Just wonder why there aren't really any videos of people researching/reversing a packer/protector/obfuscator. I think it would very interesting to see how people do it, and to learn from their methods.

I see the US Federal Reserve has wasted NO time in rushing the new $50 note artwork through for the new President. No doubt about our yankie friends.. they certainly love their Presidents! The new notes hit the streets at the end of January. _http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/7581/obamanz1.jpg

I came across this interesting little blog (rant) about UAC's "whitelist" in Windows 7. I think the blogger - Leo - raises a fair point: http://www.pretentiousname.com/misc/win7_uac_whitelist.html Ted.

My computer has recently decided to crap itself... and i started getting an Unmountable Boot Volume BSOD upon startup.... i did some HDD scan and repair utilities and all said there were unrecoverable errors...and i couldn't recover any files... so in my frustration i happened to rockstar (shatter) my HDD into many many shiny little pieces... but all is well, new HDD should be here tomorrow. and then i will reinstall windows xp and be up and running.

Does anybody have the source code i released for my wild tangent loader? Due to recent hard drive crash/destruction i no longer have it. or at least the clsQuickSearch class. Thanks in advance

Hi everybody! I hope this isn't viewed as a waste of forum space or such, but i'll post it anyway.

I hope everybody enjoys themselves (safely) this holiday season, including those who aren't celebrating this day in the religious sense. HR, Ghandi

Hey there I'm running a dual boot system (XP+Vista) and set both Firefox installs to use a 'Firefox' directory located on disk H: Ever since, I get a notification when I start Firefox the first time, 'You installed the newst update' with a tab showing the changelog and the plugin window pops up telling me '1 plugin updated' no matter if something was actually updated or not. This just seems to happen the first time after rebooting, if I close and open it again, I dont get this stuff. Tried disabling automatic updates, to no avail (funny enough it still checks for plugin updates on every start o_O). Anyone else ever had that problem ? I googled but found nothing simi…

Just ordered myself an MSI Wind U100 (in black) this weekend. Was wondering if anyone has had a chance to use one and tell me what they think? I looked at all the other subnotebooks (netbooks) and thought the U100 seemed the best of the bunch. I saw one of the Asus Eee PC (701) in the local shops around here and I wasn't impressed. The rest of the Eee PC lineup seems much the same. My Archos 605 seems to be better than this... Ted.

I've found folder creater 5. The "update" link is showing version 5.950 but the highest downloadable version I can find is 5.15. http://www.tonysfreeware.com/downloadupdat...derCreator5.htm I don't need this app but an app that can do this: Read each file name in a folder and then create a folder in the same directory and then move it there as a batch. The app can seem to do it with a list.txt generated from a windows cmd prompt and then loaded in. But it does not move the file, only creates the folders and there are a few thousand files to deal with. I need something quick and simple. Can anyone find the 5.95 version or is there anyone who can write a simple script that…
