  1. my computer crashes if i just leave it running. typically, the screen goes black but stays on, and my second monitor switches off. it becomes completely nonresponsive (i can't even switch ttys). sometimes it crashes with a screen full of randomly flickering and blinking pixels. the last time it crashed, it seems to have switched momentarily to tty8, with the deinterlacing broken (it printed a spotty ghost image twice).

    heres a pic of the last crash: http://i.imgur.com/6DMiu.jpg

    any help is appreciated, sorry if i just smacked you with a wall of jibber-jabber.

    computer specs:

    OS: Arch linux

    CPU: centrino duo, 2.2ghz

    ram: 2GB

    it has discrete nvidia graphics

  2. one very good tool for that is mingw (formerly mingw32) it works just like gcc/g++ but compiles to a .exe. you will, of course, need the windows versions of any libraries that you use, though it does come with the standard ones. the compiler is called with the command i586-mingw32msvc-gcc for c and i586-mingw32msvc-g++ for c++.

  3. Do you know if anyone else in other forums have reported similar issues.

    I would probably take it back to the shop where you bought it, if it keeps occurring too often.

    take it back to the shop, ehh... i bought it online

    i have checked other forums, no luck.

    after a bit of checking, i have discovered a couple of other things.

    it seems to be more dependent on sunlight than temperature. the backlight does not go off, the backlight stays on while the lcd pixels turn black.

  4. If it's the top and bottom half of the screen it sounds like a problem with the backlight inverter.

    it's the left and right sides

    i can't really hook it up to an external monitor while it's doing this because it only happens in cold temperatures

  5. i have searched google for this and found nothing. i have an eeepc 1001pxd. i live in michigan, so the weather is kinda chilly at the moment. whenever i try to use my eee pc outside, after a few seconds one half of the screen will go dead, then the other. everything else works fine while the screen is dead. suspending and restoring causes the screen to come on again for another few seconds.

  6. Also mentioned outside of Hak5 on Episode 1337 of Buzz Out Loud(http://bol.cnet.com/).

    At 22:22, Molly mentions that Darren's tearing apart his phone for no apparent reason.

    Molly: It turns out that the darknet is onto him.

    Darren: *cough* EEF5204D6A what?

    If this is being hinted at on Buzz Out Loud, what are the chances that Darren's been leaving hints about this around other shows(TNT being my first thought) as well?

    eef5204d6a is the name of a twitter account with the "real name" of highde finition

  7. actually, the jpeg 2000 video format uses jpeg stills for each frame of video, so you could, presumably, pull a frame out (as a jpeg), steghide something in it and put it back in the video.

    *listens as 5,000 people cringe upon reading "jpeg 2000"*

    edit: should be mjpeg, not jpeg 2000, sorry

  8. Um, I dont think microsoft is going to come after you for copying himem.sys from someone. Its not like the OS is still supported. Google for it, I'm sure there is a copy floating around out there. Also, look on the CD from another PC with a CDROM. It might not end in the same file extension though, might be .sy_ or even within a .cab file, so might have to do some digging, but its on there somewhere. The other option is to load the HDD in a machine with a working CDROM and repair from there.

    Alternative, install it in a VM on another workstation, copy to floppy, boot win95 box from boot floppy, swap out disk, copy over good file. I think even the floppy boot disk has the himem file on it, so check that as well. You can create a startup floppy disk from within the windows 95 vm.

    You could also try, but not 100% sure it would work, using the one that comes with FreeDOS (if it contains one).

    edit: just thought of somehtign else, not sure if it will work, but if you can edit config.sys, I think you can comment out the himem reference and still boot in safe mode but wont be able to run much of anything.

    the windows 95 cd is not bootable

    i looked on the cd, and i think it's in one of the .cab files, however, i don't have software that can deal with .cab files (i'm running ubuntu)

  10. i was working with this win 95 system and i accidentally erased the himem.sys file. now the system won't boot. what do i do? some info on my situation: the system's only disk drive is a floppy drive. i have a win 95 install disk, but it's a cd.

    p.s. giving me a copy of the file would be illegal, so don't do it.

  11. 1 shouldn't be a problem, 2 cold be solved by finding a win xp box or booting into linux (maybe from usb) and using dd to copy the image over ex. "dd if=directoryofimage of=/dev/sdc"

  12. zipit tip:

    if you want to have more than 2gb in the zipit, you can re-partition it on a bigger card. unfortunately, gparted gives error when you try to do this. here's how to make it work:

    1. take the fat16 partition and resize it to more than 270mb (may give an error, ignore this)

    2. apply all changes

    3. backup fat16 partition and format it

    4. apply all changes

    5. move partitions 2-3 to the end and expand partition 1 all the way

    6. apply all changes

    you may have to switch steps 1 and 3, i don't remember, probably not.
