    Anti-Virus to become obsolete.

    in Malware Prevention and Security

    Posted · Edited by Blam-O!

    No problem, I already sent PM to rhytmandsmoke about his demo, I am in fact quite interested.

    I want to say few things first.

    I HAVE NOT seen the demo yet. So it is my opinions, not anything based on facts.

    The product/concept is NOT new. However all previous products for exec lockdowns were not suitable for real life use. So I am really interested how this will work. When I saw previous products, they were GREAT for lockdowns (very secure computers), but NOT for home users and normal company workstations.

    I used this sometimes for kiosk based PCs or public PCs, now I am using SAFER for locking them down.

    So this concept is NOT bad - however it depends on implementation. It wont replace AV - it is just another kind of security soft.

    I am looking for ADS modification software for a long time, which is something quite similar. When you download something from the web, some informations are stored in ADS (from where, which security zone etc.) and I would like to see something similar to this in network environment.

    So I am kindly asking the members in this thread - dont criticize before you see. For most people this security concept is new. If rhytmnsmoke would try to sell it to us, it would be something different, however he is only trying to allow us to see it.

    Which is ideal case :) Because it is for sure (IMHO) kernel based app, we could develop our open source product similar to his :) I really appreciated what he does - and I think it is quite similar to Microsoft providing webcasts/live meeting demos for their beta products.

    Let us see how it looks like.

    Let us try the shareware version afterwards.

    Let us buy it if it will be interesting for us.

    Well Said and I Agree! :)

    How To Save A QuickTime "*.mov" File...

    in Software Hangout

    Posted

    QuickTime Pro allows you to save a *.mov file. But the Free un-registered version doesn't, and with that said sometimes even the Pro version won't allow you to download the file due to copy protection rights.... Example: would be if you wanted to download and keep a movie trailer. Apple has quite a lot of movie trailers to watch for free - Apple - Movie Trailers.

    When you click on the link to watch a *.mov file via QuickTime, the program will simply download the entire *.mov file to your %temp% dir. But it is protected by Windows/QuickTime with some kind of a annoying "Do Not Touch" protection!?

    This website will show in different ways to get around that annoyance, and it's legal too! (well at least i think it is...)

    "Some movies can be viewed online, but not saved to disk for later viewing. The inevitable result of this is that if you view a movie online and wish to view it again later, you must download it again, wasting network bandwidth and your time. For people with slow connections, download caps, or usage charges, this is an even greater problem."

    Thanks for the note. Yes, the File-Save As... option is quite useful.

    You may have noticed that the movies from Apple often have _480.mov

    at the end of the file name. These are usually the reference

    movies. The originals have an m before the 480: _m480.mov.

    The new "iTunes full screen" movies have file names ending in _ifs.mov.

    Ciao,

    Do you mean like a ScreenShot? use Gadwin PrintScreen v2.6+ for that.

    If you want to edit the file directly i use a program called AVI-MPEG-RM-WMV Joiner v4.81+. Or i use sometimes ethier Ulead VideoStudio or Pinnacle Studio 8.

    Also Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Premiere Elements should do the trick.

    From what i read on ACDSee Features it was not meant for what you are trying...

    don't know if that answered that question though?? :}

    :( , you FANBoys kill everything fun......

    you take something simple and turn it around backwards out soo much that it is no longer consderd FUN to anyone anymore....

    I won't even bother quoting your comments, this thread is way too long and is becoming exhausting to read and reply back to..... with that said :whistle: .....

    .... I like PS, Xbox, Nintendo, Sega, Atari, heck i even like some games on the MAC OS!!

    But I don't HATE/LOVE anyone of them to the point that i revolve my life around it. (exp> star wars freaks)

    All the above systems i mentioned above and others;

    all added something to the gaming industry. Whether it was a lot or even a little is an entire thread in itself :)

    The main point is, relaxe guys, i was only giving *my opinion*, not the whole worlds :rolleyes:

    As much fun is it is to comment on these opinions and facts/theories about this 'Who is Better' when it comes to games will never end. There is a lot to throw on the table from many different sources and *opinions*. All in all i still think Nintendo could do much better at what they do - bottom line~.

    Conclusion:

    If you have fun playing it, enjoy it, and like it to the extent that even though you paid $$ for it, you still like it - that is a game worth having and keeping. imo.

    Also find out the exact mobo that comes with the case, should you decided to go with this after the critisim that has been level against the above system so far.

    Research that mobo, find reviews on it, seek other ppls opinions, becuase at the end of the day if the mobo is a heap of s**t then no matter whizzy gear you have plugged into it, it will be a crap computer. The mobo is the backbone of any computer and if it keeps falling over and crashing every couple of hours or is prone to failure after a couple of month (unlikely with todays mobos) then your computer is worthless.

    Get a good motherboard and build from there!

    a very good point that i forgot to mention.... :whistle:

    research, research, research, research!!!

    I truly wish to see such software work, and am more openminded than I appear.

    It's just that he's saying trust me, it's a wonderful thing. But he's only willing to "demo" it in a tightly controlled envirionment.

    I'm simply calling his bluff. And BTW, if it isn't for sale, so why bother advertising?

    Oh, that's right, he only sells to big mega corporations, because they are the only ones who are smart enough to use it......

    That's also an absurd arguement, after all, look at all the work we've done to make windows installations easier and faster. Noooooo, we don't think outside the box at all....... so there's no way we'd even consider something better.

    So he is INSULTING us, why not bust his chops back? He better take it if he's gonna dish it out :realmad:

    PUT UP OR SHUT UP rhythmnsmoke

    I can see that point of view... so where is the proof? I am willing to listen IF i see it...

    So, even though we can't have demo software to play with, can we atleast buy some of the company's stock?  :D

    sweet! :D

    Well Im a gaming person and i dont want their $h1t load of music players and dvd players, they are turning the future PS3 into like some vcr that plays games. not to mention how much it will cost.

    i totally agree with you on that one, I hate Sony's Proprietary sh1t just as much or more! (but there CD mp3 players are great and low cost with avg sound quality)

    I think Sony is trying to hard to come up with ideas for the PS3 in a way that they want to make an ALL IN ONE Home Ent. device. Which might be cool for some ppl who don't have anything else or want a PC, but I for one is a gamer too, and i don't want an all in one piece of crap i paid $300.00+ for.... I just want to play games. Sony should stick to one thing, making games and improving them.

    Nintendo is the 1st company you should talk about concerning the industry because, they are the only ones making money. while Sony and Microsoft(doesnt affect em much) loose money. and Sony doesnt touch the average adult gamer either.

    Really, then why is Sony so successful at selling Playstation? Why do they have better games and have out sold XBox and Nintendo?

    if they dont understand the importance of online gaming, then why will the DS have wifi connection + Hotspots? Gamecube can go online, im sure of it because i did it. you just dont know how. thats all.

    Not out of the box it can't, and how many 7yr olds can hack a Nintendo? (just wait for the year 2010 - it will happen, lol)

    Why would I want to waste my time adding a net connection to a consol i won't use :)

    they also have complex games that are challenging. lets see, Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess which is coming soon, Tales Of Symphonia, etc. you just dont know unless you know alot about Nintendo, ive known about sony, i had a ps1 and ps2, i threw them away because they are worthless junk.

    LOL - "Twilight Princess which is coming soon." Then how do you know? (hehe)

    i wouldn't consider Legend of Zelda a challenging complex game, maybe a very long frustrating game.... but a good long frustrating game for kids...

    I grew up around Nintendo, played Nintendo, and had many games for Nintendo. Nintendo was my second best friend growing up.... so how could you say i don't know Nintendo? get real man, are you pro active Nintendo or something /}~*?

    You threr away your PS's??!!!! You don't know quality when you see it. :o

    if sony lost most of their 3rd party developers, Sony is out of the gaming industry. on the other hand i think Microsoft is doing pretty well since they are a computer type company. maybe some day microsoft might kick Nintendo out of the competition, but im sure Sony couldnt.

    Granted, if any company lost all thier 3rd party developers or even some of them they would not be able to do much of anything, hence it takes more then one company to make a full game ;)

    So you say M$ can kick out Nintendo, but not Sony? Well that could go both ways really, but funny how all of a suden your support for Nintendo has gotten smaller :P

    and what do you mean they dont know the importance of consoles rather than playing games, look at the DS, no other gaming handheld can use a touch screen.

    think about it.

    Honestly the touchscreen pad has a slow response and eats up more batteries. On top of that most gamers don't seem to be interested in that feature, touchscreen while playing a game is unconvenient. IMO

    The sony PSP has a much better screen and layout of the software, not to forget the functionality it has so greatly to offer, not including the price tag of course.....

    and look at the future consoles, eveyone is already picking what they want thats coming out at the end of this year and next year and everyones already deciding what to get based on specs. dry.gif

    System specs don't really prove anything when it comes to consols.... just look at the XBOX and compare it to the PS2, compare the PS2 to the GameCube, you still get a decent picture even though the GameCube uses a "Flipper" chip whistling.gif

    ~~ GPU Speed ~~

    GameCube: 202.5MHZ

    PS2: 147.456MHZ

    XBOX: 233MHZ

    and oh yea, just because a group amount of people think Nintendo "sucks" doesnt mean they really suck, same with me, even though i think Sony sucks doesnt mean they really suck, i just KNOW Nintendo is more better =P.

    LOL, ok so you really like your buddy Nintendo, big deal! I really like PC games. But just because someone pokes fun of a system, title or what not, you say;

    ok that almost p***ed me off right there, people always pick on nintendo just because they dont like games that are for E=EVERYONE not KIDDY.

    dude you need some anger managment laugh.gif

    and for what reason does Nintendo "suck" these days? due to these new "violent" & "non-kiddy" games that dont come in with the GC?

    No, violent games are not what i consder to be a great game....

    Sony gives us, the gaming people, what we want - for the most part. Unlike the same boring ideas from a stale company nintendo.

    Nintendo may have been one of the longest trends I have ever seen in the gaming industry.....

    "However, nintendo is the last company you would want to talk to concerning the industry. They are not in touch with the average, adult gamer. They do not understand the importance of online gaming. They do not understand the importance of consoles that do more than play games. They do not understand the importance of deep, complex and challenging games."

    .......

    "They believe quick, shallow and simple games, fun for all ages, is what the market wants. That’s fine, for Nintendos market."

    - http://www.gamersmark.com/editorials/view/139/

    lol, could not have said it better myslef!

    The gaming people are getting bored of "nintendo games". Maybe if see something impressive with the new codename "revolution", then just maybe i'll get one when i have kids later on... maybe.

    Long story short:

    Nintendo did make some really great "cool kiddy games"; Samus, Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong. StarFox was ok too.

    But not to forget that horrible barney box looking thing with a purse handle.... yuck!

    No iam not pro anything really, well except PC games.... ha. But every consol has a great feature and is missing some great features as well.

    "The main point is, Nintendo continues to come up with stupid move after stupid move, backed up by retard reasoning and more retard reasoning."
