My wife is not very computer-savvy, so what I was looking for was an app that would autorun and scan any files being transferred to/from the memory stick. The idea being to protect the memory stick and/or the host computer, particularly where the drive is used on an unprotected machine.
There are portable AV apps available out there, but they rely on manual scanning, and are mainly intended for cleaning infected machines from the flash drive, rather than protecting the flash drive from an infected machine or vice versa.
AV software vendors, how about bundling a portable “inoculation” app along these lines with your workstation products? http://amplify.com/u/a1jdyn

Anyone who thinks deeply about the role of Judaism (or any form of religion, for that matter) in modern life would realise that the length of our services is a real issue. Services are, quite simply, too long and High Holy Day services are excessively so.
While I’m starting to understand the logic of the internal structure of services, to the outsider the material must appear quite repetitious.
Let’s hope we won’t have to wait until the next siddur is published before this issue is confronted!

Come on guys, get real! We’re talking about 50% of the human race here. Our mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, girlfriends and mistresses. Those we share our beds with, who raise our children. Caregivers and life partners.
Why on earth would you discriminate against those closest to you?! http://amplify.com/u/a1cklw

A very effective and convincing presentation, but here’s a few other perspectives on the issues:
Is it possible that the best way for Israel to gain secure and defensible borders is through making peace with all its neighbours, including the Palestinians?
I would love to see an Israel that encompasses the entire Eretz Israel west of the Jordan, but what about the several millions of non-Jewish inhabitants of these territories? Do we expel them (or worse)? Give them Israeli citizenship, and watch Israel disappear as a Jewish state? Keep them under occupation, and watch Israel become a true Apartheid state?
Immediately after the Six-Day War, it was clearly understood by all that changes to Israel’s borders would need to be made, for sound strategic reasons. In the 45 years that have elapsed since then however, the picture has been completely muddied and obscured by all the pseudo-Halachic BS around the Land of Israel and the public relations disaster that is “The Settlements”. We wanted it all, we failed to explain clearly and categorically what our red lines were, and as a result we will end up with nothing. The so-called Settlement Blocs are useless to Israel strategically, and will now only be gained by means of “land swaps”, something that was never contemplated back then.
A strong IDF – without the morally debilitating occupation – and peace with all her neighbours are Israel’s only hope for survival as a flourishing Jewish and democratic state. The outlines of Israel’s alternative are already clear to those with vision. A grim garrison state, ruled by bearded, black-garbed madmen who refuse to work or bear arms, until it eventually falls to the sword of Islam.
Time is not on our side, and Israel today is led by a pompous windbag who has just rejected the notion of a two-state solution within Israel’s existing borders, the very thing that we begged for after 1948 and 1967. Another opportunity is slipping away…

“Cape: SAUJS Cape Town hosted a very successful Shabbat dinner at which ANC Youth League President Julius Malema spoke. Mr Jacobson and Mr King attended on behalf of the Cape Council.“
What value could this dangerous, racist buffoon add to a Shabbat dinner? Have our young leaders totally lost the plot?

Jewish tribal loyalty and the Jewish conscience
I find myself agreeing with just about everything that Donniel Hartman writes. Support for Israel has somehow become a divisive issue for Jews. On the one hand, Jewish tribal loyalty seems to demand almost unquestioning support for Israel. On the other hand, though, the Jewish conscience and our experience with oppression is telling us that all is not well, and that Jewish governments can and do make some morally questionable choices (like the settlements in the West Bank). Those who question these decisions made by flawed mortals should not be seen as outside the pale. Loyalty must be balanced with conscience and reason.

Microsoft Office Live Add-In
Administrators/Users should probably be advised to uninstall the Microsoft Office Live Add-In to prevent confusion and conflicts with the MS cloud “solution”.

Thank goodness Google has come to the rescue with this general release of Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office, just weeks before the clowns in Redmond pull the plug on the much-loved and incredibly useful Live Mesh beta, while ensuring that Windows Live Mesh does not and will not support Windows XP. Way to go, Google. You too Redmond. Both doing what you do best…
