| JL | Hello all |
| JL | skypecast at: https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=... |
| Durff | When I click on the Skypecast link, it does not work |
| Durff | you don't want to here me anyway...stroke |
| JL | :) |
| Durff | I'll listen |

| JasonR | How's it compare to Webhuddle? |
| JL | http://www.snap.com/ http://www.quintura.com/ |
| Durff | link to first search engine? |
| Durff | oh i see it |
| dave | http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4990 |
| JL | http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,2062649,00.asp?kc=EWRSS03119TX1K000... |
| cathy e | yea |

| JasonR | found WP and Drupal similar, in terms of initial install |

| dave | http://www.techtree.com/India/News/IE_7_Less_Vulnerable_than_Firefox_2/5... |
| dave | don't know about everyone else, but I get pretty tired of these supposed security flaws cropping up all over the news. Sure, if you visit malicious websites, bad things happen. If you were to drive your car off a cliff, bad things would happen, yet we don't consider this a problem with the car. What we're having to do here is baby the clueless to avoid being labeled as "vulnerable to exploit". If people had to get a licence before "driving" a web browser, there'd be fewer "accidents" on the information highway. |
| JL | skypecast at: https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=... |
| JL | https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/ |
| JasonR | That's a great quote, dave. But do you think the average users is getting more sophisticated or less? |
| arvind grover | our students are debating whether GUI's made computer users less sophisticated or more - was the command line better? |
| JL | https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1449/ |
| arvind grover | can you be a powerful user without knowing the command line? |
| JL | https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2679/ |
| dave | no |
| dave | command line nice |
| arvind grover | firefox 2 has built in command line |
| arvind grover | whoops, meant built in spell check |
| dave | really... had no idea |
| JasonR | I lose perspective because I enjoy tech and dig into the system preferences first thing. For the more casual user, I am not so sure. |
| arvind grover | dave, bookmark those sites or jeff in del.icio.us, come on! |
| Durff | hey! that would be great! |
| arvind grover | fleck.com lets you annotate webpages with notes and the like, pretty nice |
| JL | https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=... |

| Lee | in the modules folder |
| JenniferW | question for Jeff -- so I won't see an admin area -- just auth and anonymous??? |
| JenniferW | Lee -- you were able to do that??? |
| Lee | why cant i see it when i am in the admin mode to enable it? |
| JenniferW | so as ADMIN -- I have full power -- and don't need to run things on and off |
| JL | correct |
| Lee | yes.. |
| JenniferW | Lee -- |
| JenniferW | did you install it?? |
| JL | heading upstairs for dinner - post any lingering questions to the CMSAcademy |
