I don't believe that "all cell companies have domains for eMailing

For example, can you find a domain for Vodafone UK?

Also, how do you know which provider's domain you need to send the 
message to when all you know is the phone number?

Hi,

	If you have an Android device, try Pulse SMShttp://www.pulsesms.com/
	Its web site works well though, in my experience, the app doesn't.
	I know of no way to do this from the iPhone or another phone type,

unfortunately. Obviously, if you want to do this from a number otherthan
that of your phone, that is, if you don't care about your SMS 
appearing from, and replies to those messages going to, a number 
different from your own phone number, you can use any of the VOIP 
services. See, just for accessible examples

Hm, that did not work.

The mailing list has completely erased the email I quoted to show you what I 
see (possibly in an attempt to avoid excessive footers building up in a 
conversation thread).

However, I never see a "Reply to Sender" link in the body or footer of an 
email - that's something I would do with my email client, which knows who sent 
the email, but in the perfectly normal way, nothing to do with the mailing 
list server.

Hello again,

Just one more try with Audacity,

I have tried this on two different computers with two different soundcards and two different versions of Audacity.

As before, go into Preferences,

choose Devices in the list and tab once, this is the list of hosts, instead of MME or WA sappie, choose Windows direct sound,

tab twice and choose, Primary sound capture driber,

tab to OK and press enter.

The items may be called something slightly different with a different soundcard, but it all works, I recorded something from the internet.

If you want to use a microphone, and these settings then you need to set this in the soundcard and make the speakers listen to the microphone, but that’s a different ball game and I don’t think it is what is needed in this case.

Have fun.

Best Regards, Jim.

It would be useful if someone with the Soundblaster card tried Loop Back using Virtual Recorder. I don't know technically if this could be the case but I wonder If Audacity doesn't work with some sound cards for Loop Back and Virtual recorder does.

The soundcard installed will make a difference, on another computer I have a Creative labs Soundblaster and this will not work with loop back.

I have the usual real tech card on my Windows ten machine and this has the stereo mix, this works and so does the WA sappie and speakers loop back method.

I also have the latest Audacity.

Can you give one example of some risk which exists with the Python console 
which does not already exist in the command prompt, without giving details of 
how to actually do some damage?

I simply don't believe that the fact you can type Python commands is any more 
dangerous than what you can do already in the command prompt window.

I also believe that anyone who says "this system is insecure" without giving 
any evidence to back up that claim is scare-mongering.

That may be your experience. it isn't the problem in the majority of cases.

I have had that happen on a few boards, and mostly its the board.

A large note on this is if you have a wireless board or mouse, I have
had windows do a lot of strange things with the boards, them not working
or windows thinking keys are pressed and other crazyness.

Usually the battery lights are on or something, sadly the effected
users never have the batteries.

And usually this issue happens at night, meaning all the stores are shut.

I have it so people have batteries in stock, else I need to order online
and get the morning delivery.

The most simple and likely way to address a problem should be tried first. This isn't it. it is far more likely to be the problem of Windows thinking a key is stuck than that, suddenly, a physical problem will develop.

Hmmm firstly remove your keyboard, and put another one in, could be a
dirty keyboard.

Now some keyboards can be cleaned but if its got a problem you may have
to replace it.

Some keyboards like my gaming board can get issues, and I just do a
reflash of the firmware and it works again.

You may have a virus but that could be more than a key, a program or
addon may need updating.

Your windows computer may need to be reformatted because windows is
breaking and a good reformat will stop it being broken, note, windows
will still break from time to time forcing you to reformat to get it
working but don't try to fix it, the real errors are hard for me to fix,.

Oh I've had it with wired keyboards, and its not obviously the keyboard, as so many have been used it cannot always be that.

What is the risk?

What can a non-admin user do with the Python console that they can't do, for 
example, through the command prompt?

Hi,

In productions environments, the Python console should not be enabled.
It's highly a security risk!
Just in Alpha and Beta versions the function should be it enabled by

Often though either a restart of nvda or a complete system restart is needed as it gets confused somewhere. Probably so many routines looking at keys, one of them tends to get stuck.

I've had that happen with the modifier keys like control and alt more
often.  When that happens, I usually just press the affected key a few
times quickly to "unstick" it (it probably isn't physically stuck, it's
just Windows thinks you're holding it down).
