    - Store more character in "Pay to" field in the transaction entry window How do you increase the "Pay to" field ? It is too small to enter the shop and the city name. I can only enter 32 characters. I don't understand why the "Pay to" field in the transaction input window is so large !! all this space is lost since only 32 characters can be entered.

    - Yet Another "update in progress" download problem. This started for me around the middle of January. Online updates have been working fine for me for years. I am presently using Money Deluxe 2006. I have tried a bunch of things in the other posts, such as putting in some trusted URL's, disabling firewalls etc. but none seem to get me working. I tried turning off online services for an account but then can't log back in. The one thing I have noticed is that if I create a new account, I can get online for the initial query, thereafter I get the "update in progress". Ditto when I upgraded to Money Deluxe 2007. Right now I am back to 2006. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219283

    - Income Edits to Budget 2007 When I add income items into Money 2007 budget, there are no selections for quarterly or annual items in the drop down menu.

    - Negative Cash Transaction Account Balance in 401k account Hi, I have a 401k investment account from a former employer,setup in Money 2006 DLX as a retirement account, tracking cash transactions. Though I no longer make contributions to it, I've left the Employee matching box checked. I used the Add Shares tranactions to initailly create the account to add the current investment balances for each individual fund position. I periodically download the dividend or other transactions from my Fidelity site to update the account. I haven't reconciled in a while but the account was in balance last time I checked. I don't remember what I did to get it all balanced, The transaction activity types in the investment accounts are a mix of Buy, Sell, Reinvest Interest & Reivest Dividends. The cash account shows Dividends and Exchange In/Out transactions. The Cash account Balance was zero at this point. With my last download the transactions came in as buy transactions increasing the investment account to the correct balances (share units ageed to my statements) with a corresponding negative buy(?) transaction in the cash account, leaving me with negative balance for the sum of the last downloaded transactions. I changed the trans. type of the newly downloaded items in the investment account to Reinvest Dividends which automatically deleted the original corresponding negative buy transactions in the cash account leaving the cash account with a zero balance again as it should be, and all is well. Is this the best way to track this account? I want to include it in Planning and Tax functions. Is there a better set up so I don't have to manually change the buys to reinvest?

    - MS Money 2006 frustrations (reports and dloading bank information) So I've just recently installed the full retail version of MSMoney 2006 premium that's been sitting on my shelf for a year and I have a few problems that appear so basic in nature that I wonder if everyone else is having the same problems (and if so, why in the world would anyone actually use this product). OK, issue #1: MS Money provides this real nifty 'Spending by Category' report on the home page. Any CREDITS to any of the categories don't show. Example #1: I purchased a product, charged it to my credit card, then returned it a few days later. The report shows my SPENDING the money, but doesn't account for the credit for the return EVEN THOUGH the credit shows in the credit card ledger and both the purchase and the return are posted to the same spending category. Example #2: I was recently overcharged for a hotel stay out of town. The front desk at the hotel corrected the problem right there at the front desk. Since they had already overcharged my credit card before the billing error was detected, they simply issued a credit for the difference. Simple. The report in MS Money ONLY shows the (over)charge and NOT the corresponding credit even though both entries appear on the same credit card ledger, same date, same category (one a charge, one a credit). Example #3: I use the "Credit Card Payments/Transfers" category for all on-line credit card payments. Each time I make a payment, a charge(debit) for that payment appears in my checking account ledger and a credit appears in the credit card ledger (just as it should). Both these entries are posted to the same "Credit Card Payments/Transfers" category. The report ONLY shows the charge hitting my checking account and NOT the credits appearing in the credit card ledger. This seems to me like a real basic problem that would negatively affect every single MS Money user out there. Am I totally missing the boat here? For the life of me, I can't imagine a product being THAT bad. Problem #2: Anyone else out there use Washington Mutual for their checking accounts? Can you download trasactions reliably into MSMoney? Lord knows I can't. I'm trying to download transactions into MSMoney directly FROM MSMoney's synchronize 'feature'. It works for all my credit cards (100%), and works very rarely for my WAMU accounts. Sometimes I have to go into account settings and re-enter my passwords and it will work (once or twice). Usually it just doesn't work. If it NEVER worked, I'd say I'm doing something wrong. But it works about 20% of the time, so I'm reasonably assured that it's configured correctly. When it won't synchronize, I go to the www.wamu.com website and log-in just to make sure that the WAMU site is indeed working. Same conclusions as above here, Am I missing something here. Or is the product really THAT bad? Any input would be most appreciated. Dean Waters Vancouver, Washington Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219274

    - Controlling a category in a report I have been using M2006 for a year and an bit and have the following question. I want to be able to control the inclusion or exclusion of a category in a report from the category itself. I realize I can customize a report, but if I have a category that I do not want in any reports it would be easier to just exclude it. Meaning it would be excluded from all reports unless I specifically customized a report to include it. Ying and yang so to speak. Basically, I want to control the reporting characteristics of the category from within the category and not from within the report. Sounds like a simple thing to do. Any ideas would be appreciated. -- Thanks from Canada Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219269

    - Can anyone tell me if i can change this start and end date? get paid by my employer on the 20th of each month. Therefore, I would like my monthly budget to start on the 20th of each month and end on the 20th of the next month. I have a budget setup in Money 2006, but it automatically sets the month to start on the first day of the month and end on the last. Can anyone tell me if i can change this start and end date? If not, how do you get around this problem? I would appreciate any help. Thanx Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219260

    - Submit Electronic Payment Strangeness I saved an electronic bill payment as a draft scheduled payment. Later I went to Bills Summary, "Electronic transactions ready to send", checked this payment and clicked Submit. Submit succeeded, but... 1. The scheduled payment is still showing in the "ready to send" list. 2. The payment is not in the "Electronic payments...sent in the last 60 days" list. 3. Clicking the refresh button doesn't help. 4. If I click the "find it" link in "If you don't see a transaction that you think you've made..." the payment submission DOES show up there. Is this behavior by design?? Seems strange to me. BTW, I'm running Microsoft Money 2007 Deluxe version 16.0.120.1303 Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219257

    - A little good will toward your fellow man (or woman) will yield POSITIVE RESULTS! How to make REAL MONEY using only Pay-pal and your e-mail account!! Even Oprah did a segment on it!! Get Your PAYPAL CASH Gift Today! Believe it or not, this thing really works, but if you do believe it and are willing to think outside the box you will BEGIN TO REALIZE that this is a great way to make money using pay-pal. With just $5, a Pay-pal account and 45 minutes you could make a substantial chunk of money in 2 SIMPLE STEPS! The only things you will need are: * An email address * A Premier or Business PayPal account with at least $5 deposited in it * 45 minutes of your time ONLY 2 SIMPLE AND EASY STEPS! . TRUE STORY --> June Alscar tells how she ran this gifting summation four times last year. The first time, she received $6,000+ in cash in two weeks and then $14,000+ in cash the next three times. When this program is continued, as it should be, EVERYONE PROFITS!! The only thing limiting YOUR income from this virtually risk-free program is YOU. THIS CAN AND WILL WORK FOR YOU! HERE ARE THE DETAILS: Post this letter in as many message boards, chat rooms, or newsgroups as you can. A good number to shoot for is between 50 and 100, although I personally did twice that amount. You don't need to post to 200, but realize that the more exposure your post gets, the more money is going to be sent to your pay-pal account. It is simple and takes almost nothing in way of an investment! This program WILL PAY FASTER before similar programs even trickle in! Just give one person $5. THAT'S IT! Follow the simple instructions and in two weeks, you should have $1,000 or more because most PEOPLE WILL RESPOND due to the LOW ONE TIME INVESTMENT, SPEED AND HIGH PROFIT POTENTIAL. So let's all keep it going and help each other out. We all owe money to bill collectors, and creditors (I know I do, my phone rings so often my neighbors get mad). But, with this, if people take the time to help each other, the good fortune will follow. SO, Take the measly minutes this SIMPLE and REWARDING program offers and give the gift that gives back TODAY!. Simply send a $5 gift to the person at POSITION #1, if your birthday is BETWEEN JAN 1 THRU JUNE 30, OR, if your birthday is BETWEEN JULY 1 THRU DEC 31, send the gift to the person at POSITION #2. HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. . . STEP 1 Ok, if you're not already a PayPal user, the very first thing you need to do is use the PayPal link below and SIGN UP. It takes just two minutes! Here's the URL: Be sure to use this link so you can sign up for a free PREMIER or BUSINESS account. You'll need to have a PREMIER or BUSINESS account (and not a PERSONAL account) otherwise you won't be able to receive credit card payments from other people. STEP 2 It is an undeniable law of business that we must first give in order to receive. If you want to own your own business, you need start- up capital. If you want a paycheck, you've got to go to work. So the first thing to do when you have your Premier/Business PayPal account is to IMMEDIATELY send a $5 payment from your PayPal account to the email address in the position (1 or 2 - depending on your birthday in the timeline), along with a note saying: "HERE IS A $5 GIFT FOR YOU." Be certain to add this note, as the "gift" aspect is what KEEPS THIS PROGRAM LEGAL. Instructions on how to send a payment are under "SEND MONEY" at the Paypal Site. It's so Easy!! When you send your $5 payment to either address in the list, do it with a great big smile on your face because "as you sow, so shall you reap!" After you have transferred a $5 payment to the email address, something very eerie happens. It gives you an indescribable, overwhelming sense of certainty, belief and conviction in the system. You've just proved to yourself that, because you have done it, there must be a great number of other people ready to do exactly the same. Thus you have now seen for yourself, BY DOING, that this is an opportunity and not a risk! STEP 3 REMOVE the email address you are replacing (the one you sent $5 to), and REPLACE it with your own email address. REMEMBER: Use the same EMAIL ADDRESS that is used with YOUR Paypal account ! ! Paste your newly typed email address over the old one and then post to 50 Message Boards, Chat Rooms, or Newsgroups. DON'T MULL OVER IT, JUST 45 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME, THAT'S IT, THERE IS NO MORE TO DO!! ACT FAST AND GET THE GIFT. HONESTY AND INTEGRITY MAKE THIS PLAN WORK!! DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU! POSITION..1 ---) artbytheo@hotmail.com POSITION..2 ---) thenext@rock.com YOUR NAME COULD CYCLE FOR A LONG TIME! THIS MAKES IT THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. This is excellent seed money to start or expand a business, buy your dream home/car or pay off whatever bills you may have. Good luck and God Bless. Play fairly and good fortune will follow. WHY THIS PROGRAM WORKS: Straight to the point, the reason this program is SO SUCCESSFUL is because with this in 50 different message boards, there are only TWO outcomes (1) A person's birthday will fall on the same half as yours and YOU GET $5.00 OR (2) A person's birthday will fall on the other half of the timeline, therefore, YOU STAY IN YOUR POSITION for someone else to send you $5.00 in 50 MORE message boards that the new guy will post too. Now, you're address is on not 50, but 100 DIFFERENT MESSAGE BOARDS. Other participants will essentially be posting for you and themselves at the same time! HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS? Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Log on any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com, etc., then search with the subject "millionaire message board; or; money making message board; or; employment message board; or making discussions; or ''money making forum; or; business message board; etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards. Click on them one by one and you will find the option 'post a new message'. Then Post this article as a 'new message' by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting copy then paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, then click the post message button. You're done with your first one! It only takes about 60 seconds to complete postings on message boards after you get the hang of it. REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! You may still be skeptical even after reading this, but ask yourself this question: Isn't it worth $5.00 to BE SURE? You probably spend $5.00 every day on things you really don't need. A drink at the bar, the junk food calling your name in line at the supermarket, or that last movie you rented that just plain sucked! Listen, any doubts you may currently have will disappear within a few days of putting this plan into practice when you start to seeing a return. You certainly won't regret it. Enjoy!

    - Partial Voiding of Invoice How can I partially void an invoice, or add a negative sum to an invoice. Here's the situation. You create an invoice and send to the client. The client sends a lesser amount, for whatever reason: they dispute the charge, they pay a little and then go out of business, they had already paid a sum earlier, a sort of down payment on the work, and so on. So, how do I deal with that now! I have a partially paid invoice...what do I do with it? I can't enter a negative amount in there, as far as I can see, and I can't see any other way to deal with it. Thanks for any help you can provide! Peter Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219253

    - Ability to categorize transfer in budget Currently in the budget you are not able to categorize planned transfers in and out of budget account. It lumps all of them into one category. These should be categorized just like any other expense/income. Specifically related to extra principle payments on a morgage. These are clasified in the same group as transfers out of budget and there is not an accurate representation of the transfers in reporting. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Cannot log into Money 2005? I've been using Money 2005 Deluxe for a few years now and haven't experienced any major problems until now. As everyone knows, you cannot do any online banking, regardless of whether you use Microsoft's bill payment service, your banks, or whatever, without having a Passport account and signing in. Well, I can no longer sign in. I can only log into my file by signing in offline. This just started this morning. Upon attempting to sign in I almost immediately get an error that says "Your sign-in information could not be verified. Go online or select the Work offline check box, and then reenter your sign-in information." This allows me to access my accounts and enter checks and look at balances but I can't update my information or pay bills online which is how I pay 80% of my bills. This is a major issue for me currently and I have no idea what has caused it or how to fix it. My Internet access is up. I can check email and surf the web with no problems whatsoever. Money is the only application having any problems. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this or have any idea how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

    - Money 2007 Won't Install on Windows 2000?? What's the story, Microsoft? Hard to believe that Money 2007 won't install on Windows 2000! 2000 is still supported by Microsoft, yet their new Money version rejects it. I'm not buying XP, just to run Money. 2000 works fine for me on several machines for all of my computing needs. I'm going to run Money 2006, and start testing a move to Quicken. Open source or Linux money software still has a way to go, so that's out. If not, I'd probably be gone from Money, and Windows as well! I can't imagine what feature that XP has relative to 2000 that is so critical as to make Microsoft abandon a significant part of the Money user base. Then again, responsiveness to customer need has never been a big part of Money support. Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219204

    - Amortizing Mortgage Incorrectly Hello, Money 2005. I have a mortgage entered in Money which is about two years old. Somewhere along the way (mid 2006), it began to amortize incorrectly. When I check my monthly statement from the mortgage company, the principal and interest allocations were different. I went back with my statements and started to manually reallocate the payments. The first was off by some amount I cant remember (not more than $.50 or so). When I adjusted the first one, I received the following message: In the [Mortgage Company Name] loan account, there are loan payments following the one you are changing. Do you want Money to recalculate the principal and interest distribution for these payments? I told it Yes thinking that it would begin amortizing correctly. It did not work. The next month I opened was off by $.01. To correct, I had to add $.01 to the principal and subtract the same from the interest. Again, I received the message, and again said yes. I then opened the following payments, all of which were off by the $.01. I manually adjusted each time, and chose yes when I received the message. Obviously there is something wrong with the way its amortizing. I know it probably seems trivial to worry about the one cent, but I would just like it to be accurate. Any ideas on how I can make it work correctly from here on out? I appreciate the help. Chris Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219170

    - Money 2007: how to set up a 401k account First let me say that as a newbie i have learnt so much about money though this group. I have managed to set up my main credit card, checking and CD accounts for which I do an automatic download. But I'm not sure how to set up a 401k account and do that automatic download. I tried it via Banking but it seems that Charles Schwab retirment services don't offer automatic download. There manual download doesn't work either. So how can can set up a 401K account in which I can enter transactions manually? I tried other accounts but it asked me to set up investments which I'm not sure is the right way. Also how do I link this account such that my paycheck withdrwal automatically get reflected there based on the % I have set for different investments? Totally lost here.. Thanks!

Some time ago there were press reports of an Army intelligence person called Jones who claimed Diana and Hewitt had been photographed in a compromising position... he said he'd been doing this as part of an Army unit which had previously operated in Northern Ireland. Then Hewitt said he'd been told the same thing by some Army people, and that they were threatening to release the tapes unless they curtailed their liaison... as per usual everyone denied everything, painted Jones as the "Jones twins" - not very original in how they deal with their perceived enemies, are they? You have to wonder how they manage to achieve this sort of surveillance though. Audio you can understand, it's possible to put a microphone through the wall, and apparently there exist devices which will retrieve sound from a laser beam bounced off a window - sounds sci-fi, but there's a well known surveillance electronics company in London which sells these things. But how would you get video out of a room, unless you had actual physical access in order to plant a device for pickup? We're not talking about looking in from afar, but an actual device within the room. You could either drill through the wall and shove a pickup through; or you could supply a trojan device with a hidden pickup inside; but most likely, you would have to physically break into your target room to plant a camera. That's not an infeasible option; all it means is having your target(s) watched to make sure they're not in the vicinity, then you negotiate any locks on the property and find a suitable receptacle for your device. The next question is how they defeat the usual methods of counter- surveillance. We had private detectives carry out a "sweep" of every room and the telephone line. They found nothing. That indicates at least four possibilities that I can think of; (this is all guesswork BTW, and probably fanciful guesswork at that!) 1) no bugs (pull the other one) 2) radio-transmitting devices which can be controlled from an external source, ie you can instruct them to switch off when you detect a counter-surveillance sweep taking place 3) hard-wired devices; probe microphones or whatever they're called, things you poke through the wall 4) passive surveillance devices; so you bounce laser or radio waves off a suitable reflecting surface (again, sounds far-fetched but such things may apparently exist). 5) there is a fifth possibility, that the PI's didn't detect an actual transmitting device; there are technologies specifically designed to avoid detection, eg frequency hopping and suchlike. But how much sophistication could you build in to a device which would have to be small enough to be physically concealable? I guess the real question is to find out who is ultimately behind these "goings on". And if the "great and good" (or the better known, at any rate) can't protect themselves, what hope is there for the rest of us? 6123 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219125

    - MI5 Persecution: Let it go 1/8/95 (4313) From: speedc@cs.man.ac.uk (C Speed) Newsgroups: uk.misc Date: Tue Aug 1 10:23:46 1995 >OK, so instead of my posting the same tedious stuff every day, >why don't you actually read the contents, and make a meaningful >reply?

I seem to recall that last time this was being discussed someone asked if you had been to see a psychiatrist about this - after all if this is really happening then you have can only benefit from being given a clean bill of health.

So you are no longer in the uk? And this is not happening anymore? Then let it go. Just leave it alone and get on with your life. Its just not worth it.

I certainly have at least. Way back when you >originally started posting and your posts were neither tediously repetitve >nor stupidly long. Once again we're running into a brick wall. The reason I started posting was because I couldn't figure out a way out of the situation, and thought that saying it out into the open would provide a catalyst for one of those "in the know" (there are plenty in this category, and it's a fair bet that some of them are reading this) to speak up. It hasn't worked, yet. A little more aggressive shit-stirring (excuse expletive) might do the trick. Perhaps Usenet posting is the wrong arena for this sort of activity; although obviously it does have the advantage of rapid feedback. Thing is, for people to open up, you would have to provide them with a reason why it would be in their interest to do so. There's no obvious way of doing that; to get thinking people to incriminate themselves when they're safe in denying all knowledge is not a trick I can figure out how to do. >But whenever anyone makes any good suggestions you ignore them and start >posting from the begining again. You don't want us to help you - so what do >you want? If you really wanted help you would listen to peoples suggestions >and respond to them.

How can they possibly help you when your only evidence >is a jumbled mess of TV presenters saying things that could be construed as >answers to your comments and the 'feeling' that people are talking about you >and watching you? Because, as said previously, concrete proof does not exist. If it existed then I wouldn't be talking to you - if it could be proved, or if those doing it could be found, they wouldn't be able to continue. What's happened is all conversation. You can't prove conversation, not without a tape recorder, and even then you would have to prove that what they meant corresponded to what you understood. The psychopath who manages the Applics group at my previous employers played little word games, not only with me but with at least one other person in the group; words which rhyme with swear words, words which are ambiguous, eg "bent", words which rhyme with wank, "sheet" rhymes with shit, end (how was your weak end? being the standard salutation on a Monday morning). Sounds childish, most people would easily tell him to fuck off; except to people with predisposition to depression and the inability to express themselves (this was before I started taking medication), that sort of nastiness is not bearable. After ten months of this I was so ill I was crying constantly, eventually I went into hospital and started on medication. Somebody else he did this to (over a year later!) got so depressed he took an overdose of pills, had to go on antidepressants and left. And where does the "concrete proof" of this trouble exist? NOWHERE. Even if you had physical evidence, even if you had the presence of mind to record what was said, how could you prove what he actually meant by what he was saying? In some cases of harassment you can prove what was done, because it's undeniable. But when the harassment is done with any presence of mind whatsoever, it becomes difficult. In the case of the wider harassment, the people doing it obviously know what they're about - they must have done similar things to other people before in one form or another, and they know what they can get away with, they know what the police will do nothing about. >I seem to recall that last time this was being discussed someone asked if you >had been to see a psychiatrist about this - after all if this is really >happening then you have can only benefit from being given a clean bill of >health. I don't recall an answer. Yes. The reply was of the "neither confirm nor deny" variety. Not much else they can say, is there? >Well how could they? Who would you sue? The country? Hmmm, now there's a thought... :-) >If this gets out then *that* will be the time to bring your claims to the >foreground. Wrong way round. It won't get out unless I do something to bring that about; remember, it isn't in THEIR interest for THEIR criminality to be exposed. Yelling loudly on Usenet might nudge things along in the right direction. >The only thing ruining your life right now is you, Mike. And the only thing >that will make your life any better now is also you. So go and make your >life better and show them that they failed. Ignoring them would be bliss, but it's not a winning strategy. There are going to be more of these posts. Sorry.

    - MI5 Persecution: Recognition by Strangers is Normal 12/5/95 (2503) From: speedc@cs.man.ac.uk (C Speed) Newsgroups: uk.misc Subject: Re: BBC's Hidden Shame Date: Fri May 12 04:34:26 1995 >Yes, I realize that.

Exactly. All you have offered so far as proof of your harrassment by these people is: 1) Someone on radio said something that you had recently said and 2) People on the streets seem to recognise you. These are both perfectly normal occurences and happen to lots of people every day so it is unsurprising that people here, and the police, are not taking you seriously. Trying to always keep an open mind about things I would say that one of three things is likely. Either there is a lot more to this that you are not telling us, or you are messing about or you have some genuine delusions. I'd like to think that in two of the three cases you would find some real support here, but it seems unlikely I'm afraid.

Hell, it scared me to death when I first >started working in Manchester. People keep talking to me on the streets, >even if its just to say hello, and I've no idea who they are. This happens >to most people, don't worry about it. The key is the pattern, or a change in the pattern. I've lived in London almost all my life, and just walking around the streets, I never got hassled by anybody. All of a sudden, people start harassing you, throwing abuse at you, behaving as if they know you personally, as if they've seen you before somewhere. I read in the papers that this happens to Colin Stagg and people like that Eastenders actress, but they've had their picture in the paperes, so that is understandable. In a couple of cases people have even known my name - when I was in London over Easter I was walking down Shaftesbury avenue in the West End when somebody (no idea who they were, just some bloke with his girlfriend) called me by name - quite clearly, and my name is distinctive. This also happened once about four 1/2 years ago, onn the tube - some blokes I had never seen started chanting my name and a term of abuse. It's the pattern which convinces me there's something to it - and would convince any impartial abserver who could see things tyhrough my eyes. >Doesn't this suggest to you that there are, in fact, no bugs to be found? There's a little story behjjind this. First iof all, in 1992 I worked for a company where the people made clear they knew what was going on, first of all directly (the very first evening I was there I went out to the pub with them and the Technical Directpor said to another guy, "is this the bloke who's been on TV?" "yeah, I think so") and also indirectly, by rep[peating stuff I was saying at home in London and in my rented accomodation there (I moved several times in the course of 1992 and they followed me each time). Now, if "they" (the buggers) knew their bugs could be found easily, they wouldn;'t be keen to make their existence known, would they? Also, in summer 1992 I went on a trip abroad to Europe by coach, and on the way out there were a couple a little younger than myself on the coach a bloke and hius girlfriend. He said things about some bloke who was never named, who sounded exactly like me - and he made explicitly clear that our house was bugged, and that a neighrbours house was bugged (and at work they'd been rep[earting what was said at the neighbours, so this looks like independent corroboration). They also said stuff like "at school he was always really streesed, they found someone from his school and he was a real psycho" and that "he was in a B&B for one night and they got him", dead right again, I had been in B&B for once night a few days before this trip and weatching the news again got a reaction from the newsreader. 2503 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219120

    - MI5 Persecution: Toronto Freenet supports free speech (693) Despite an orchestrated campaign of attempted censorship by UK-resident newsgroup readers, TFN did not bow to demands for a suppression of freedom of speech. TFN general policy on the matter is as follows; Draft Policy on Account Deactivations due to News Group Postings ================================================================ News group postings occasionally take the form of a message which goes against the "topic" of the conference. For example, a derogatory message about Canadians in the soc.culture.canada. Members of such news groups then may send a message to the system administrators asking that a user's account be terminated because of such posting. The Toronto Free-Net Board of Directors has taken the position that the only postings that will get a person's account terminated is material that is illegal under Canadian law. Otherwise, the Toronto Free-Net will not take any action. Freenet Executive Director Mike Anderson had this to say regarding the continued attempts of a minority of usenet participants to have my account on his system deactivated; The TFN's policy is not to take action against members unless they contravene the Criminal Code of Canada, or engage in practices such as forgery, attacks against other computer systems or mailbombing. Mr. Corley, while possibly being very annoying, has not contravened the TFN's policies. The TFN believes strongly in freedom of expression, while recognizing that the price for such freedom may be a high signal-to-noise ratio in Usenet. If Mr. Corley breaks the law, we will take action -- until then, he has the same rights as any TFN member to post to Usenet newsgroups. Actions such as mailbombing the TFN in protest will be met by strong complaints to the originating site's postmaster. The best defense against unwanted postings may be simply be to ignore them and deny the poster an audience. TFN Executive Director Toronto, Ont CANADA Personally, I find it gratifying that my contributions to usenet discussion are recognized as being conducive to a high signal-to-noise ratio by their quality and thoughtfulness. 693 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219108

    - No more prompt "Is this the scheduled bill <bill>?" in 2007 I recently upgraded from 2005 Deluxe to 2007 Premium. I was used to entering transactions in my check register and being prompted with "Is this the scheduled bill such and such?" I would click 'Yes' and then it would disappear out of my upcoming bills. I just noticed that all of my bills are way behind (according to Bills Summary), and when I pay one in the register it does not prompt me anymore. How can I get this functionality back? I would rather do it this way, than going to Bills Summary and paying them there, then going back to my register to enter regular transactions. Thanks in advance. Tag: asset allocation Tag: 219095

    - SP2 UPDATE-DOES IT LOAD? Two or three days ago I got a message when I logged into Money Premium 2007 to upload SP2. I went thru the process and it didn't work. The upload file would not close until I shut down the computer. Same story when I opened Money the next day. Yesterday, I chose "cancel" from the upload prompt and worked with Money as usual. I checked the version and it is still 1024 and not the updated 1303. So my plan is to continue "cancelling" the SP2 upload prompt until I hear that this thing works. I know it's for a Vista problem and I'm still using XP home edition. I am wondering if any of you got this upload to work or if my experience is normal at this time. Any input is appreciated.
