A few members of Yahoo's Community are actively making suggestions in Yahoo's Help Forums to not only lower Java's "default" security level from High to Medium, I found that suggestion itself wreck-less in that it increases that computers vulnerability. Then there's another "Valued" member of the community in those forums that not only suggested lowering Java's security level, but also suggested making a "backdoor" exception in Java. I made numerous posts in the forums indicating that not only is it wrong to lower Java's security levels, but it was even more dangerous to enter a backdoor exception into Java. In turn Yahoo CLOSED my posts that offered a far safer alternative that works. I am asking those few members that KNOW computer security as opposed to those that "think" they know to weigh in on this post. The suggestion that "valued" member made is at this link: http://help.yahoo.com/communities/index?page=forum...

If anyone KNOWS how to bring this matter to Yahoo Administration attention PLEASE post back. PLEASE- DO NOT REPLY IF YOUR NOT FULLY KNOWLEDGEABLE OF COMPUTER SECURITY.

This solution was tested by me in Yahoo Games "Pool" game. You will understand how to get your specific games to work from reading this. Go to this site: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_blocked.... scroll down to workaround (halfway down the page). Add the following exception to Java 7 update 51 in Java's control panel (Security tab) You can copy these addresses from here- but when you click add in the control panel you have to right click the field and hit Ctrl and v to paste it into that field (right click of mouse didn't work for me to just paste).

http://games.yahoo.com/ (this exeception is a MUST for any Yahoo games to work).

After you enter this exception into Java's Control Panel, try to enter the game you wish to play and it will come up with a security notice listing that while "http://games.yahoo.com"/ has an exception, the following Domain don't (or words to that effect)- MAKE NOTE OF THAT SERVER AS IT MAY BE SPECIFIC TO YOUR GAME OF CHOICE- THEY HAVE TO BE ENTERED INTO JAVA'S EXCEPTIONS (you don't have to list anything after the (dot) com. The servers listed in Pool (these MAY be specific to only the Pool game) are as follows:

http://yog1.games.sp2.yahoo.com/

http://yog2.games.sp2.yahoo.com/

http://yog3.games.sp2.yahoo.com/

http://yog4.games.sp2.yahoo.com/

http://yog5.games.sp2.yahoo.com/

http://yog6.games.sp2.yahoo.com/

http://yog7.games.sp2.yahoo.com/

Keep adding in successive numbers if need be- I seen yog7 popup, but there could be more servers so add 8, 9, etc. ITS NOT ALLOWING WILDCARDS in Javas control panel. Apparently Yahoo uses any number of "domains" to run games. PLEASE REMEMBER this was ONLY tried in the Pool game, servers may differ, but you get the idea how to resolve this issue specific to whichever game you wish to play. You may still get the box popping up in whichever browser your running to allow Java to run, that can't be avoided however. THIS IS A ONE TIME SETUP HURDLE WITH JAVA, ONCE THE EXCEPTIONS ARE MADE- ITS OVER AND DONE WITH. GAME ON PEOPLE!

My central air system "sort" of works, but I actually have to turn up the temp a couple degrees to allow the capacitor to charge enough to start the outside unit. Then once it's running I turn it down a couple degrees to let it run- then repeat the cycle. If I don't go through this then only the indoor blower works. I looked at the diagram and it shows a start capacitor, but the wire color codes don't match up with the exception of 2 out of 3 wires, and it looks like a relay pack resin sealed matchbook sized thing (assuming its a combination relay/capacitor). There's also a 35/5 dual run capacitor that I'm not sure if I should replace just that. I'm hoping someone can tell me they had a good experience with a 3 wire "hard start" kit, or if its a viable option.

Today I was shopping for Internet security software and noticed they are offering Kaspersky Pure internet security software for one year on 3 PCs for free after rebate including free shipping. Does anyone know of any place that offers same type of deals?
