It was basically karaoke for kids, though I question the rationale of a video basically meant to keep your kids occupied for a half hour, but its intent was to get kids singing, quietly and on-key optional.Īnd now, this video, originally released in 1990, has come to my attention yet again. Long before YouTube videos or looking up lyrics online, this was your best shot at learning your favorite Disney songs. As much as I loved my Disney cartoons, I had no real exposure to the parks, except through one particular VHS: a Disney Sing-Along called “Disneyland Fun”.įrom 1986 to 2006, Disney released VHS cassettes and DVDs celebrating their greatest songs in their canon.

A Gmail account is managed only by the individual who owns the account, not an organization’s IT administrator. The account settings of Gmail allow you to display a business email address as the “reply from” address. Many Gmail users like the applications and the anytime/anywhere access so much that they arrange to have their work email forwarded to Gmail this is more common in smaller organizations where email security is more relaxed.

This leads to a necessary change in tactics to make sure that you make every single move and shot count, and planning moves ahead in order to keep your worms from annihilation is, very much, the key to survival. As time goes on, however, not only do the enemy worms become crack shots, but they will vastly outnumber you. The campaigns, as mentioned, climb in difficulty, with a few puzzle levels thrown in for good measure to break up the carnage. Parachutes packed, uzi in hand, it’s time for your team to stop talking about Madonna’s big dick and go to work. And customise you can: gone are the days when your worms’ names were all you picked now you can assign a hat, tombstone, skin tone, victory dance, and one of a variety of bizarre and ridiculous speech sets. Also for sale are extra landscapes, hats, and various bits don’t worry though, the game isn’t trying to stiff the player in withholding content – to be honest, there is so much choice during the customisation stage, that you’ll not be anywhere close to going without. The credit system isn’t really the issue it could have been, as within the first handful of campaigns you’ll have enough to unlock most weapons. Not all of the weapons are available from the off, however, with the good ones (including Armageddon) being locked away in the in-game shop, which need to be purchased using the credits doled out for completing the campaigns. This scuppers the irritating multiplayer strangers who like to use them to box in your worms, but it means that it is harder to construct a nest high up in a landscape nook to teleport into during Sudden Death mode. Also here, are the utilities such as teleports, blowtorches, and girders, though the developers have tweaked the girders from the first console release so that they can only be placed within a reasonable distance. Everything from the console version is present and correct in the Reloaded arms cabinet: from the garden variety bazookas and uzis, to the Holy Hand Grenade, Concrete Donkey, and Buffalo of Lies. When it comes to Worms, half the fun is in how you go about visiting some ultraviolence on your foes, and weaponry has always been the main staple of the series, with fans traditionally getting riled up at favourites being left out, as with the first console release three years ago. This precision reaches a point in later campaigns that leaves the player with little choice than to adopt guerrilla ‘dark side’ tactics in order to pull their team through safely. It is, frankly, beyond aggravating and swiftly threatens to push the player to the point of keyboard destruction. Their grenade skills are just as outlandish, with an innate ability to time and place grenades with the precision of an OCD scrapbooker, and after multiple rebounds to rub salt into the wounds. Sadly, this arse chapping Worms tradition continues here and, while the stupidity has been toned down, enemy Worms appear to possess better dead-eye skills than John Marston, managing to pull off ludicrously difficult bazooka shots against the wind. Famously, the AI in Worms, at least in the early days back on the Amiga, was either terminally stupid or ridiculously accomplished, with barely a middle ground in sight. This is largely due, as series veterans will be all too aware, to the notorious AI. As usual, the earlier campaigns are a cakewalk, with the difficulty ramping up in later levels to, often, frustrating degrees. This being a reboot of Worms 2: Armageddon, which saw a console release in mid 2009, the campaign levels are the same, so fans of the franchise who have soundly spanked that version may feel disappointed, but they are as tricksy as ever and being able to attack them with a keyboard and mouse is most welcome. Carnage, chaos, and scenery-shredding turn based gameplay carries the player through 35 single player campaigns with the added option of local or online multiplayer modes. Your team of pink nutcases has to annihilate the opposing team by whatever means necessary, with the aid of some of the most surreal weaponry this side of a Monty Python arms factory. The premise of Worms is simple and so embedded in gaming culture that even if you haven’t played it, you’ll have likely heard of it. Returning to its spiritual home after an extended flirtation with consoles and handhelds, Worms Reloaded is essentially the same game as Worms 2: Armageddon, with a handful of PC friendly extras thrown into the mix. No, it isn’t the Ron Jeremy appreciation society – everyone’s favourite homicidal annelids are back in the first 2D Worms release to hit the PC for close to ten years. They’re pink, hard, and will unload in your face.

You won't ever see any of this exposed in the program, but it's important to note this, since it's an unusual model that's different from the researcher-reliant models of Webroot competitors. Webroot's goal is to automate the entire process, and keep its researchers from having to analyse samples. The cloud then determines if it's safe or not. If the file is suspicious, the sample gets sandboxed and tested behaviourally, and a description of the behaviour is sent to the cloud. If the file is recognised as being safe, the cloud tells SecureAnywhere to allow it to proceed. SecureAnywhere takes a file, creates a unique identifying number for it called a hash and sends that to the cloud. Webroot claims it has the world's largest database of malware. Thanks to its Prevx core, though, Webroot has been able to make some interesting innovations. Again, this is not news in and of itself, as most security suites have already been moving to at least a partially cloud-based model. Threat detection comes courtesy of a cloud-based system. The important thing is that it's not underpowered when judged against the high-end, premium-level competition. SecureAnywhere Complete offers a competitive range of features, although nothing stands out as remarkable. Of course, figuring out those features can be another story. ![]() The uniformity of design and judicious use of white space render simple the otherwise challenging task of navigating through the dozens of options. ![]() The Reports tab lets you dive into your security history, and the "Submit a file" tab is for sending questionable files to Webroot for security verification.

System Tools looks like the PC Security window, with a four-tab spread. The PC Security tab contains four horizontal tabs for Scans, Shields, Firewall and Quarantine, while the Identity and Privacy tab contains two tabs: one for the Identity Shield that looks for websites with phishing threats, blocks sites from creating high-risk tracking information and looks at DNS/IP information to protect you against man-in-the-middle attacks the other focuses on Password Management, powered by LastPass but baked into Webroot.īackup and Sync requires you to download an additional module. You can also start a scan from the Overview tab. If you're in the red zone, a button appears that will attempt to fix what ails you with one click. The Overview window presents your security status as a large icon, green when you're safe and red when you're not. At the bottom are simple text links to My Account, Settings and Help and Support. The interface contains a left nav divided into five button-size tabs: Overview, PC Security, Identity and Privacy, Backup and Sync and System Tools. Meanwhile, large buttons and sliders make changing settings simple. This makes it easy to differentiate all of the choices you have. SecureAnywhere does an admirable job of this arduous task, presenting the result in a colour scheme of brushed metal with green highlights. The key struggle for any security suite is that it must cram a vast range of features, options and menus into a single window. This first scan doesn't hang around long, completing for us in two minutes, 14 seconds in SecureAnywhere Complete, and in less than a minute in SecureAnywhere AntiVirus. Also, when you install, the suite instantly begins a scan. If you click on "Change installation options" from the bottom of the installer window, for example, you can randomise the installation file names to circumvent certain types of infections that would look for names that are more obvious. The program's useful security features begin with the installer. ![]() ![]() ![]() This multi-tool is larger than the Skeletool CX, but the additional tools-especially the whistle, fire-starter rod, and blade sharpener-are so nicely integrated into the design that it’s surprising how little bulk they add. In addition to the knife, pliers, bottle opener, and screwdriver, there’s a whistle, fire-starter rod, knife sharpener, saw, and awl. Where the Signal differs is in the added emphasis on outdoor-oriented tools. At its core, the Signal shares many characteristics with the Skeletool CX: a stripped-down tool selection, the asymmetrical handles, and the carabiner-clip bottle-opener feature. If you’re someone who spends a lot of time outside, or if you simply want to up your emergency-preparedness game, we also like the Leatherman Signal. ![]() ![]() Although it has more weight to it, we never found it unwieldy or awkward to carry.Ĭlosed dimensions: 4 by 1½ by ⅝ inches Weight: 7½ ounces Blade length: 2⅝ inches Tools included: needle-nose pliers, wire cutter, electrical crimper, wire stripper, knife, scissors, package opener, awl, can opener, bottle opener, wood/metal file, Phillips screwdriver, medium flat screwdriver, small flat screwdriver, extra-small flat screwdriver, pry tool, ruler The Free P2 is over 2½ ounces heavier than the Skeletool CX, but it has a slender, streamlined design and comes with a pocket clip. After we tested the Free P2 for several weeks, other full-size multi-tools, such as the classic Leatherman Wave+, started to feel clunky and laborious to open. You can even deploy the pliers one-handed, with just a flip of the wrist. With its handles closed, you can access and open all of the tools with a single hand, a unique feature in the world of multi-tools. The Free P2, released in 2019, is an entirely new design for Leatherman. If you are seeking a larger multi-tool, yet one that is extremely easy to use, we recommend the Leatherman Free P2. But this model is so sturdily built, we’d be surprised if you needed to use the warranty other Leathermans we’ve owned and used for over a decade have held up perfectly.Ĭlosed dimensions: 4⅛ by 1¼ by ½ inches Weight: 5.2 ounces Blade length: 2⅝ inches Tools included: needle-nose pliers, wire cutter, bottle opener, Phillips screwdriver (2), flat screwdriver (2), carabiner clip And the Skeletool is backed by a 25-year warranty. This multi-tool’s two Phillips and two flathead screwdrivers capably handle the most common screws. ![]() The CX’s pliers unfold easily, have the precision to pull a small splinter, and are comfortable to hold, thanks to the asymmetric handle. It can also clip onto a belt or backpack with either a pocket clip or a carabiner (which can double as an easy-access bottle opener). Other multi-tools are so bulky that they need to be carried in a belt sheath, but the lighter 1, slimmer Skeletool fits comfortably in a pocket. And its high-quality, 154CM blade steel holds an edge longer than most multi-tool blades. Its knife deploys and locks smoothly with one hand-without your having to first open up the pliers. Of all the multi-tools we tried, the Skeletool CX is the one we kept reaching for long after testing concluded, and it’s the one we still carry daily, three years later. ![]() ![]() ![]() It may crush the garlic, which isn’t great if you want to use whole cloves for presentation. You can also use your palm, but the knife provides more leverage (and less stinky fingers). The garlic skin should then be easy to peel.

![]() ![]() Some example scope values for different resources: When your application needs to request an access token with specific permissions for a resource API, pass the scopes containing the app ID URI of the API in the format /. For more information, see Scopes for a v1.0 application. It's also possible in MSAL to access v1.0 resources. Well-known scopes are the Microsoft Graph permissions. The scopes parameter is a list of strings that declare the desired permissions and the resources requested. Several of MSAL's token acquisition methods require a scopes parameter. Based on the web API's configuration of the token version it accepts, the v2.0 endpoint returns the access token to MSAL. v2.0 protocol uses scopes instead of resource in the requests. MSAL allows you to get tokens to access Azure AD for developers (v1.0) and the Microsoft identity platform APIs. Client applications request the user's consent for these scopes when making authentication requests to get tokens to access the web APIs. Scopes are the permissions that a web API exposes that client applications can request access to. This doesn't remove the session cookie that's in the browser, however. You can also clear the token cache, which is achieved by removing the accounts from the cache. Your application code should first try to get a token silently from the cache before attempting to acquire a token by other means. ![]() MSAL caches a token after it's been acquired. In general, the method used for acquiring a token depends on whether the application is a public client application like desktop or mobile app, or a confidential client application like web app, web API, or daemon application. Some require user interaction through a web browser, while others don't require user interaction. There are several ways to acquire a token by using the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL). Access tokens enable clients to securely call web APIs protected by Azure. ![]() |
