hi all, what do you think of this? http://www.accessroot.com/arteam/forums/in...?showtopic=7602 BR

For anyone interested in Invision Power Board they may be interested to know that the first public alpha preview of version 3.0 is now available here: http://ipb3preview.ipslink.com/ You can login using your IPS client details (providing you have one)... 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

After a lot of gaming in TF2 tonight I got myself an idea... Why not create a group for us reversing freaks smile.gif, so if you gotta steam account and love one of the following: TF2, HL2 DM, CS:S, DOD:S, Crysis Wars, or what ever just go to http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GamingReversers Frag you there...

Hi everybody! I hope this isn't viewed as a waste of forum space or such, but i'll post it anyway. As it has just passed midnight here, i would like to wish everybody who frequents this forum a merry Christmas! 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…

Anyone can verify this tool Universal Import Fixer 1 - 1.2 does it contain keylogger? 2 scanner a-squared anti-malware and Ikarus found keylogger in this tool

For the crackers out there... Why do you crack software / games etc.... Not that i'm ungrateful or anything just thought it would be interesting question.

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…

Anyone know why Google added some changes with their search engine results and how these new changes work? Noticed the new icons over the past couple of days. I am presuming these are to be used as a means of personalising search engine results and for better indexing? Ted.

Knight Rider is back as Knight Industries Three Thousand... did anyone see it? Another TV show I loved to watch as a kid so I was hoping this was going to be good. I didn't think it turned out so bad for a pilot, it can obviously get better. It is certainly no worse than that garbage Sarah Conner Chronicles! K.I.T.T is looking quite mean and aggressive now but where did his turbo boost go?... ...Kittmaster is going to be busy if he plans on updating his own KITT to the Three Thousand series car If they do decide to make a series it will be nice to see more of Deanna Russo, she was looking hot... Ted.

made ya look! :biggrin:

I have been having a bit of a bad time with Pidgin and Yahoo of late. For those that do not know Pidgin is a multiprotocol IM client. I have not been able to stop Yahoo from dropping offline so I decided to have a look around for a temporary substitute and came across Digsby. I am not sure but I don't think it has even been around for a year and it is already looking very promising and a good alternative to Pidgin. I thought I'd post this here rather than in the Freeware topic to see what some of you guys and girls think and maybe some of you already know something more about Digsby and its history? You can find and download Digsby here: http://www.digsby.com/ Ted.

I just treated myself to one of these old classic joysticks for some retro gaming, anyone remember the Competition Pro? Great thing is it is USB and works very well with emulators such as WinUAE. I'm hooked on Kick-Off again... it has never been the same with either the keyboard or joypad. I'd recommend buying one if your in to your retro gaming and have been looking for a classic joystick like this... Ted.

ey all, Just found something interesting on the web. Someone keygenned a Delphi program called Newsleecher, where the latest final version uses the "uncrackable" IceLicense algo. I know that accessroot has an old tutorial about cracking the protection by simply changing some commands. As far as I know no one has even keygenned this algo. Might be a good thing for discussing, do people know how to keygen IceLicense? is it private stuff or did no one ever brothered that there was an uncracked protection?

Anyone else tired of the presidential race for the White House? Unfortunately because I live in the 52nd state of America it is all that seems to be on the news these days In the Democratic Party corner with plenty of change but "not enough experience" we have... Barack Obama In the Republican Party corner we have George W Bush 3... Oh! Sorry... John McCain Ted.

Hi I just thought I'd mention this game, just played it a bit and it's wonderful! This is for all the 2D Retro freaks out there, and I even hate old games It's really wonderful, it looks great, nice gameplay with some weird metal arm that enables you to swing across platforms and the whole design is just hilarious, especially the stupid dialogs You can also play it in coop mode http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/...onic%20commando Some screenshots: http://kotaku.com/346646/gorgeous-bionic-c...ed-screen-shots It's only 15$ on D2D, about 250MB in size I just got it from a torrentsite but I plan on buying it, considering it's that cheap it really is wor…
