[clug-talk] Help with gmail

Hi Folks, This is somewhat off topic but I hope you can forgive that. A friend has been the victim of a scam involving gmail: emails were sent out asking for loans to help the victim get home from England. Fortunately, I noticed that the email address, purported to be the victim's, was not quite

Re: [clug-talk] Help with gmail

Obviously the short answer is to not use gmail. On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 09:02:04AM -0700, Richard Carter wrote: > Hi Folks, > > This is somewhat off topic but I hope you can forgive that. > > A friend has been the victim of a scam involving gmail: emails were sent out > asking for loans to help

Re: [clug-talk] Help with gmail

One of my faculty members used Gmail for personal email and had her account locked. I'm not sure why. She ended up abandoning that address and starting over with another email provider after failing to get any recourse from Google. --[Lance] -- GPG Fingerprint: 409B A409 A38D 92BF 15D9 6EEE 9

Hi Richard, have you tried https://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/request.py?hl=en&contact_type=acc_reco&ara=2&ctx=acc_reco&rd=1 yet? He will obviously need a working email somewhere. @terr Dude, not helpful to provide the "short" answer and neglect to provide a "long" one. That kind of ans

Re: [clug-talk] Help with gmail

There are many variations on this, each with a unique solution. Many are documented in the "Help" section on Gmail (upper right corner, near the Sign Out link.) Search for "account compromised" and go from there. If you have already done this, then I'm not sure what else to try. -Mark C. On Fr

There is nothing real fast when dealing with a giant. I have had great success with getting Gmail help on a paid account and no success with Gmail free account. If your friend needs an account right away I suggest as someone above as done - just register a new one. Further to this - if the fellow

Re: [clug-talk] Virtual machines

I got a netbook running windows 7 starter and kubuntu 10.04 netbook edition. It runs a bit faster in linux. The big thing would be to upgrade the ram to 2 gig if you can. I have not tried to run virtual machine on 1 gig of ram yet. I have a second netbook running just linux kubuntu 10.04 netb

Re: [clug-talk] Virtual machines

This sounds very positive. Which processors do your netbook use? The ASUS machines I have been considering has an N270 which I like because it has a power saving feature and will fall back to about 200 mHz if its not doing anything. However these machines seem to be limited to 1GB. A bette

Re: [clug-talk] Virtual machines

Both of mine have the N455, the one is the HP Mini and I upgraded the ram to 2GB, my other is a Toshiba NB305 with 1GB of ram. They all have only 1GB of ram from the manufacturer but most can be upgraded to 2GB. The downside is they only have one ram slot so upgrading means the old ram has to

Re: [clug-talk] Virtual machines

It should be noted that I have since sold most of my Atom based systems (there may be one or two collecting dust, but nothing in service). They were too slow to be really useful. The screens on the netbooks were too small and limited for my liking. On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 5:43 PM, Gustin Johnson

Re: [clug-talk] Virtual machines

You make some really good points. The benchmarks I've seen of the atom put it faster than a PIII tualatin and now I see you put it in the league of an 800 mHz PIII which should probably be coppermine or before. Let me check into a mini itx system. Can you suggest a model# for a P55 based Core
