  1. Hey guys. I have alittle problem and was hoping that some of you Windows buffs can help me out. I was playing around with an XP "Performance Booster" (XP Smoker) and after doing the tune up, all of my function keys were disabled. An example: Pressing Fn+F9 opened my Task Manager. After the tune up, it does nothing. My volume controls, power adjustments, battery adjustments, nothing works anymore. I tried setting all XP settings back to default and using a Restore Point. Neither of these options worked. Does anyone have any idea on how to reverse this or how to reassign the keys? I am primarily a Linux user so I'm not too familiar with editing the Registry and all that. Any help would be nice. *Note, reformatting is not an option. I am on a netbook and aside from having no CDROM, I do not wish to lose all of my information. :)
  2. *Mods, I apologize in advance if I'm posting this topic in the wrong section. Hey guys! I need some help in selecting a UMPC. I'm deploying to Iraq in a few weeks and will be gone for 15mths. I'm looking for a UMPC to take over there to keep me occupied when I'm setting inside my tank with nothing to do. I would prefer that the UMPC have the style of an internet tablet rather than a min-laptop. Also, I don't want to spend more than $500.00. I have considered the Nokia N810 WiMax edition but I've read some reviews and it seems that alot of people are having problems with the GPS system and the webcam doesn't seem to work with Skype. The webcam is a huge part of the UMPC for me (I'll be wanting to do video chats with my wife ;)). Also, an SD expansion slot would be nice. The Sony Vaio UX series is pretty nice but as I said before, I'm not looking to spend more than $500--$600 at the most. If anyone could suggest a few models for me a check out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Tek

    PDF Exchange?

    Yea, I'm purchasing an iPhone for that sole purpose. Even though the cell phone may or may not work, I'll still be able to access Skype (assuming we have internet) and make calls that way. I'm searching Google Books now. Also checked some other locations but I do not have access to my main internet connection at the moment so searching is rather slow. I'm using a Bluetooth connection to access my cell phone and using the phone as a modem. I'd rather have dial-up. Lol

    PDF Exchange?

    Thanks. I appreciate your suggestion. However, I don't see an option that lets me download these books? Google Books won't help me if I don't have internet access in Iraq. Any other suggestions?
  5. Hey guys. This is my first post here and I have a quick question. I am getting ready to deploy to Iraq next month and am looking for a shit load of Tech Books (mainly Information Security, certifications, hacking, etc.) in the form of .PDFs to take over there with me. I was just wondering if doing a .PDF exchange violated any copy-rite laws or infringement laws or anything? If a friend wanted to borrow one of your books, you'd lend it to him/her, right? So what's different about doing a .PDF exchange? 98% of the books that I've purchased came with a PDF copy of the book. If this does not violate any laws, I'm very much interested in exchanging books. Most of the .PDFs that I have are on Network & Security certifications. CEH, CCNA, Security+, etc. I am looking for titles (such as "Hacking Exposed, 5th Edition") on CISSP, Project Management, Security Policies, Capstone Project, UA Systems & Role-Based Security, Firewalls, and pretty much anything published on Networks, Information Security, Hacking, and IT-Certifications. I would prefer that books not be more than a year old (2007). If you are interested in doing an exchange, please leave me a message on here. I only have a couple of weeks before I leave so I would like to exchange ASAP. Thanks, Tek
