yeah ^^too much free time ?
This from someone who posts on Christmas...like half the regulars on here, no one can put down a keyboard for longer than 24hours to leave the hak5 forums alone and enjoy their holiday.
Oh the huge-man-a-tee...we are all such geeks.....And yes, I have too much free time, considering I worked Christmas Eve and Christmas night and only slept a fe whours in between, I still managed to get a few posts in as well as time to make the Napolean Dynamit pic...
Do people really utilize their free time to the fullest, or do they just squander the hours away when instead they could be used to post funny pictures....
short answer : squander & pr0n ².O
-
nice :o , too much free time ?I made it in Photoshop. Including the deport pedro part....Stock image on Google images somwehre, just search for napolean dynamite and lucky. -
lol where did you find that XD
-
nevermind, fixed it ^^
found a software setting on the archos itself wich did the trick :)

on ubuntu it opens up fine like an external harddrive

havent tried yet will reboot now ....What does Ubuntu do? -
for x-mas i got a new archos 605 wifi 30GB
unfortunatelly currently windows (xp x64) only see's it as a portable device and only lets me sync it thru wmp.
essentially it has just a hard drive inside, and my previous pmp would just be seen as an external hdd .
now my question :
how do i get windows to just see it as an external hdd ?
(so i can get past a lot of problems)
ps : vista is even more fucked up , it does show it in explorer as a portable device and once u click on that in vista it shows it as an external hdd inside it)
xp x64 just doesn't show it in explorer
also this should be possible as is , reading the widget instructions (see point 2) :
How to install widgets?1. Save the widgets
Save widgets file (type .aos) to a convenient place on your PC, such as the desktop.
2. Connect your Archos device to your computer
Using the ARCHOS USB cable, plug your Archos device into your computer and connect in "PC Hard Drive Mode". Double click to open the Archos 'hard drive' (your Computer sees the Archos device as if it were an external hard drive).
3. Copy the widgets onto the Archos.
Copy and paste the widgets onto the Archos device, but not into any specific folder (this is called the root level).
4. Activate the widgets.
Safely disconnect your ARCHOS device from the computer:
On Windows PC, click on the green disconnect arrow icon located in the system tray (lower right corner of the screen) and select “safely remove USB device”
On Mac OS, just drag the drive icon to the trash can.
Then unplug the USB cable.
Your ARCHOS device will automatically start the update. This will take about a minute. You will be asked to plug the USB cable in order to power your device duing update process. Do not remove it : it could potentially harm your device.
however i dont get this option and its not visible in explorer.

check it out ^^ : source : http://dotnet.org.za/codingsanity/archive/...windows-xp.aspx
I have finally decided to take the plunge. Last night I upgraded my Vista desktop machine to Windows XP, and this afternoon I will be doing the same to my laptop.Look & Feel
Windows XP has quite a cartoony look and feel compared to the slick look of Aero Glass, this is mostly offset by the lack of strange screen artifacts caused by malfunctioning graphics code. You know, almost like static on the screen. This was a once or twice monthly occurance on my laptop, and happened on my desktop whenever I logged in, and also whenever I played a 3D game after leaving Vista running for a couple of hours. I also miss the "orphaned windows" I got on Vista, dialog boxes that would not go away, in a sense they became part of the desktop, since you could drag a selection from within them, despite the fact that the Glass would render the selection below them. Such crazy graphics bugs appear to be a thing of the past.
Performance
Well, here there appears to be no contest. Windows XP is both faster and far more responsive. I no longer have the obligatory 1-minute system lock that happens whenever I log onto Vista, instead I can run applications as soon as I can click their icons. Not only that, but the applications start snappily too, rather than all waiting in some "I'm still starting up the OS" queue for 30 seconds or so before all starting at once. In addition, I have noticed that when performing complex tasks such as viewing large images, or updating large spreadsheets, instead of the whole operating system locking down for several seconds, it now just locks down the application I am working on, allowing me to <gasp> Alt-Tab to another application and work on that. I am thrilled that Microsoft decided to add preemptive multitasking to their operating system, and for this reason alone I would strongly urge you to upgrade to XP. With the amount of multi-core processors around today using a multitasking operating system like XP makes a world of difference.
In addition, numerous tasks that take a long time on Vista have been greatly speeded up. File copies are snappy and responsive, and pressing the Cancel button halfway through actually cancels the copy almost immediately, as opposed to having it lock up, and sometimes lock up the PC. In addition, a lot of work has gone into making deletes far more efficient, it appears that no more does the operating system scan every file to be deleted prior to wiping it, and instead just wipes out the NTFS trees involved, a far quicker operation. On my Vista machine I would often see a dialog box from some of my video codecs pop up when deleting, moving or copying videos. No more, now all that is involved is a byte transfer or NTFS operation.

Automatic Updates has also gone through a performance facelift in that it no longer hogs your bandwidth when you're surfing, a nice touch.
Device Support
All I can say is "wow!". You can see that a lot of work has gone into making XP more reliable than its predecessor. The random program crashes, and hangs appear to be a thing of the past.
http://dotnet.org.za/blogs/codingsanity/Pictures/Solutions.png[/img]
Internet Explorer 7 is much more reliable on XP as well, and has so far not crashed once whilst viewing GMail, when it used to do this several times a day. In addition, I can now actually close the thing down normally every time, instead of sometimes having to kill the process. Error collection seems to be far better as well. Instead of a dialog taking a minute or two to collect the information it needs, the dialog comes up and is ready to send error data almost immediately. I am sad to see the back of the Solutions tool though, it may have hardly ever delivered any valid solutions, especially for the standard random crashes, but at least you knew that something under your control was tracking that information. Please, Microsoft bring it back.
Speaking of which, I notice that the Reliability Report is also gone, again a sore loss, I really enjoyed charting the downward spiral of my Vista reliability, there were those occasional humps that got you all excited, and then the graph would continue its steady sojourn downwards. Of course, the fact that it only appeared to pay attention to a tiny fraction of the actual problems was a bit of an issue, but I'm sure they could have resolved that for the XP release. Ah well.
I also am pleased to note that Ctrl-Alt-Del does actually have an effect nowdays. Many times in Vista, I wished that they would make this more reliable so I could kill off the inevitable hanging Windows Explorer process (as a matter of fact, this is the situation I find myself in right now), in XP it actually does something as opposed to being part of the usual Vista eternal hang. Speaking of which, please excuse me for a few minutes, Windows Explorer has now been 100% hung for 5 minutes, despite my asking Vista to restart it, and despite me pushing Ctrl-Alt-Del several times over those 5 minutes. So I'm going to have to hard-reset my laptop. This process, by the way, is also something that amazingly seems to almost never be required in the clean and sparkling new XP.
Right, I'm back, thanks for being patient. I mentioned how much quicker you could start using programs from a boot in XP, I must admit that, appealing though that feature is, you won't actually find it that useful. XP almost never appears to require a reboot, so you hardly ever take advantage of a wonderful improvement like that, which otherwise would save you at least 15-20 minutes a day.
Gaming
This is another area where Microsoft have really excelled in Windows XP. Games are significantly more responsive, get much higher frame rates, and are far more reliable than in Vista. If you're a gamer, the upgrade to XP is mandatory. Whilst there are a few games that won't work as well in XP than in Vista, you'll find that on the whole XP supports almost all the games you'd want to play. In addition, it's vastly increased reliability means you'll spend much more time killing things than restarting, a welcome change I can assure you. You'll also find that non-XFi soundcards with EAX are much improved by their support in XP, which can really add a bit of excitement to your gaming experience.
Multimedia
Multimedia support on XP is vastly better than on Vista. Whilst content-creators had insisted on all sorts of intrusive features in Vista that made the multimedia experience a living hell for Microsoft users, thankfully with XP Microsoft were able to insist that their customers needs came ahead of the content creators outdated business model. It's nice to see a corporation like Microsoft stand up to the cyber bullies at the MPAA and refuse to assume that its loyal customers are criminals. In any case, the DRM built into Vista was broken shortly after it's release anyway.
Conclusion
To be honest there is only one conclusion to be made; Microsoft have really outdone themselves in delivering a brand new operating system that really excels in all the areas where Vista was sub-optimal. From my testing, discussions with friends and colleagues, and a review of the material out there on the web there seems to be no doubt whatsoever that that upgrade to XP is well worth the money. Microsoft can really pat themselves on the back for a job well done, delivering an operating system which is much faster and far more reliable than its predecessor. Anyone who thinks there are problems in the Microsoft Windows team need only point to this fantastic release and scoff loudly.
Well done Microsoft!

handy , thanks ^^

lol ^^ nice :-P

crap double post , please delete this one ...

donnu , i heard a lot of complaints about vio-laptops (yeah i prolly misspelled that)£699.00 for a well made, quiet laptop which has a good battery life and some okay software is very cheap. Sure you can get cheap laptop from Dell/HP but if you match the specification the prices aren’t hugely different and Apple still makes a nicer laptop. If you have the money buy a Sony laptop as they are teh sex, they are just as well made, look just as good, have Blu-Ray, have nicer screens but they are more expensive.but yeah i can agree mac's look good both the hardware and the os-es, and it wouldn't be my thing but i understand that people buy it for the looks , just like the ipod, but most of us are geeks , and i presume care bout specs & functionallity more ...
i kno mac's are more fit for video & gfx editing etc , and if you guys are right about the specs and price be comparable to that of a normal laptop same specs , then allright ^^ , i aint got the money tho ....
-
i still don't get it ? why do people find mac's so cool ?
i like the eye candy of compiz fusion a lot more , combined with a good theme & custom icons.
and mac's cost a lot more just for some eye candy ?
seeing as osx is just a modded bsd .....

is regalyzer portable? , or do you have a portable version ?u sayd u used it @ school however dont u then have a limited account and no acces to regedit ?
thts how it is @ our school anyway ...
Also, sometimes it is possible to get around that by using a 3rd party regedit.
I use RegAlyser.
It's a fun & easy way to re-enable the run button in the start menu, cmd and some other things!
:D

PS: Can someone please put all the required files for this hack, into a zip (or some other archive format) and host it onto some server (mediafire is a good one), and give me the link? Or save it as an attachment on this forum? Thanks in advance, USBHacker

cos i didnt kno and didnt bother to check ... just used the feuture of the website ...@DLSS - Yeah. I don't understand the purpose of posting the entire picture even if you resized it using the width and height adjustment, it is still the same as the original file size. It is the same file when you click on it(as in, still 1.7 meg) Either put up a small thumbnail(a real resized image) or just post the link. Why evne try to shrink it with width and height to fit in a post if your still using the original file?I try to keep the file size down to under 100k if I post the image itself, otherwise I just put a link to it. Takes too long to load a bunch of wallpapers when everyone has uncompressed PNG files of their desktop posted in each post.

Wait... So let me get this straight.
She has to pay $222,000 to the RIAA? The article said they're a lobbying group. Are they going to turn over the money to the various record companies? Or just keep it for themselves?
If a bank gets robbed who goes after the robbers? The Bank's Lobbyists, The Bank, or Law Enforcement? I don't have a law degree or anything, but this sounds completely backwards.
*newsflash* America is backwards .....

yeah it sounds like a good prank, but you'd need to be logged in under his admin acc to get it to work :( ...
