I can’t comment on that. I was just told to register my business name because lawyers will just do a fishing exposition and if your name comes up rightly or wrongly they will file a law suit. Almost like dropping a fishing net in the water and whatever it catches, so be it. I also have business insurance to prevent liable suits. Not sure how it would work with ones not in my field. I know there was someone in this area who offered dog day care or walking. She moved around a lot so if someone was not happy with her service, she’d never be found because of almost living out of her van and moving from town to town. Thanks for the feedback.

David,
Your general proposition that we need to look into a business’s reputation is good. However, I think you’re confusing two concepts. When you file a business certificate with a local office, such as a county clerk’s office, you’re only confirming that the business has a real person behind it. the way to protect against personal liability is to form a corporation. If all you’ve filed is a business certificate linking your given name to your business name, you can be sued. The case caption would be something like this: XYZ v. Joe Soap d/b/a Bubbles Enterprises “D/b/a” stands for “doing business as.”

Sarah, When starting my Dog rehabilitation centre years ago. The first thing I was told was to register my business name. Why? Because if you have no registered name, lawyers will just do a search and if your name comes up, whether it is you or not, they can file a suit against you. Then you have to prove it was not you that ripped off a client. It is just a way to cover your rear end from people. I know operating a business with no license is in vogue these days, however, depending on the person wanting to hire someone, having a business name registered adds more credibility to the person operating the business. No name and anyone can claim to be representing or even being you, treat the client unfairly and you could be on the hoof for legal costs.

Hi Richard,
You’re most welcome. My website is currently still under construction as I’ve been 100% focused on clients. I do have a body of work that you’re welcome to look at however. I am not registered as a business, yet, but plan to be within the next few months, hopefully by the end of the year.
For work I’ve done please check out:
My prices are very reasonable and flexible. I’ve never worked with a state agency as DOR of California is not currently contracting, but I look forward to the opportunity.
Hope this is helpful to you and your client, if you have more questions, or would like more info on anything, please do reach out.
Thanks, Sarah

I’d suggest this is confusing the issue. In many jurisdictions, home improvement contractors need to be licensed by a city or state agency. Registration of a business name may also be required. However, not all consultants in every field are subject to these rules.

Re: Specs for a new desktop computer
David Ingram
Hi, the speed of the drives are important just the same for the speed of the ram that you plan to buy. If you go to a place that has systems, make sure that when it comes to the ram, that you get the fastest ram for the system. another thing to think about is do you plan to buy new speakers for your system, if so, make sure that you test them with the screen reader you're using.

I am also going to upgrade our computers very soon,
although in the case of our systems, I will only need to replace the
motherboards and the central processing units (CPU(s)). The type of
motherboards, will depend upon whether I choose the Intel I7 or, the AMD
equivalent. I will probably remove the CD/DVD drives, when I upgrade the
systems, as I recently purchased a USB external CD/DVD drive. The systems in our
home, have the following drive configuration:
2 120 GB SSD drives, and at least 1 HDD drive for
storing data. 1 of the SSD drives is the system drive, which only holds the
operating system and any programs which are currently installed on
them, and nothing else. At present, all the system drives indicate that the
total amount being used on each system drive, is about 40 GB.
the second SSD drive, which is drive F: in all
the systems, holds the following folders, which have been moved from the
system drive to drive F:, Contacts; Documents; Downloads; Favourites; Dropbox;
and the folders used by the preferred email client. In
addition: Music; Pictures; Saved Games; Searches; Videos; can also be
moved to drive f:. Unfortunately, in Windows 10, there does not seem to be a way
of moving: Microsoft Edge Backups; One Drive; or the Public folder; from
the system drive to drive F:. I do not use Microsoft Edge or One Drive, however,
I would have liked to have been able to move the Public folder to drive F:, as I
was able to do in Windows 7. Lastly, drive F: can be used to store the Windows
pagefile.sys file
By moving the abovementioned folders to drive
F, and not using the system drive for storing miscellaneous data, it means
that when I use Image for Windows to create image backups of the system drive, I
do not have to worry about losing up-to-date important data, if I need to
restore an image to the system drive in the future. This would also apply, if I
were to use other imaging software.
The HDD drive, I use to store any other form of data.

I have no idea what is going on visually but it works fine with Jaws. If this is good enough for World Pay – a secure payment service I don’t see why others cannot follow suit. Another accessible method I have seen used with some success is to put in a question where you have to answer a simple question like – what is 2 plus 1. I suppose this might challenge some with permanent or temporary cognitive impairment like recovering stroke victims unfairly so on balance I would still prefer the first method of simply having to check a confirmation.

so you can go to any site that uses the google captcha and it will still bypass the captcha.

captchas
netbat66
with most sites that have a check box to confirm you are not a bot are useing google capchas.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
these will only work if you are signed in to your google account. unless you sign out of google you are connected everywhere all the time. closeing your browser will not sign you out of google either or rebooting the computer.

You're probably right.

For all intents and purposes, once you can no longer tell the difference between a human and a machine -- there arguably isn't a difference. Its' a really interesting time we're living in and for sure, a lot of work needs yet to be done, but that's the way it's heading. :)

Re: PowerMixer stopped working

I think eventuallly (in 10, 20 years or so...) all methods of using CAPTCHAs will be solved by bots implimenting the use of AI, at which point using CAPTCHAs will no longer be effective for those webmasters who use them for curtailing spam.
