits are whatever you can think of. But to most people, it doesn't really matter. It's a feature that you may never care to use.

HP, I take it you're in Beis Medrash. Right?
with my name, so every letter stands for something else. More like M. E. P. A. L. not like I'm a pal of myself.
Posted 5 years ago # -
so what does it stand for mepal? come on spill the beans!
Posted 5 years ago # -
mepal
actually not , but if you meant that i'm learning you're correct
as an aside there aint nuthin wrong with being a pal of yourself just don't over do it
Posted 5 years ago # -
HP, that name could've only come from someone learning.
re my SN: of course not! I just wouldn't have chosen such a way to identify myself.

anyone know why the google logo looks like it does today? nothing comes up when i put my curser over it

Crop circles. Click on it
Posted 5 years ago # -
mepal, if you have a Toshiba this will work (it may also work for others but I couldn't say). Hit fn+tab. This should cause the fn menu to pop up. When it does, close it and fn won't work.
If you never want to see fn again, you can edit your startup menu. The simple way to do this is if you see the fn exe program in Start -> Programs -> Startup. If you don't see it, then you can do Start -> Run and type msconfig.exe. This will give you edit access to config.sys, which is probably something you shouldn't try unless you have confidence in your ability.

Crop circles are a documented hoax. I'm not sure why anyone would want to learn more.
Posted 5 years ago # -
Thanks squeak! I have a Dell so I'll try fn+tab and see what happens.
I dont excel in computer programming so I wouldn't play around with the 'Run' feature.
I really dont understand why they must make it so complicated! Who needs it anyways?
Posted 5 years ago # -
There are documented cases of C.C. hoaxes (guys flattening the grain with wooden bars and ropes, etc.) But that doesn't prove that all cases are hoaxes.
I don't think they are any more disproven than alien UFOs.Posted 5 years ago # -
glad to keep you busy, ames :-)

kapusta, if you have it on your laptop, it would be on the right of the 'window' button to your left. On a laptop, half the keys have 'blue' letters on them that get activated when you press the fn button.
Posted 5 years ago # -
mepal - I have another idea for the less technically inclined. Remove or bludgeon the fn key. That will completely disable the feature. I did this to my F1 key (nothing more annoying than accidentally hitting F1 and being slowed down while the help files load).

kapusta: STAY FAR AWAY FROM IT!! Leave it alone and dont start up with it!
squeak, fine. I do that, you explain to daddy when he blows the cover, deal?
Posted 5 years ago # -
Sure. Send him my way :)
That's it for me, pal.

kapusta, are you sure you dont work here? How'd ya know I was singin?
Posted 5 years ago # -
kapusta is beta testing some of our new equipment: The Moderator Espionage Monitoring Module. When the testing is done all new posters will be required to have their computers outfitted with it. The older posters will be exempt.

with the way you sing, I think anyone could tell. Well maybe they thought it was a squeaky pipe or something. ;)
When I was working, there were men in the back working and they had music on during the day. There was one song, whenever it came on, I wasn't sure if it was the machines they were running or the music. Thats how bad it sounded.
