http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-6114012.htmlIt?s not a good idea to risk with selling an illegal software if you live in the USA. The owner of one of the nation?s largest Internet software piracy Web sites has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison. Nathan Peterson, 27, of Los Angeles, sold products copyrighted by companies such as Microsoft Corp. and Adobe Systems Inc. at a huge discount on his site, iBackups.net, prosecutors said. The site began operating in 2003 and was shut down by the FBI in February 2005. In addition to Friday?s 87-month sentence, U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III ordered Peterson to pay restitution of more than $5.4 million and…

What's the best RS downloadeder with built in proxy support (comes with a list of proxies)? //edit: Actually, I found this site. seems to work well http://proxygrab.info/

I'm planning to make a small tut, which should come with several files (examples, sources, .libs, .incs,...). I like the "Iczelion's-Tutorial's.chm" very much, because -everything comes in only 1 file -it let's u extract only the stuff (sources), that u'd like to see (and it contains lots of stuff) So I've just d/led WinCHM (which Iczelion seemingly also used), but I really couldn't find any help on how to include (zip-)files into the build ?!? No hint in the help file - no success with google... :/ Maybe somebody's got experience with it ? Or does anybody know another tool, which could do such a job ? Thanks

Microsoft hedging its bets on HD DVD, ponders switch to Blu-ray When comparing the latest consoles, Sony constantly makes reference to its decision to include a Blu-ray Disc player with every PlayStation 3, while pointing out that Microsoft?s Xbox 360 utilizes the comparatively less spacious DVD9 format.Sony is so confident in its Blu-ray-enabled console that the company has stated that putting Blu-ray in PS3 will be the smartest decision made for the games machine. Microsoft Europe?s Senior Regional Director, Neil Thompson doesn?t think so, saying that Blu-ray does not give Sony?s console any advantage over the Xbox 360.http://www.dailytech.com/Article.aspx?newsid=6714 e…

Hi, guys, this is my first post, before I ask my question, I just wanna say that thanks to the people on this forum for making such awesome contributions!!! k, now for my question. I really love the music that plays in the background of keygens, and they all seem to have the same type of music, I love them so much, so times I ll just leave the keygens open so I can hear the music, for example, the keygen for the #1 DVD Ripper, which is what brought me to this site. can anyone point me to the direction where I might find more music of the same type? Thank you soooo much

In what could be the most embarrassing exploit to impact Windows Vista since its commercial launch in January, security engineers at McAfee's Avert Labs confirmed today - and posted the video to prove - that the operating system can be caused to enter an interminable crash-restart-crash loop, by means of a buffer overflow triggered by nothing more than a malformed animated cursor file. It isn't even a new exploit, as researchers with eEye discovered in January 2005. At that time, Microsoft acknowledged it affected versions of the operating system from the first edition of Windows 98 through to early releases of Windows XP, though it stated at the time XP SP1 was unaffecte…

New Plastics Pave the Way For Unbreakable Cell Phones http://www.dailytech.com/New+Plastics+Pave+the+Way+For+Unbreakable+Cell+Phones/article6682.htm New plastics that serve as better semiconductors could lead to portable electronics that can truly bounce back..."Dropped calls" have a very different meaning to Dutch researcher Paulette Prins. The Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) doctoral candidate has proposed a way to make mobile phones and other personal electronics more resilient, and much less likely to break when dropped. "when dropped"...hehehe more like when chucked at a wall!! my girlfriend better practice ducking when this is available...

Does anyone have any older boomboxes? Say circa 1980-90's? I'm interested in purchasing one. The bigger the better, I have the model numbers if needed, but a good indicator is if they have dual VU meters that is what I'm really interested in. LMK if you have anything and maybe some pics? Willing to pay up to $700ish maybe more if its what I'm looking for. crossing fingers...... Chris

I have been very interested in rce for some time. And having spent countless hours reading tuts, mainly to no avail ( only ever managed to crack/patch a couple of apps ), I came across lena151's absolutely fantastic tutorials on newbie cracking. My question is that I have made a patch for an app that does not have one released so how do I go about sharing the patch on the scene?
