hacker alert
snagged from halfrek2. thanks for the info.
GMail users: Attention
Apparently, some jackass is set to release some sort of Gmail account autohack tool. Since Gmail isn't secure every second you're online unless you tell it to be, this could cause problems, especially for folks who log in over unsecured public wireless networks.
This is easily rectified if you click your "Settings" tab, scroll down to where it says "Browser Connection", and tell it to always use https. And save your changes. It'll slow down your connection a little, but yeahsowhatev.
figured this would be helpful to those on my flist with Gmail. sorry for the double for those who saw it from hallie.
