Well, the author to the theme & website don't appear to be around anymore. What I could do is find one that is similar. Another thing could be to download a notepad/html program that uses line numbers and correct each line. I'd have to print out the entire report and do it line by line. I really don't know if my patience will hold up though. Today of all days has been a bad and stressful one.

LOL! I have one but don't use it. Only reason is if someone wanted to find me. Long lost friends, if you know what you mean.

Wow, OS/2 was around for that long? Interesting. Yep, I remember SCSI and hated it! MCA, Micro Channel Architecture. It was mainly used in IBM PS/2 machines in the early 90s. Single inline memory Module. It's mostly used in old printers. First computer was a 286 w/o math co. My 286 had a slot for sip memory 4mb.

True, "Dumb MySpace" my thought exactly...

I ran Telegard, Renegade, PCboard, even messed around with WildCat! The main file for OS/2 was the Config.os2, if memory serves me correctly. I used OS/2 til 96. As for the $$$, I was living at home at the time and so I had NO BILLS, but my phone. I worked and still had money left over to do other things. I only ran the bbs on 4 lines for about a year, til I move to Atlanta. Well, in NYC you can get anything you want as long as you have the $$$. It was New York Telephone at the time, then NYNEX, Bell Atlantic and finally Verizon. I miss those days it was alot different. There wasn't really a World Wide Web. Computer hardware was fun, jumpers, dip switches, terminators, sip memory, MCA. I can go on... You really had to earn you A+ back then. Actually, they didn't even have A+ back then.

Thanks for letting me know, unfortuantelly, I'm not that good to repair all of those errors. Most of those came from the theme that I use. Right now, I'm in no way of switching to another one. However, if you have any ideas let me know.

My buddy Kyle bought a used computer for $100. In my opinion he got ripped off. Here's what he got: 15 flat screen crt monitor amd duron 750 512 mb ram cdr burner dvd rom 30 gig hdd Now the problems: One of the memory sticks was bad and the other one is bad too but runs. I'm running MEMTEST86 on it now, for the last 3hr 53mins. The hdd has 11 mb of bad sectors on it. I still have yet to run spinrite on it to really assess the damage to the hdd. All in all he wanted it for school and internet. There is no freaking way he can use this system for internet. But, then again all he does is MYSPACE anyways! Worse case scenerio he can use the left over components for spares. Cheers,

What part of NC? I used to live in Wilmington. Nice town but their TWC Sucks big time over there! Their connections used to go down every single day. I had a monitor setup to look after it. It was 4 months of hell! Glad when my contract was over and I can go to another state to work!

That is an image off of the dshield.org website. Actually, that attack map is holding the entire center column inline. I could replace it. I might just do that. It doesn't present enough info for my taste. We must never forget! I couldn't agree more. If I'm not mistaken it's the 911commissionreport.gov. I believe I have it in there somewhere if I don't I'll add it in. There is a box called "my shared bookmarks" I will be migrating all of those to my site and later eliminating that block all together. Definatelly, I'll put that on my to-do list. Anything and everything to do conspiracies I want to touch on even if briefly. Thanks again for your valued input. Pretty much everything is public except posting in the forums, polls, or surveys. Cheers,

Hello All! I just finished up most of my work on my new website. Check it out and provide some feedback. http://stb575.com Thanks,

Hello All! Noticed on this system that I purchased, QuickPar is slower then hell! On my old AMD XP 2500 w/ 768 Ram, it ran much faster. This screenshot is the only time it ran fast. 99% of the time the "@ xxx" are very low. I'm aware that the amount and size of the files does have a deciding factor. Also, what your CPU is doing. QuickPar is set to take HIGH Priority when it runs. Are there any other programs out there that do the same thing so I can gauge the speed? Thanks,

I had a similar experience with my Endian Firewall. It does the same thing but the password is hidden. You don't see anything no stars no symbols, nothing. All you do see is the blinking curser moving to the right. Figured at first it was a problem. After the second install I figured it out.

Try this on for size. I used to run a 4 line BBS in NYC back in 92. The modems were 16.8 USR HSTs with a 4 port Digiboard running under OS/2 Warp. On top of that I used to have running Frontdoor with Echomail/Netmail server. My monthly phone would ranged from $750 - $1000. That included all 4 lines and long distance with MCI.

If the file is an AVI you can convert it to DVD format with ConvertxtoDVD. If you need to go the other direction from DVD to AVI. You can use DVDzip. Good Luck,

I'd have to agree. After 911, our govt can't be trusted! If the govt wants to track me, they alredy do believe it or not. The CIA has 16 files open and active on EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN. Cheers,

Anonymous OS, I'll have to play around with it. As for this browser, I'll install wireshark and see what kinda traffic it will generates. See what's under the hood.

Sure, because they know that they are BLOATWARE! Another tactic to drive the computer industry and push corps. and users alike to upgrade hardware. Second, with new security measures in place it will change the entire computing world. We saw this coming years ago. TPA, if memory serves me correct. More of corps influencing what we use. More of our rights restricted or eliminated all together. Of course M$ is finally playing catching up. Cheers,

Hello All! Thanks for a few users here with there vast knowledge and information. Here is an example. Eldmannen - Iptables To be a good security & admin professional you need to know "IPTABLES" That's what Linux firewalls are made up under the hood. IPTables is the driving force w/o it you have no firewall. HOWEVER, I'll need to implement a test network in order to learn and execute IPTables effectively. At this point in time. I have my lil network running the way I want it. Rather play it save then sorry and screw something up. Any recommendation on how I can build the test network BUT use my current connection and keep my PRODUCTION network isolated and intact? This project will require alot of time to work out. Humpty - Bold Fortune's guide Here too is another long guide to read and disgust but worth it. All I need for this is to print out the entire guide and read/memorize it. Once I feel I understood it, then I can get a cd-rw and start the process of building the ISO. Another thing Humpty does that I was impressed with is his drive setup. I'd like to have some insight as to how you installed Ghost and made it work for you? Pretty nifty idea, but a smart one. For anyone interested, here is my network layout? Westell 6100(Bellsouth 3m/384k) Port 1 of WRT54GC Win 2k Adv Srv (File Server) Port 2 Supplies 2 network drives that are public to local My workstation Port 3 1 public share to local Why, is the ADSL modem on port 1 of the router and not on the WAN port? You CAN'T access the modem's web interface from the WAN port. Also, the modem at this time is responsible for all functions (firewall, dhcp & ppoe) What I wanted to do was to use ClarkConnect ($295) and it do all of it. From a security standpoint not wise and so I've dropped the idea all together. So Endian Firewall 2.0 will go on another machine. I'll keep the file server right where it is now. Thanks again guys!

Thanks again for your insight. I now have more projects to work on.

Ha! That is a laugh, you didn't work at Citibank....... Always something new going on there when I worked there years ago.

From my observations Explorer is hungry hog! I turn off all of the eye candy, wallpapers. Also, turn on classic look. Another thing is the transparencies and alpha blending. If there is a way to slim it down even more, I'm all ears? Explorer.exe Current, 8,900K, Peak 15,816K Window+Pause/Break Key > Advanced > Settings > Adjust for Best Performance. That will help out alot. Good Luck,

Thanks a Million!!!!!!! For pointing this out. I knew everything we do on the internet is tracked some sort of way, but not this bad. Then again I'm not surprised.

Interesting. Actually the old NT BSOD was more of something to look at. I had a boss that used to have a NT BSOD screen saver. It would look like the machine is crashing and then it reboots. Pretty funny!

Windows Tax, are you freaking kidding me!?!?! Man, another way M$ to make money. What I did was took XP from my Dell and let nLite rip it apart. I don't like XP MCE, I don't use it. Anyways, I took all of the patches and security fixes off of Autopater XP and dropped them right into the integration panel. Next I found all of the drivers my system uses and dropped them into the drivers portion. Later, I removed hardware I wasn't going to use like laptops, or ISDN. Then it was off to removing programs, like MSN Explorer and WMP. Afterward, I removed some services. This is where I think it killed me! I was very care to turn off what I didn't need and make sure there were no dependencies associated with the service. The last part is making the ISO. What I'm planning on doing is purchasing a new fresh copy of xp pro sp2, and work nLite from there. Something in that Dell factory build it didn't like.

Those prices are unbelievable! Solid state memory is expensive. However, the prices will one day drop and solid state memory will be common place. That's problably when I'm 75. Out of interest for me would be a flash drive that you can boot your own os and use portable apps with, 4GB I'd be happy.
