Some Beatles For Your Friday:
Today’s quote: “The best way out is always through.” ~ Robert Frost
I know it’s Friday.. But do you have your thinking caps on? Oakland hills residents fight crime with cameras
“Growing concern about crime in the Oakland hills, and a withered Police Department’s apparent inability to do anything about it, has given rise to a new neighborhood strategy embraced by both residents and police: Buy surveillance cameras.
Lots of them.” Read more..
Yes.. feel safer. At any cost.
Today’s quote #2: “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” ~ Benjamin Franklin
A camera watching does not make you safer. It may make it a tiny bit easier to find your murderer, after you’re dead.. Maybe. And then again, maybe not. There are such things as ski masks… A cop walking a beat, now that’s what I’d want.
(And how can a police department, getting larger budgets every year, for two decades, be “withered”? Seems.. curious … )

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

And I am hard pressed to recommend GOTD or GGOTD right now until they figure out the bugs on their new wrapper…. that has “Themida/Starforce” which is raising flags with some security programs. I got company and I am really busy at the moment..so haven’t even downloaded anything yet..so I have no first hand experience with it yet. I understand why they use a wrapper..but I think they could have picked a better one.

Something has changed… « Giveaway of the Day Forums
It’s all over Wilder’s…http://www.wilderssecurity.com/index.php
If I do download anything..for right now I am not impressed and very leery of this type of wrapper…I will be using Sandboxie or Time Freeze.
