Why so much HD space? Because one episode of your average animé is about 250MB. Throw in a few gigs of music and pictures, Windows and whatever flavour of Linux I'm currently screwing with, backups, and other junk, and you've used up quite a bit of space.

Alright, thanks. That Autologin program says it only works on NT/2K though.

Yep. Now all you Windows XP users can have your uptime, HD/memory/CPU usage, and calendar on your desktop like you see in all them Linux screenshots. And that's not all! Click here to read the full feature list and download the program. (It's beta, BTW, so there's still some things missing... like an interface. But it's still fully usable if you know how to edit the registry, and even if not, you can still get some basic use out of it. ) BTW, yes, those colours do make the text hard to read, but they're optional. You can use whatever colours you want.

Be careful using programs like TightVNC. It's not really suited for spying. Last time I tried, it popped up the preferences window on every login to let people set a password.

In the System control panel, I can choose to either have DEP only on critical components, or on everything except certain programs. Is it possible to have it only on critical components plus certain programs? I want programs like Gaim and Firefox to be protected, but I don't want it applied to everything since it would slow the system way down.

jusched.exe is the Java update scheduler, AFAIK. Though viruses do like to take on the names of legit programs. I can't see why a virus would turn DEP on though. *kicks the Enter key*

No such luck. They want a password to connect, and won't accept any.

I've encountered two strange problems when using LoadImage and TransparentBlt: 1) When using LoadImage, if I specify a width and height of 0 (use the image's actual size), it works alright, but if I speicfy an actual size, all pixels of colour FF0000 (RGB) are replaced with FE0000. I'm not sure if it does this to every colour, or just red, but it's strange... 2) Using TransparentBlt, if I pass values greater than the image's width/height for source width/height, the function fails entirely (error 87, invalid parameter). Is it possible to get an image's dimensions after loading it? Seems like one of those things that should be really simple but is in fact incredibly complicated if not impossible. Like most things in Windows' API. [edit] Haha! I finally found a way to get the image's dimensions. BITMAPINFO bm; bm.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof(bm.bmiHeader); //Set the size bm.bmiHeader.biWidth = 0; //These 2 lines can be omitted, but then if the function fails, bm.bmiHeader.biHeight = 0; //these will be set to some random garbage. bm.bmiHeader.biBitCount = 0; //This needs to be zero ImageBMP = LoadImage(NULL,FName,IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE); //Load the image OldImageBMP = SelectObject(ImageDC,ImageBMP); if(!OldImageBMP) DebugOut(DO_MINOR,"<randimg> Failed to select image bitmap\n"); DebugOut(DO_STATUS,"<randimg> Created image bitmap: BMP=0x%08X OLD=0x%08X\n",ImageBMP,OldImageBMP); GetDIBits(ImageDC,ImageBMP,0,0,NULL,&bm,DIB_RGB_COLORS); ImageWidth = bm.bmiHeader.biWidth; ImageHeight = bm.bmiHeader.biHeight; The documentation for GetDIBits says not to select the bitmap into a DC, but it also asks for a DC so I'm not sure what to make of that. It seems to work whether you select it or not. So this basically works around both problems (no need to specify dimensions in LoadImage, and can use the image's exact height in TransparentBlt), but I'd still like to know what causes them.

It's not under downloads, though.

Nice. The pan flute flow chart is also funny:

That's why you need to make more. TinyURL links might trick them too. Here's another which also generates real endings.

Haha, I put in George Bush and it showed a monkey. Also it has my IP address under Location Issued.

What "Happy Bunny" phrase are you? My Results: you bite big time You focus your life around food. You need to get out more. Happy Bunny pwns.

My name is too long.

3 million was just a made up number. The point is there is a maxiumum to how fast an electric CPU can be, and anything faster in an otherwise-electric system won't see any speed gain.

[edit] Got the names figured out, but then there's this... Where in the heck am I supposed to find a calendar ID? The only mention I see of them is here, but for that I'd have to already know which calendar is being used, which kinda defeats the point.

Bleh. It crashed again, twice in a row. Guess it wasn't MPC's fault after all. >_<

That doesn't really answer my question. I already have the network set up, I just want to tweak it a bit. (I'd actually remove Network Neighbourhoood from Venus's desktop and just not use it.)

Ah, thanks. It doesn't seem to be linked on the grisoft.com at all. (Wonder why? )

I know there used to be a free version of AVG's Anti-virus. I know that because I'm running it right now. But when I went to install it on another computer, it said the installer was out of date. The only ones available for download are a trial and something that wants a serial number. Where's the free version?

Conveniently enough, both of those are the same extension.

Hm, another odd problem has appeared. On Venus, if I type \\Mercury in the Run box, I can access the directories (but if I try to open one, sometimes I get an error message, other times it works...). However, if I go to it in Network Neighbourhood, it says the device doesn't exist on the network. I can access all of Venus (except \Windows) fine from Mercury, though it lists an inaccessible 'shareddocs' that doesn't seem to exist. Also, is it possible to not share a folder when the folder it's in is shared?

Pepsi has less acid than Coke, which is nice. But it really depends which flavour... Canned Vanilla Coke > Pepsi Twist > Bottled Vanilla Coke > Cherry Coke > Pepsi > Coke. (Bottled and Canned VC do have distinctly different flavours. )

Very cool, but one thing that people don't seem to realize is that light could be too fast... computers use mostly electricity to operate. Imagine if you took an ordinay computer and put in, say, a 3,000,000 GHZ CPU. The CPU would actually have to spend just about all its time waiting for the memory to recieve and return a signal. Not a very efficient process!
