  • Speaking of obvious computer security holes just waiting to be exploited: Linux is incredibly insecure as a desktop operating system. The only reason we arn't being blown apart by Linux malware is because ATM the linux userbase is too small for commercially developed linux malware. This gal here explains the whole concept.…
  • If they really want to find you they can just let the payload run in a VM and monitor which IP it tries to access, with or without blocking actual internet access.
  • A couple quick questions: Do you have to fully / partially support yourself while going to school and how hard is it to combine this with going to school? What kind of schooling are we talking about here? If it's high school: finish it or you will regret it. If higher education: What will your degree be when you finish…

  • Honey, if you wanna do something about that limited cranial capacity of yours, neither praising the lord nor growing a penis is gonna help you with that. Wanna know how a computer works? Take a screwdriver and open one up. Get every part out, and try to put it back together. Then format and reinstall the OS. Nobody is born…
  • According to the stories on the web, on Vista 64 bit explorer.exe sometimes crashes as soon as you create this folder, forcing you to boot the thing into safe mode to remove the folder in order to make your computer useable again.

  • It's not that those functions are not available otherwise, but it's simply handy to have them all in one place. Kinda stupid to call it a god mode if it doesn't enable any extra functions, but whatever. You can name the folder anything you want, btw, just change the value before the dot. Oh, and here's how to make it work…

  • Seems like it would be painfully cold to put it anywhere down there.
  • What an idiot. One day he's gonna get a good askicking for sticking his nose in other people's business and he deserves it too. As long as it's exclusively consenting adults, let 'em do what they want. Although he does have a point in that they should seek more secluded locations to conduct their business transaction.

  • Holy shit, Jakanegro! How you been, dude??? Nah, just kidding, I don't remember you. Then again, I only remember Jeff Hunter, Jacketch, Wintermute, Wires, CarbonB and HTS-Noob from the old Totse. Anyway, don't let people who think they are managers play those stupid games with you. The real manager makes the real…

  • Go for it. It will be amazing.
  • Fuck it's easy to steal electricity in NZ! Where I live, the main breaker and the meter are both in a big cupboard which is closed with one of those lead tags / tamper-proof stickers. You can read the meter but not touch it, and you can flip the switch but can't touch any other part of it. On one side the always-live wire…
  • Yeah, that's what I was talking about, regular individual stitches.
  • Actually, a SSD only wears out when being written to. That super high number of reads would not bother a SSD at all. Your apache server and your mysql database are the things which are wearing out your hypothetical SSD. However, it off course makes sense not to use a SSD for anything but OS and application installation as…
  • Pirates usually carry an assortiment of AK47s, mosin nagants and an assortiment of other soviet cold-war-era weapons. Usually one man will also have an RPG. Now are we talking small yaught or big cargo vessel? If a yaught, just stay our of known pirate areas or join a convoy if you have to pass trough them. Carry a shotgun…
  • As you can see in the picture below, the knot on the stitches is always pulled to one side of the stitch. Now the biggest mistake people make is cutting the wire which runs over the cut. That way, when you pull on the knot, a dirty piece of wire is pulled trough your body. Not good. Here's how to do it properly: Grab a…
  • Get laminated first. Even if it doesn't rain, uncovered you'll be all wet and mushy in less than a day because of the moisture. On a more serious note, rule of three: You're dead after three minutes without air, three hours without shelter, three days without water or three weeks without food. And don't forget the rule of…
  • If that program works without needing a backup certificate, EFS has a major loophole / backdoor built in. The only way to decrypt AES encrypted files is with the correct private key. Thus, if that works, either the private keys are stored somewhere on each partition where EFS is used - unencrypted or decryptable by any…
  • Nope. Microsoft EFS uses pretty darn strong encryption. The only way to decrypt those files is trough the private key stored on the user account on your old computer. If you had a lot of time and a lot of computing power (in the sense of years and a supercomputer) you could brute force the private key, but that's not gonna…
  • Check if cron is running, check if cron is actually calling everything in cron.hourly every hour and check if your script is properly named to be called by run-parts ("Filenames should consist entirely of upper and lower case letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens. Subdirectories of directory and files with other names…
  • Earplugs and rest. You need to let your ears rest as much as possible (as in: as little noise as possible, no music, no train riding, no jackhammers etc.) for 72 hours after what is called a "noise attack" in the medical field. And, for fucks sake, wear earplugs next time!
  • Quit overanalysing your relationships / life or you will never, ever, ever, ever be happy.
  • It all depends on what it's supposed to do. This thread is as pointless as a "What's your favorite tool" thread in DIY.

  • It takes a click to check who voted what. I did not click that click and blindly assumed SOTB was born, raised and educated in the good ol' US of A.
  • How are the UK an Ireland not Europe? American education suu-uucks!
  • This pretty much sums it all up.

  • Just right-click it in the partition list and click "resize/move", then you should be able to resize it. But you will have to do it from a live disc, you can't edit an extende partition when you've got mounted logical partitions. And there's nothing wrong with a big windows partition, it's just a waste of space if you…
  • The 100mb NTFS partition at the beginning of your disc should have a boot flag, but it's not set anywhere else so I don't get why it's absent. Try giving it the boot flag (somewhere in the options when you right-click it in gparted). The thing I don't get is why it shows your windows partition as "unknown". It should show…
  • I'm still using Firefox 3.6 and I'm probably gonna keep using that one for a while. It's stable, mature and I'm used to it. Eventually I'll move to FF4 off course, but at the moment I'm perfectly happy with 3.6.17. Not gonna change a winning horse.

  • I'm loving this thread already, and it hasn't even kicked off yet.
  • Gentoo Linux - Installing Gentoo will teach you more about Linux and computers than any other distro (linux from scratch is not a distro). But I haven't touched Gentoo anymore since I discovered Arch Linux (mainly because of the arch wiki - best docs on the net as BaconPie said), which will also teach you a lot. I've still…
  • Yes, you can, with the one caveat mentioned before: swap space is used to store all the data from RAM during hibernation in Linux. So if you want to use hibernation in your primary linux OS, you can't use that same swap space for another distro or your hibernation files will be lost. Not a problem if you don't use…
  • Try installing Gentoo if you want a challenge :D Easy, use the same /boot partition (but DON't format it during the installation, that way the bootloader will be overwritten but the kernel will be saved so your other system is still bootable) and a different root partition. Some installers automatically detect all other…
  • Yes you can. You can also do it during the installation procedure. Both are just gparted, a very goot GUI partitioning tool. When you're in GParted, you'll see your Windows 7 partitions. Usually 2 of them, one of about 100 MB, one however big you decided to make it.* If you need to resize your windows partition, do so…
