Ahhh, a little digging revealed it was the IP.board forum software by invisionpower.com, which is a steaming pile of shit under the best of conditions.

Also, I love how Nulled.io used the tagline. "Expect The Unexpected"....they should have taken their own advice, lol.

This is why people should use Invision - http://www.invisionpower.com/apps/board/ instead of vbulletin. As far as I can recall over the last few years when security exploits were discovered in Invision they at least were forthcoming and explained what the issue was and how it was to be fixed etc instead of just hiding it.

In the last decade I was using Invision forum software not only because it was a very nice alternative to vbulletin and phpBB but it also seemed quite popular as well. They do have a demo for the Community Suite here - http://www.invisionpower.com/demo/ if you want to try it out.

If you are an Australian ISP please block it.

I'm sure at least one of the links in this Google search links to unauthorized copies of copyrighted material. The RIAA is already up in arms about such material.

Firefox 1.5.0.5 .ZIP package.

The links are usually posted here, but 1.5.0.5 hadn't been posted there yet.

Only thing that makes me cry at work is the inability of ie 5.5 that we are forced to use to work on google maps.

Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

  When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today." So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

  All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a sinner."

  But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount."

  Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

with them ripping off icons and interface cues from Mac OS X

This was discussed in the last Slashdot article on Yoper nine days ago. That is not our fault, we just modified a panel and use it. The icons came with it. If this really bugs you so much, join our forums and make a suggestion in the 'Ideas and Reccommendations' forum

I wonder how much longer their site will be around seeing that they are running a trial version of IPB Portal.

As long as it takes to unseat the monopoly. That "trial version" is unlimited, but we are looking into buying the full deal. Not just so that we can get rid of the "trial" tag, but so that we can use extra features that Invision Power Services provide.

Let me pull out my venture capitalist checkbook!

Please do. All donations welcome! :)

Yeah, dismiss me as a "Windows troll" because you disagree with me. I imagine you probably abbreviate Microsoft as "M$," don't you?

This is a requote of the news, originally taken from Wininformant:

Fun Fact About Those Linux PCs in Munich
And speaking about Linux stories you don't hear much from the Linux-loving mainstream press, consider the following. Remember that story about the city of Munich choosing Linux to power 14,000 desktop computers? One aspect of this story that most people don't know about is that up to 80 percent of those Linux desktops will be equipped with VMWare, a virtual machine emulator, under which they will run Windows and Windows applications. That's right, folks: The majority of those "Linux desktops" will be used to run Windows. I'm not a big fan of Gartner, but they've issued a report, correctly titled, "Munich's Choice Doesn't Prove Linux OK for General Desktop Use," that raises some interesting issues. First, many of the Windows desktops they're migrated are very old Windows versions like Windows 3.1, making the switch to Linux less painful (it would be equally painful to switch to XP). Gartner says the cost of switching to Linux will cost 30 million Euros, or 3 million Euros more than it would cost to switch to XP, not including any steep discounts Microsoft would have no doubt provided. And finally, because most of the Linux machines will use VMWare to run Windows anyway, Linux is really being used as a hosting environment, and not as a replacement. In other words, this isn't exactly a good business case on which other companies can base a decision to migrate to Windows desktops. And, not coincidentally, that's why we're not reading about a lot of other high-profile Linux switchers.

Do you plan to apologize to me now or later? It was even mentioned on Slashdot!
