[Good buy]

i alway have to laugh when i see someone trying to sell linux for more than the cost of a DVD-R which is like $2 NZD. lol

[Max Payne: The Movie]

i would like to see Half-Life and HL2 turned into a movie, i found the story line very addictive.

Max payne was on my list of games -> movies, also Metal Gear Solid the original from PS1 would be cool.

lol Jim Bravura played by Ludacris.

[a little Call of duty 4 app i wrote]

cheers for all the positive feedback.

i have come up with a better name for it, so now its called "Call of Duty 4 - Direct Connect".

the .exe download has been updated but the source code hasn't yet.

the only changes to the code were renaming the form.

[a little Call of duty 4 app i wrote]

yeah its winzip. was the only compression tool i had.

anyone know in c++ how to execute an external .exe without bringing the cmd window up?

currently im using system(); and it leave a cmd window up until COD4 closes.

[a little Call of duty 4 app i wrote]

cheers, have had a lot of good feedback so far :)

[C++]

easier way would be to do a loop then you could loop through for any thing.

something like:

while stringx != '0'{

if stringx = x

strcpy( stringx, newString);

i++;

}

just off the top of my head, this wont work of course but it gives you an idea.

[a little Call of duty 4 app i wrote]

i hate using the COD server list thing because it drives me nuts trying to find a nz server without downloading 15000 other ones.

there is a site called http://www.game-monitor.com which works well, the downside is you cant just click a button saying PLAY and it launches the game.

this program i wrote allows you to copy and paste the IP from there or anywhere and then click connect and it will launch cod4 and connect to the server you wanted.

just thought i would release it into the community, i would hardly call it complex, just a couple of simple lines of code and a basic GUI.

source code this there so someone may want to take up some ideas i originally had.

Like a place to save favourites with IP and server name.

note this should work with other versions of Call of Duty since it just points to an executable.

let me know what you think.

[Why not to hack school networks again]

i used to break into my network at school, when i did i never achieved anything anyway.

breaking into an account to just get past the proxy filtering software was all i stood to gain.

i really cant see the point, but i understand the challenge.

my advice is your probably going to get caught for it so i wouldn't bother doing it.

you'll get more respect for hacking a cellphone to your toaster so in the morning you can text message it and it will make toast.

[Gain SYSTEM/Administrative Access to Windows XP/2000]

figured that part.

anyone got an image or something of a NTFS bootcd?

[Gain SYSTEM/Administrative Access to Windows XP/2000]

what can i use to make a NTFS bootable cd?

iv only got a win98 boot cd

[cycllical copy workaround]

what about copying to my documents then copying from my docs to the NAS.

sorry didn't quite follow what you meant

[how to block remote exe files]

i think if you did that windows would try and run in notepad. lol

[Gain SYSTEM/Administrative Access to Windows XP/2000]

i had an idea the other day.

assuming you find a locked computer with admin rights.

is it possible to put one of these executables on a flash drive so when you insert the flash drive it automatically runs the .exe?

1. not sure if you can launch a process while the computer is locked.

2. not sure on how the autorun feature will react.

maybe someone would like to give this ago.

[MySpace MP3 Hacks]

sounds pretty complex, i just use "FREE Hi-Q Recorder" to capture the stream from the sound card i presume. lower bit rate like 64k i think.

[WinPerm XP Home Permission modify]

i say dos shell because everyone knows what your talking about ;)

windows command shell isnt as well known as dos imo.

[WinPerm XP Home Permission modify]

i really developed it for noob users who some how manage to get locked out of their files.

nots not perfect just hacked together in a hour or so.

another thing it needs is inherit parent permissions, at the time i forgot about it but it would be easy to make.

i made this program because i couldnt find any other free ones that just did the plain and simple job of what i wanted to do, who here really enjoys using DOS to do such a mundane task?

[WinPerm XP Home Permission modify]

i wrote this basic program because i got sick of having to deal with DOS when trying to change the permissions on XP home files.

this program isnt perfect but it does the job.

im not the best programmer in the world so its rather messy.

source code is included ( dont laugh. lol ).

cool to see someone take this idea and make a proper GUI out of it, ill try to at some point but normally when i write something i cant be bothered with it afterwards.

[Why is everyone so mad about how much Vista costs?]

I have played around with Vista

the install time was pretty quick, unless i was not paying much attention. (listening to music during it). but it seemed to install alot faster than XP does.

the GUI just seems like a more annoying skinned XP interface, the logon display sucks compared to the old NT 2k one. hard to tell if you logging in locally or to a domain.

the only thing that stands out as cool is that cascading window thing where you can rotate through the open windows.

start menu is worse than the normal XP one, programs come up in the start menu as a posed to a separate menu like in xp.

personally i dont think its worth the $650+ NZD for ultimate.

seems they have taken XP but a facelift on it and packaged Windows Media Centre with it.

[Funny Post on why Mac's Cannot have Viruses!]

lol.

last time i check mainframes werent Wii sized, perhaps they can put a mainframe in my cellphone next.
