hey be fair , family and friends are free! and Hiren's boot CD, Ihavethepasswords and various live cd's including live windows ones and 'DOZE cd's are the normal repair tools. personally I prefer hardware problems as they are much easier and quicker to fix(how often have you seen that locking computer that requires the heatsink cleaning!) , but we all know those rootkits are the most annoying thing going!

have to admit I'm in the same boat as rpimonitrbtch however if I wasn't I still wouldn't worry , unless of course you use that email and password for something like paypal...

winners don't do warez , but lol I'll admit I'm a loser

Yeah this was kinda funny from our point of view (sorry matt with the red eyes...) when I came to log in all i saw was 'This Defacement is deployed in accordance to the fuqhak5 licence agreement' 'Shoutz to:' 'sky/dmc (dominic chell)' '--prdelka/mdf/cr00k' and the first thing that goes through your mind is , erm is this for real? but then when you think about it by the nature of your site it is a 'string to someones bow'. p.s. take the Micr0$haft train of thought although one hole is plugged there will always be more thats why were all here right?

generally it is considered that the speed of light(in Mps) divided by the frequency(in Hz) (in english is 300 divided by the frequency in Mhz) gives you the wavelength of the frequency. 1/4 of that wavelength is the frequency at which an antenna becomes resonant (give or take a little bit due to thickness of wires and surrounding cables etc) and another 1/4 wave is needed to balance the antenna for grounding. This is a basic dipole with basically no gain but can be a very effective antenna. the output of this would be in Metric not feet and inches.... so as an example 900Mhz.. 300/900 = 33.33Cm wavelength 33.33/4 = 8.3325Cm for a 1/4 wave (main element) and 8.3325Cm for ground making the antenna 8.3325*2 = 16.6625Cm long this antenna could be made from wire soldered straight to coax....

I'm unaware of the circuit for these lights , but I assume they are a string of led's with a basic i/o switch? if so personally I'd use an rs232 opto coupler (com port switcher) to replace the switch , the rest would then be software. I doubt you can switch the power to a single usb port via software....

if you can find a proxy that works (like hidemyass.com) then that is a start, but i'd assume most of these should be blocked...

look up SSTV (slow scan TV), basically the same idea. a good piece of software for this is mixw32...

Also it was stated that most scanners would not do the bandwidth , I remeber my old JIL 400 would do wideband FM on all freq's and as far as modifying old FM radio's, if you had one with a dial tuner (air capacitor) then normally you can just open the radio and screwdriver the capacitor , some radios only go up maybe 10Megs , some maybe 50... so 137 is perfectly possible a pre-amp would be definately needed too as well as that all important part - a decent antenna.I used to modify radio's this way to pick up the police which actually was an AM transmission but it was perfectly audiable on FM. I would also assume most PMR HI band gear would be useful for this too...

yeah CB is 27Mhz (this includes SSB which is a mode not a frequency..) which is a HF freq. 137Mhz is a vhf freq. a good starting point for an antenna is a basic dipole as stated earlier which would be in the region of (300/137) which gives a wavelength of 2.18M , thus 2.18/4=54CM which basically means 54CM for a main element and the same for ground , thus 1.08M , however this is a basic antenna without much gain , but it should be about resonant. using wire for this antenna should be ok , but it needs to be in the clear and outside..... I wonder if such satellites are available here in the uk?

Whilst away I noticed that travelodge (here in the U.K) have upgraded all their old philips T.V's to nice new flat panels with loads of inputs, including VGA... however all the inputs have been locked out , as have the menu's , so after a quick look on the net I found that on LG T.V's holding menu on the remote whilst holding menu on the tv for a few seconds brings up a secret menu but after an accidental press of the menu I found it brings up the 'HOTEL TV SETUP'so... PRESS MENU ON REMOTE AND MENU ON SIDE OF TV , HOLD BOTH UNTIL A MENU APPEARS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE TV. RELEASE BOTH BUTTONS NOW PRESS 1 OF THE MENU'S AGAIN IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH , JUST PRESS IT ONCE QUICKLY A SECOND MENU WILL APPEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN PRESS OK ON 'LG HOTEL MODE SETUP' TURN INPUT SOURCE CHANGE TO 'YES' CHANGE 'AV SETTING' TO 'YES' CHANGE MENU DISPLAY TO 'YES' CHANGE SETUP MENU DISPLAY TO 'YES' CHANGE THESE SETTINGS BACK WHEN FINISHED... this will allow it to act as a nice monitor for your pc, watch nice divx's on the TV or even play you console on the tv. There was also a DTV menu(these TV's over here are only set up for analog and have a terrible signal) which could come in handy maybe a homebrew dipole will get you a few channels too :)
