  1. Re:Danger with Old PCs on Is Your Computer a Fire Hazard Waiting to Happen? · · Score: 2

    There's a much easier way to clean and lube power supply fans. I've repaired fans with completely seized bearings like this:

    1) Remove the sticker on the fan, there will be a rubber plug. Remove it and put a few drops of oil inside (I use sewing machine oil).

    2) Replace the plug.

    3) Spray the fan with air and make it spin quite fast. This will get the oil spread around inside.

    4) After cleaning everything with the air and the fan is spinning good again, remove the plug again, and check to see how much oil is left. You might need to add another drop or two.

  2. Re:Dumb, DUMB idea on Hacktivismo to Release Steganography Tool · · Score: 2

    A combination of secure cryptography and steganography is ideal. Cryptographic data should be inheritantly random, and thus, when "they" try to analyze your image to see if there is hidden content, all they will get is random gibberish.

    You think having "Packard Bell" on it is a REDEEMING feature?!?!

    I found my friend's open printer and printed goatse off on it. Later that evening, he called me up and asked me for help securing his machine :)

    Hello Friend! I would like to offer you some of these fabulous MP3 music files. Would you like them? The first one is always free :D

    In these parts, cell phones are all in the 681, 631 and 684 exchanges. 681 is for Roger's AT, 631 is for SaskTel, and 684 is for PayAsYouGo Rogers.

    PuTTY is one of the best Windows SSH clients I have ever used!

  8. New.Net / Webhancer on Does Spyware Damage Windows Networking? · · Score: 2, Informative

    These screw with the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Services/Winsock2 keys and make things break. It's not easy to remove them until you get used to it. We had to request several times from New.Net to get removal instructions.

    I got one of these the other day to a webmaster account on a box I manage. I don't use it for anything...

  11. Re:May be hated, but it works.. on Spam King Living High in the Bayou · · Score: 1

    If we had to pay solely for outbound traffic, all the P2P networks would shut down, because nobody would want to host files, people would just want to leech (because leeching is free).

    Don't do this guys!

    Yes sir Mr PHB we'll get right on it.

  13. Re:been that way for a while on Microsoft Media Player "Security Patch" Changes EULA Big Time · · Score: 1

    I'd guess it was WMA. WMA has a built-in ripper right in the interface, and it rips to WMA. It *is* pretty slick, but with all this DRM crap I think I'll stick to MP3 thank you.

    Ya man, that's how I do it.

  15. Re:No, it still won't work. on Analyzing Palladium · · Score: 1

    I agree. Even without emulation, not having the Paladium instructions could push a lot of people to the Mac-side.

    AMD also has a fab plant in Germany I believe.

    He knows exactly what he's talking about. You only get the source if you get the binaries. Until you get ahold of the binaries, you have no right to the source.
