Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Consumer Credit Reporting Companies, are permitted to include your name on lists used by creditors or insurers to make firm offers of credit or insurance. The FCRA also provides you the right to “Opt-Out”, which prevents Consumer Credit Reporting Companies from providing your credit file information for firm offers of credit or insurance that are not initiated by you.
Through this website, you may request to:
* Opt-Out from receiving firm offers for 5 years
* Opt-Out from receiving firm offers permanently
* Opt-In and begin receiving firm offers. This option is for consumers who have previously completed a request to Opt-Out.

SpellBound in Firefox 1.5
SpellBound is an awesome spell check extension for the Firefox web browser. Unfortunately with the release of Firefox 1.5 SpellBound broke. And with the developer now on the Mozilla team and working on integrating the spell checking directly into Firefox 2.0 – the extension appeared to not be getting any kind of update.
Well, I was sick of opening MS Word, or Gmail to run spell checks for blog entries, forum posts, etc, so I thought I would Google the problem, and low and behold I found a forum discussion regarding a development version of SpellBound for Firefox 1.5. And not only does it make the extension compatible, it adds some nice enhancements like immediately underlining misspellings in the browser (yea I know, Mac users already have this in all your apps if you enable it).
Here are the links to the resources you need to install:
Install the Development SpellBound XPI
Install your languages dictionary file (here is the US English file)
Now restart Firefox and enjoy.

Happy 6th Birthday Evan!
Love, Dad
My father-in-laws computer died, windows protection fault any way you boot it.
While this usually translate to backup the data and wipe the drive, rebuild.
My mother-in-law asked me to price a new computer. I showed her a couple that were $299 and she just told dad to get a new one. So this afternoon just before the rain really hit, actually I think we drove just ahead of it, we ran over to MicroCenter and picked up a brand new PC for my dad. Now before the loyal macheads that read my blog/feed go all Wozniak on me a majority of the apps that he uses, bible programs, are PC only. And since his budget was $399 or lower, a mac wasn’t in his future.
His previous computer was as follows:
IBM Aptiva E Series 270
AMD K6-2 400MHz w/ 512K L2 cache & 100 MHz FSB
128MB RAM
8GB HardDrive
32X CD ROM
56K Modem
Originally had Win98 but about 2 years ago I “upgraded” it to WinME
YIKES!
Here are the specs on the new PC:
Compaq Presario SR1810NX
AMD Sempron 3200+ (1.8 GHz)
512MB RAM
100GB HardDrive
CD-RW/DVD ROM
10/100 Ethernet & 56K Modem
ATI Radeon XPress 200 Graphics
USB 2 & Firewire
Windows XP Home Edition
He is excited for me to get it all setup and ready to go.
