I try this for quite some time now - I can reset the password with the OLD_PASSWORD() function - I can see it is different to the other passwords set on other users - BUT - I cannot connect! The error remains the same . Any recent suggestions what I can do? Regards Sabine Hi!

As a proof-of-concept, I’m using a simple dataset in CSV, which works amazingly well. The filters, sorting, and pagination still work with CSV."

I called them over the phone to ask how much it would be to get the front two rotors replaces and new brake pads on my Jeep, and the guy said it would be around $200, but to go ahead and bring it on for a courtesy check. After said check, he presented me with a quote of $2,300. He wanted $300 a PIECE for new rotors. I checked online, the exact same part number and manufacturer, and it was being sold, FACTORY DIRECT to the Tires Plus for $38. He said he wouldn't take the part delivered by the factory because "he didn't trust it". There was a tiny rubber boot missing from my front axle and the store manager said that because it was missing, the entire front end of my Jeep needed replacing. This included both front axles and suspensions, and the entire brake and wheel assembly. Again, extortionate prices. The store manager even came back to me and said "I won't lie to you, your rear brake pads and rotors are just fine, but I'm going to recommend you replace them". Really? I expressed my anger with Tires Plus on twitter, and a customer service representative from the corporate headquarters contacted me. All he offered (after LAUGHING at me for being upset that I was being conned) was for me to go back into the Tires Plus that tried to screw me to talk to the manager. That's it. No apology, no nothing. Since he was being some combative and rude, I asked to speak to his supervisor. He said he was currently driving in the pouring down rain trying to "keep his car on the road " and that his supervisor wasn't available, but that said supervisor would call me the next day to get this resolved. Never called me back. After I tried to reach out to get a hold of this supervisor, was met with more failures. Tires Plus is just a bunch of criminals. The don't do a damn thing for customer service and their employees are extortionate. Never. Going. Back. Tires Plus is just a slew of crooks.

]]> Comment on SSH Tunnels by Dave Rowe http://blog.roweware.com/2010/02/10/ssh-tunnels/comment-page-1/#comment-1471 Dave Rowe Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:10:33 +0000 http://blog.roweware.com/?p=183#comment-1471 Hi - I can't _quite_ tell if this is a spam comment for a personal VPN solution, but I'll reply for others here. A SOCKS proxy does forward traffic over the SSH tunnel, so the traffic is encrypted (via the SSH tunnel), and Java/Flash are still delivered over HTTP so, that traffic will also use the SSH tunnel. Ultimately, yes, a VPN solution is 'better', though I would contend that an SSH tunnel is 'easier'. Regardless, my purpose in using the SSH tunnels isn't to circumvent _others_ firewalls / routers, necessarily, but to also punch a hole in my own, so I can access my local network (at home) from the road without exposing anything except an SSH port, which is quite secure.

When I travel to China I use a personal VPN, to unblock web sites and make sure all my data is securely encrypted out of country. Since the VPN encrypts the network connection I'm not worried about Java and Flash leaking information or my email getting hacked. No, that will not get the job done by itself.
