"Julie&Julia" - Learned the art of French cooking


I probably overly sentimental ... Here only saw the film "Julie & Julia: Cooking happiness on prescription". I am so impressed with the film, he explained to me this time of night, And if the whole truth, then in the morning:), to sit down for this article.

A movie is not action and no melodrama, no special effects, just a good game and voice actors, direction and camera art. Last me a little more closely, because of the passion photography. Well, the theme of the film was close to my blog "beginners on Internet" - http://vladekas.com/blog/. And again, we are in the movie is not about hackers or cool end of the world, due to global disruptions in computer systems.

Simple girl of civil servants, Julie Powell (actress Amy Adams) got carried away a cookbook by Julia Child: "learned the art of French cooking" (played by Meryl Streep). And she decided to try to make meals for all 524 recipes for exactly one year. Thus, escape from everyday life, and having a purpose in life. And to control myself started blogging with a description of how she did it. Do not own recipes, as well as she had done and how she lived at that time. And it all happened. And her husband ate delicious - it's me so dreamy :-).


 





The film lives in the two times, separated by a half century. Two heroines live and prepare meals. Both husbands, social circle and purpose in life. One learns to cook, and then wrote a book. Others, however, today, reading her book, learning to cook French food, and every day blogging. A blog becomes popular. Appears audience blog comes fame and most long-awaited opportunity to become a writer.

The film put on the real stories and real books (Julie Powell, "Julie & Julia. Cooking recipe for happiness" and Julia Child My Life in Paris "). Murmured the Russian-speaking recently on Twitter, among bloggers. There I heard about it and. For some, it becomes an example of setting goals, achieving them. For some, an example of hard work. For those who are blogging is far and do not understand, it may be only an entourage and the interesting history of the formation of human and personal relationships. And for someone of you, this movie can be a motivation to start a diary or a full-fledged blog. Moreover, the young heroine of the film also made it to the free service, with the simple creation of pages. «The Julie / Julia Project» still actually exists at: http://blogs.salon.com/0001399/ - but the service no longer accepts new blogs.

And I had the motivation yet to finish minicourse on bloggers: "Reality shows: Creating a blog on bloghostinge Blogger.com". Who really wants to make it a blog, download, look and parallel viewing, make your own. And who does not, then I warn you right away - my courses on-a-very boring to watch, without the need. Unlike the movie "Julie & Julia", which I advise to go and look in the movie theater.


I also get a half hours and 175 MB (I will still try to reduce, and while so). A reference to the movieclip below - click on the button. The technical paper will be a couple of days - reported in the newsletter ...

Bon Appetit ...

Registration and use of mail portal @Mail.Ru


One day recently, I have decided to get a particular mailbox on Mail.Ru. And do not expect that service will be really interesting for me. And then, I write all about Yandex. As it turned out, only registered e-mail box on the mail, opened access to the mass of other services Mail.ru. That and "My World" and related capabilities to your blog, add your own videos, create photo albums, play flash games online, ask questions and get answers.

But it is obvious that the majority of my subscribers that will not surprise. Indeed, according to my rough statistics, about 60% of subscribers have mailboxes on Mayl.ru. Well, I thought of you keep up:). At the same time and attach to this community the rest of my readers not familiar with it. However, given the fact that the portal at the same time is an average of one hundred thousand people, per se rather than a little much.

In this article, I briefly on the registration on the portal Mail.ru, configuring popular email programs to receive mail from the account mail, on your computer. In addition, the process will be considered separately uploads videos to the portal in the next article.

Note that the portal is a very sensible HELP on using mail services and, in particular. In my boring videos, and keep his "hand", during the setting-mail.

Consider the process of registration

In principle, all standard.

  • We go to the portal home page (http://mail.ru/), where we find a login form in the service, in the upper left corner;
  • Click on the button "Register in the mail"
  • On the next page, fill out the form (name, surname, date of birth), pick up a free login to the box and select the domain (@ mail.ru, @ list.ru, @ bk.ru, @ inbox.ru), specify the desired password twice ( roman numbers and letters)
  • In case you lost your password, to recover it select a secret question and give him the secret answer, specify an alternative email inbox, mobile phone.
  • There is additional information (gender, hometown)
  • Retain or create your account, we remove a tick in the "My World" (if you just want mail, then we remove)
  • Put in the form of code in the image (captcha) and click the button "Register a mailbox


If everything is entered correctly, then you will congratulate the successful creation of a mailbox, which can be immediately and take advantage of. To do this, follow the link "right now". You open your mailbox with folders: Inbox, Uncertain, Sent, Drafts, Trash. From your inbox automatically detected in a welcome letter from the service. Send a letter you will be able, after clicking on the link "write a letter (with the image of the pen, in the beginning).

If you left, during the registration check consent to create "your world", it had to be on the page, after registering to do some more work. There will need to enter information about your education (for school, vocational school, HEI) and save them. Now you can use and e-mail account and services in the "My World". The world will have to adjust in the future already in the section. Will need to download an avatar (main photo of), customize the display and access.

Note that if you are under the authorization with us, you have the opportunity to get to any section of the other sections by clicking on the tab at the top: Mail, My World, Photo, Video, Blogs, Games, Dating. In general, using servisov@Mail.Ru intuitive and well thought out. Perhaps, for this and for a variety of services to users and to love.

Shared data that you need to know before setting up the e-mail programs

Fresh data looking at the official page with the service. At the same time relevant following things:

  • The names of Mailboxes are: name@mail.ru, name@list.ru, name@bk.ru, or name@inbox.ru. Where «name» - chosen by you login.

Furthermore, adjusting access to SMTP-protocol must be specified in the program that the server requires authentication. If you properly configure this feature, then send an email with the program can not.

Setting mail module Opera to receive letters from Mail.ru

In principle, the setting is not much different from that described in the article: "How to use the Opera browser as your email program". So all the paint will not. Dwell only on two important points.

  • When choosing an account type to choose: "Surface mail (POP)". On receiving the letters mail will have to work.

And in the Name field, type the full address of the box (type «name@mail.ru»). Details in onlaynpomoschi Meyl.ru article: "Setting up SMTP-authentication for the Opera".

The program should work effectively.

For letters click on the toolbar button "Deliver", and to send a "Create", to issue a letter and then click "Send".

Setting The Bat to receive letters from Mail.ru

Almost one of the best programs to work with the mailboxes. This is especially good email client, if you have multiple e-mail. True, the official version of the fee, its trial version can be downloaded, or just buy a license to a home version for $ 25 at the site of the developer RITLabs. Find this program you can and through search engines.

Set the program and then configures the account. Specified, that it during the installation and you'll be creating your first account. But, I have a program for a long time working, and I will create a new account in the accompanying video. Official Help on setting: "The settings in The Bat!".

To configure The Bat! at Mail.ru Repeat the following operations:

  • Next, choose the protocol to access the mail server (a POP3) and specify the server address of incoming and outgoing mail. Under the address of the smtp-server, tick "My SMTP server requires authentication"
  • In the following form, enter the name of the mailbox (username) to the @ symbol and a password. I advise you to check out: "Leave messages on server" - if necessary, then change the settings.
  • In the new form you are asked whether you want to see other properties of the mailbox, mark "Yes" and click "Finish".

You will find yourself in the properties of the mailbox. Here we need to configure SMTP-server on the correct functioning of sending letters.

How to restore access to the ICQ number means service


Continuing the theme article "ICQ  - what and how to install". Frankly, I take this service very often, just in case. A recently installed Skype, I liked more - simpler, and does not slow, at startup. But it is to the amateur.

Consider going to a hypothetical situation where you lose access to ICQ. I mean, forget your password. This situation may occur after you reinstall your operating system. Or, imagine a crash when exiting from the program, its contents are still with the registration, login and password. Who knows ...

Situation, when you increase the data access ICQ, and changed the mailbox will not consider. I'm afraid that in this case, the number for you, unfortunately, lost.

To begin with, that to get a new password, you must have access to an electronic mailbox, which is registered ICQ, and you remember the secret answer to your secret question. Only in this case, you are able to restore access to a number.

In order to service you a new password generated the need to go to the page of your website ICQ "Support-Retrieve Password". There you will see the form of two columns.
In the titles you will see an inscription:
The first - "I Forgot my ICQ Password" (I forgot my password for ICQ)
The second - "I Forgot my ICQ Number" (I forgot my number ICQ)


On this page you can access from the data entry forms in the program by clicking on the "Forgot Password".

If you have access to the mailbox, or use the email client, then find the letter with the registration data obtained after the registration number. There you will find your number ICQ. This number, type in the first form in the field "ICQ number" and click "Next". If the number is lost, but remember nickname (login), under which communicated with this number, then fill the second form. They are writing their own labels: the nickname, name, surname, address of the box - exactly as specified at registration, and presses "Search".

In the second step, generate a new password in the form to write the answer to your secret question (he will be given), email address registration, fill the captcha (the numbers from the image) and click "Submit". If all goes well, then the resulting page, a message appears stating that your email took a new password.

We receive new mail, we find a letter from the slide ICQ, and there is a new password to the program. Start the animation ICQ, then enter the number or nickname and a new password, click "Sign" and ... Voila! You are in the program ... I hope:)

I repeat that this method will suit you only if you have access to the box, which was recorded ICQ. In most cases, and for other services, this is generally true. So what, watch your mailbox. Because, judging from the commentary to the article: "How do I delete a mailbox in Yandex", - the loss of access to it can be very painful.

Below you can download an archive of the three video-based installation, registration, restoration of access and work with the program ICQ. Online versions of which, as you can see right now, without leaving the site.

SMS-trap, or, How to pay via SMS on the Internet


In the past month, began appearing in the online publication, the various nuances of payment via SMS on the Internet. Including, and unpleasant, for buyers of services, points of technology. People trite "get on the money." First, due to personal negligence, and secondly, because of incorrect, in my opinion, providing information on conditions of payment, sellers of services. I'll try to make out in this article, from the perspective of an ordinary user, some questions of technology SMS payments. As well as determining the value of SMS to short number, some tricks vendors targeting users of inattention and ignorance of their essence of the process.

Technology Payment SMS messages, the user's eyes

By itself, the payment for services on the Internet via SMS is not a bad thing. In a society where, still, bank cards are used primarily for removal of wages in ATM - is the most convenient way to pay for services on the Internet. For a SMS to short number, you can: access the Private area of this site, pay for electronic goods, buy keys for games and software, to replenish the balance in the various services, buy a premium account's on fayloobmennikah, pay for online services in social networks such as "classmates "or" VKontakte "and much more. This payment method is dynamically developing and encompasses more and more different areas in the network.

So, now, anyone with a web resource can bind to its draft system of payment for services or goods via SMS. Even I:). This is done with the help of special services under the name: "SMS-billing. SMS-billing as an intermediary between the mobile operator and the seller. Through it run all operations for the short numbers.

In general, the process is as follows. You, the buyer who wants to buy the service, send to the proposed seller of the four-digit type "XXXX", smsku from your mobile with text such as «PAY QWERTY +342», and in return receive a SMS with a code or a key to anything. Here, "XXXX" - is not a unique number just for this seller. This number is universal for a particular value of the amount which would remove a mobile operator with your account. Unique to the seller is the message (prefix) that you send to this number, and it is for him billing determines the answer that comes to you in response SMS.

Therefore, short numbers, which are required to send smski crooks, for example, to unlock the browser from pornoinformera or operating system, not themselves fraudulent. Example - this short numbers 3649 and 4460. And here is the text of the message which I hope you did not send, if they had such problems, and a short number to which it is required to send, please feel free to send a complaint to support billing, and their attendants. We must seek to block the payment of these rates for text messages.

How do you know the cost of SMS to short number

We turn to the main issue. The most important thing you need to know if you decide to make payment via SMS, is the actual amount to be withdrawn from your operator for sending SMS.

First. The best way to get the most accurate information about the cost smski on a short number, will call the technical support of your mobile operator. Most likely, you will be redirected to the operator, working with financial information. Incidentally, this service can also be paid. At this point you know best - your operator.

Second. You can find SMS-billing, service specific short number. For example, specifying in search engine queries such as: "the cost of SMS to number XXXX" or "XXXX + + billing rates. You can also go through the list of sms-billing-site-directory billing SMSobzor.ru. Look for the cost of SMS to the number of sections such as "rates". You will see that for different operators the cost of SMS may vary considerably.

Third. There are several services to find the cost of SMS to short number. They have at their bases, there is information about the cost of services linked to the mobile operator. Most sensible, that I found this: SMS-price, SMScost, Flapps. Work in these services easily. Enter the form number and presses the button «Enter» - get a list of operators and corresponding to each value. How these data are accurate, can not be judged responsible. But comparing the data across multiple rooms, services and billing, and saw that they are identical. Obviously, SMS-price takes data from billing, and SMScost - and with billing and communications with the users themselves.

Only after learning the actual amount of payment, is to decide the feasibility of the payment. Perhaps you do not have access to a monthly service for $ 10, but enough for 12 hours and a half, or one film per dollar. Closely Meet the terms of payment, because the first sentence from the seller not the cheapest. Everything is like in real life, such marketing. But on this see below.

Pitfalls of payment via SMS sites

What can I say ... Everyone wants to make money: and cellular operators, and billing services, and sellers. A recent strangles "toad" because of the fact that they receive only 50% of the CMC. So resorted to various tricks, for the introduction of user confusion regarding the terms of payment. And less than expected "lifetime" service, the more misleading.

By the way, the most accurate information about the payment, provided by large portals on the old. I used SMS payment on Mail.ru and Odnoklassniki "- in both cases it was stated correctly. Obviously, the risk of losing revenue and customers for improper billing, they do not want

Another thing with the so called SMS who pay. It services such as "Test", "Determination of the history of the name", "Search to find a subscriber to the number", "Intercepting SMS, online access to content (content) sites adult themes, download movies and so on.

Most white way of providing the information I saw in the movies. First, give the number of access to No Limit download per month, and only slightly lower than the number of cheaper options (1 movie, 3 films, 1 week). But it is done within a single browser window, and the text is clearly visible in contrasting background. Tu only need not to hurry, and carefully read the terms and check the cost of a SMS to short number.

But it is in the best case. Another may simply put a link to a page with the billing rates. And often, you'll see text like: "Access to the month 5p * SMS to number XXXX. Asterisk noticed? Most likely, sending SMS, you pay for access to the service or execution of services (tests, gathering information about the names) for a month at least. Only you will know about it after payment. And if you still decide to learn first, which means "*", then somewhere in the bottom of the page light gray letters on a white background will be written in terms. And if the background color, the font color is closest to the background color. And perhaps more will have to scroll down a couple of totally blank browser windows until the get to the text. Or "*" will be marked with other conditions of use and, somewhere on the page in small print a link to the access rules. And there will again be light text on a white background and a large empty field between the rules and proper use of the terms of payment.

To check availability of light slabovidimogo text on the page, I shake your keyboard «Ctrl + A», or the left mouse button selects all text on the page. The background will be black and white text. And you can read what we found:
Price per day;
access to the service is carried out by at least 30 days;
for authorization to send 3 SMS straight to the short number (ie, the price will be even more);
different operators cost varies, and some will have to pay at least 60 days access


Of course, not necessarily just such a set, but this is the biggest pitfalls of pay for these sites.

Another problem in the payment via SMS, your inattention while typing in the sending SMS. The text must be exactly what is specified in terms of payment for a short number. This means that all spaces should be spaces, numbers, letters and signs are spelled correctly. If you make a mistake, the money can be withdrawn at the cost of SMS to short number, and the service you receive. How then to understand I do not know - most likely, you will lose money. Although a similar experience I had when buying a key to one of the training courses. But then everything was decided by direct communication with the seller, because the text SMS from me went right, but only the code sent to the billing, did not work.

Innovations in the form of SMS-subscription

In addition to the above phenomena now have another kind of withholding money from the user, using inattention and passion of man to freeloading. This method is called "SMS subscription". In this case, the user is prompted to enter your number in the form, then the phone comes free with smska code.

So, if you enter this code on the site, you agree to themselves to collect money from your room. Cheating money will begin within 24 hours of free access and will continue every day for a month. Sites with such payment, I have not seen and do not know whether there is in a way to stop collecting money from the account. Although the idea of access to subscription-positive. But only if you're charged for the action: get every day - to cancel, but not gone - not gone anyway. It is implemented GPRS-Internet access in some mobile operators. At the same time, the Internet is information appeared on the introduction of user confusion manner of payment.

Summarize.

I believe that SMS payment, in essence, a positive phenomenon in the Internet, and which, naturally, enjoy the crooks. All the same, the user can easily pay for the goods or service and get them quickly, without the use of payment systems and bank cards. The owners of resources can provide quality services and goods for payment. However, you should always be careful and understand the value and method of providing services. We need to understand whether you pay for the service 300 or more rubles Unscrupulous seller. Maybe easier to go to the store?

Part 1 / 2 We consider the application to pay by SMS on the Internet. How do I know the exact cost of SMS to short number. Services SMS-billing.



Part 2 / 2 are considered subterfuge resorted to by different vendors of services for SMS payment, to the Internet. (Video came out, though, a little chaotic)

ICQ - what and how to



Post was born as a response to the Comment to the article on communication in the network, from a visitor blog, Sergei. Thank you all still happy that your article someone read it and ask questions. Well, in the case.
ICQ - it basically stands for "I SEEK YOU - I am looking for you", and she has lived since 1996. For a man - a program using their Internet protocols for data transmission. After that you can find other people to communicate exchanging messages, use it as a program for viewing the Internet, send SMSki, make Internet phone calls.


To install the program it should download. Can a parent site ICQ.com, can be a Rambler-ICQ or Bigmir) net. Look for the button-type "Download ICQ", "Download ICQ". Click on them. Browser, a program in which you see web page, will offer to save the file - agree (remember where to save). After downloading run the file "Install_ICQ65.exe" - install a program on your computer.

After installation, run the program panel. By default, it starts when you start the system windose. If not run itself, then run through Start-Programs-ICQ6-ICQ6. (ICQ6 at the time of reading may already ICQ6.5 or ICQ7 and so on). The right side of the screen you'll see a set ICQ.

Because of their numbers in ICQ you do not, then connecting to the Internet and click the button-link "Register" button on your ICQ. The program opens a window ICQ Sing-Up, that is, the registration window. Possible connection to the server service will be set a little slow - be patient.

The first step in registering is to create the "Account" or your account. You need to enter your email address in the column "Name" and password to access the service, to repeat the same password next time (this is confirmed), to invent and introduce nickname - The name you use on the network. Additionally you can also enter the name and surname, date of birth, gender. Click the button "Next".

The second step - this is personal preferences. Here you enter their country, languages spoken. Enter your security question and answer, to be able to access your account to recover lost passwords. Enter the number from the image at the bottom - it is necessary to protect the service from automatic registration (called a "captcha"). Again click "Next."

Window opens, where it will be given your personal New Number ICQ - rewrite. Currently nine-digit number. If you do not overwrite not worry - all the information on the account sent to the mailbox you specified in step one. Click the Next button.

You will transfer into your program ICQ and it will automatically authorize a service on a number. All can be used. Log after restarting the computer is carried through the mail or mail or through the room.

Using the program intuitive. I think that there is no need for it, in this case, paint. We must try to use. If you need to use ELISA, the vozpolzuytes online HELP type "ICQ Help" on bigmir or rambler

There are also several types of ICQ-client programs from other developers type: QIP (Quiet Internet Pager), Miranda im, JIMM (this is for mobile). There is also a business of selling short and beautiful rooms shestiznakov, semiznakov.

Save, in this case, you must file with the following information:

- Bookmarks Opera, file «Opera6.adr» (in the version Opera9) or «bookmarks.adr» (in the version Opera10) - your saved favorites web pages - news feeds, file «opera-newsfeeds.opml» (in the version of Opera 9 ), and in versions of Opera 10, is the folder in the directory of e-mail program - a list of RSS-belts, you are subscribed to - contact Opera, file «contacts.adr» - saved by you, contact details for other internet users (created in the menu "Tools") - settings Opera, file «opera6.ini» (a version of Opera 9) or «operaprefs.ini» (a version of Opera 10) - keeps your browser settings (appearance, display panels and so on and etc.) - cookies, file «cookies4.dat» - Cookies store sites, and that it is read here (management is committed to the menu Tools-Advanced-Manage cookies ...). - passwords, file «wand.dat» - passwords to sites that you have stored in your browser (managed from the Tools menu, Advanced, Manage Passwords ...).

In fact, placement, and the name of these files, in versions Opera9.64 Opera10.01 been different. However, as a result, the new version over the old one was good and I did not have to do anything.

The actual determination of necessary files and folders, you can look as follows. In the top menu, click Help-About "in the resulting page, find the section" Paths ", in which both are addresses in the computer to folders Opera. Most of the files in the new version are in the directory "folder Opera: C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \ Application Data \ Opera \ Opera», and mail and RSS news feeds in the directory "mail folder: C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Opera \ Opera \ mail ». In the old version of this directory: "Folder Opera: C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \ Application Data \ Opera \ Opera \ profile \» and the same mail folders: C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Opera \ Opera \ mail ». Folder «C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \» you do not necessarily called the «Admin», although probably true.

If this folder, you will not see folders «Application Data» and «Local Settings», it means that you have disabled the display of hidden files and folders. This happens if the file or folder, through their "properties" is assigned the hidden attribute. See such files and folders are made as follows: in any folder on your computer, we click on the top menu click "Tools", then "Folder Options" - "View", in the form, looking in the window "Options" settings "Hidden files and folders" , put a click on "Show hidden files and folders" and save the settings click on the button "OK". You want appears mrzhete folder where you copy the necessary files and folders, to keep out of the system drive. After the upgrade, if you update to fail, and the settings and data erased, saved files can be moved to the working folder.

In short, you started Ivan Susanin in the impenetrable jungle of technology:). But it is only necessary to know everything to restore the files with passwords and cookies. Information about this when I had the need to examine the question, I found the relevant article of the site Luzerblog. RSS same and bookmarks are saved and restored much easier by the program.

To save a backup RCC feeds and bookmarks, click on the top menu of your browser click "File". In the menu that opens, click on "Import and Export", is there something you want to back up and export to a backup folder you created in my computer. There you can make the import of data from the saved files after the upgrade program, as well as favorite lists or import mail from other programs.

Summarize what was said. The program for viewing Internet hamlets, browser Opera 10.01 Final, as well as other browsers are gradually becoming "combine" to work on the Internet. It built many useful features: bookmarks, history of visits to internet resources, download manager, rss-reader, email program, and various widgets and so on. Of course we must be able to carry it all between the versions and restore after reinstalling the operating system. I hope this article in this matter will be helpful.

Later in the article, presented a video tutorial about installing or reinstalling the program viewer (browser) Opera version 10.01 final. In lessons analyzed questions: where to download the program and what data should be saved for later recovery program settings, if you're already used to it.

How to use the Opera browser as your email program


Once, I read the study of statistics, which indicated that 80% of users use e-mail service post, just visiting the site of the service provider. Although, at the same time, there is already a lot of opportunities to receive mail directly to your computer using mail program email client. And it, in principle, then, and do not have to look far. The simplest version, for example, is set in Windows, Outlook Express. But, as it will be discussed in a future article.

Today, we consider the possibilities in this regard, the browser Opera. As it turned out, after three years of its operation to me, there exists a built extension, which is serving as the mailer. Moreover, management and creation of the letters are absolutely similar to that used in the service we give to the electronic mailboxes. Until that synchronizes the folder structure, including the further you have created, in the account's service, and actions undertaken by you on the files of letters in the mail program. For this, you need to include the function in the IMAP settings on the service and thus create an account in mailer.

By the way, before signing up for a mailbox, in any such program, advise on service to find the Help section and Settings. 100% There are instructions for setting up most popular email programs. Let these pages will be open, because you will need to set:
  • address POP3-or IMAP-server - it is responsible for incoming mail;
  • address of SMTP-server - it is responsible for outgoing mail from you; 
  • particular setup SMTP-server for a specific service; 
  • possible, although unlikely, will require port numbers to work with servers.
Separately, in a text file, save such data (to make it easier to fill by kopipasta):
  • full email address (such vashlogin@servis.ru)
  • password
After this, go to the procedure for creating an account at the Opera. For this, the top horizontal menu, click on the tab "Tools", where we find "Accounts-mail and instant messaging. If you do not have a single account, then after clicking on the item pops up a window with the question: "You need to create an account before you proceed. Create it now? "Click" Yes "and will receive the following form, where you will be asked to select the type of this record. Select "Email" and click "Next>". In the new form you will be asked to enter: full name, address, mailbox and organization (I always write in such a field, home) - and again click "Next>". The following entry form: username ( «vashlogin» from the address) and password to access your mail. In the same manner we choose, on what the protocol will receive mail, "Surface mail (POP)» or IMAP. The default is POP.

Actually, on the «IMAP» I already wrote above. If you select it, then you need to turn it on in the settings of mail service. Moreover, not a fact that such a protocol is supported by your service. Study the "Help" and "Settings" service. You may need to edit the address IMAP and SMTP server settings in the following form.

To begin, I advise you to choose POP. In this case, if the server addresses, the service standard (POP3 - type «pop.servis.ru», and SMTP - «smtp.servis.ru»), after clicking "Next>" in the following form and you'll see them in forms " Incoming Mail Server "and" Outgoing Server ", which checks the address server and presses" OK ". However, it is quite possible that, after you click "Next>" the account creation process is completed, and the program immediately begins to download messages. For example, so I had to configure the mailbox "@ gmail.com» and «@ mail.ru». Obviously, the configuration of some services is already in the new browser versions of Opera 10.01 Final, and further adjustment can be viewed on ofsayte most Opera.

After the formation of the first account, in the top menu of your browser, you will see the tab "Mail", where you can work with electronic correspondence. But I advise you to configure your browser to display additional sidebar "Quick Tabs". To do this, click: "View" - "Toolbars", tick the "Panels".

Side will narrow socket with icons of tools: bookmarks, mail, contacts, widgets, notes, downloads, history and more (add on option, "+" sign in the panel). If you click on the icon with the letter, then opens the control panel ribbons news and e-mail accounts. Choose the necessary and appropriate content from the received mail is displayed in the browser window, and in the panel itself will open a standard folder structure of the mailbox. Create and respond to messages the same way as you did in the account's in the service. Receiving initialized right click on the name of the account and choosing from the context menu "Check Mail".

If you do something incorrectly configured when you create an account or want to customize it, then click on the button again on the tab menu "Tools" and then "Accounts-mail and instant messaging." A form of "Account Management", where you need the left mouse button to click once on the name desired, and click the "Change".

A window will appear "Account Properties" from the tabs in which you and make the necessary changes:
1)  General settings (record name, address, mailbox, etc.).
2)  Then, if necessary, make changes in the server address and authentication settings.
3) Basic settings - this is checked by the function "Leave messages on server" (as for me, it is best to keep) and a number of minutes to check mail on the server (decide in 5 minutes or 105).
4) Settings outgoing messages (encoding, some settings) and editing of the automatic email signature (I advise to make his signature).

To save the settings, click "OK".

Mail folders in the program is available at: «C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Opera \ Opera \ mail», where «Admin» you may be different (read the article about the Opera browser 10.01 Final). I recommend making a backup folder on the non-system disk.

The above procedure is, in principle, be repeated to configure mail accounts and in other programs. Of course, with minor nuances, they are characteristic. The key features are correct: the address box, password, server addresses, and authentication of them, ports.

In the video lesson, to the article, the process demonstrated by the example of services: Gmail and YandexMail - for IMAP protocol and Mail.ru - for POP protocol. In future articles, namely on the basis Mail.ru will be shown the process of working with Outlook Express and the Bat. The solution is, though clumsy, the question of use Yahoo, not giving free access to e-mail programs, considered the second article of this blog: "How to solve the problem of receiving mail from Yahoo!?»

This is no joke. Influenza A (H1N1) - methods of prevention


Well, I did not think seriously: (when I wrote an article about the virus blocking Windows that such an infection as a California "pork" influenza type A (strain H1N1), in Reale in Ukraine will be. And given that my region, too, was in the zone Risk is already beginning to be neposebe. Well, because, in this case, the best option cure - it does not get sick, it is my duty, to describe those things on the prevention of the disease that I found on the web. Hopefully, this will be only a small, but my part to fight the epidemic.

As it turned out, the virus, if the body has other types of flu kills them. The risk of the disease in that it has all the same symptoms as normal, but very rapidly. And, if time does not apply to doctors, the disease becomes severe acute respiratory pulmonary pneumonia, with all the ensuing consequences. It spreads via droplets and airborne dust by between people (the pigs this virus is related in name only). The only effective drugs are oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Article about the virus in Wikipedia: Swine_influenza. The situation with the epidemic in Ukraine is tracked on the portal page Forpost:    "UKRAINE attacking unknown viruses! ON-LINE"

Consider the symptoms. I really hope that neither you nor I are still not tangible. 

Adults:

  • Voluntary quarantine (not to go to places of mass gatherings of people, do not go to visit, to postpone the trip). 
  • The use of masks in the street and at work and at home. They say the massive use of masks stopped the epidemic. However, disposable mask is effective not more than 4 hours. Gauze masks can be reused after thermal treatment. The mask must be either a one-time, which after the change to throw in the basket, or multiple, which after washing should be carefully stroking a hot iron. Neprovereno, but there is information about some of the risks of wearing masks, in the sense of how the disease will occur if all the same to happen when you carry the infection - it matters to professional epidemiologists. But, obviously, if the mask will be used en masse, it will be effective. 
  • Wet cleaning of the premises every day. 
  • Airing premises several times a day.

Personal:


  • Do not panic.
  • Frequently wash hands with soap and water. 
  • Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth unwashed hands. 
  • Avoid hugs, kisses and handshakes.
    Cover nose and mouth when sneezing or coughing disposable nasal tissue, which immediately after use should be discarded.
  • At the first sign of disease (fever, dry cough), seek medical advice. But, unfortunately, the doctor can not diagnose yourself swine flu. Although the presence of viral infection is now possible to define a special rapid tests, if available, of course.   

 Consumer prevention, folk: 

  • Periodically rinse your mouth with salty water.
  • Increase availability of food products having in their composition antioxidants: green tea, fruit, fruit juice, this red grape wine. 
  • Drink warm water with the juice squeezed from the lemon. 
  • Vitamin C is taken, if it has a zinc, needed for its assimilation.
  • Using food garlic, onions and lemons, for prevention, no one has repealed. 
  • Smear nasal sinus oxolinic ointment, especially coming out of the house. 
  • If there are no special medicines, then you can drink for the prevention of antiviral drugs such as arbidol or amizon. Naturally, according to the instructions of dosages for prevention of their use, and if you have no contraindications and you do not accept the parallel incompatible drugs. It is better to consult a doctor, on this occasion. I can not say anything here. 
  • Immunization. They should do a few weeks before the predicted epidemic. All risks associated with this, you need to understand ourselves.

Finally repeat that all say there need to start on time, professional treatment. Do not tighten, even if you think that this is an ordinary flu.
