  • Sarah Palin and Security Questions

    I've always looked at security questions used to automate user password recovery with quite a bit of skepticism .

  • Zermatt in Community Server

    I'm about to embark on a mission to get Zermatt integrated into pluralsight.com as our single-sign-on solution, and a big part of that is getting our Community Server installation wired into that. I'm curious if anyone else has seen any work being done in this area, or if I'll be the first...

  • Password Minder 1.5.0.10 Released

    This is a minor update. Here's what was changed (from the readme file): Incorporated a patch from Richard Howells to give you the option to turn on/off the "Always On Top" behavior of the main form. I still recommend not keeping PWM in memory all the time - only run it when you need it...

I posted on their forum about this , and was informed that the authors "haven't had a good enough reason" to fix the problem. So right now, if you want to use NCover in...
