We know, we know, Vista is still full of bugs.

VNC.

"Hey! Look at me! I'm trying to leech Google's bandwidth and make it 'charitable'!" No thanks.

Not a problem. Fill it past the 128Gb mark just to be sure.

Don't forget that security vulnerabilities depend on many factors including the current configuration at the time. If you allow scripting, activex, downloads, etc. for all sites of course you will soon be infected, since that is how most of the exploits work. If you 'opened up' FireFox, you'd see pretty much the same result.

Why that keyfinder was developed was because 2K+ product keys were in binary form.Win9x/ME product keys are in plaintext under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion.

There are two versions of 1.8" drives. It appears you have what is known as the "IDE" connector version, with the pins on the side http://www.hgst.com/hdd/support/c4k60_ce/c4k60_ce.htm There is a ZIF version, which has small pins on the end and accepts a ribbon cable, and a "micro ATA" version with holes instead of pins. iPods have used both the ZIF and micro ATA connectors. BTW, here is the 100Gb one: http://sdd.toshiba.com/main.aspx?Path=8182...000659c00002fdb

A definitive Yes.

Learn some basic reverse-engineering. Find the window titles, the pointers to them, then move the strings to a more empty space and change them, then change the pointers to point to the new string.

Off or sleep, it's much the same thing. The point is that the lid switch sends a signal to the OS which then decides what to do.

The format.exe/format.com from DOS/Win9x doesn't work on XP?

The reason for the bloat is because they decided to make it cross-platform. Generality decreases efficiency. I haven't had any problems with a secured IE6... if you do you must be doing something wrong.

What FDISK are you using?

I have fixed the 2GB+ copy limitation at its root, by fixing the kernel itself (which contains the flawed API _llseek). I recommend the use of the fixed kernel and v5 browse* files. See Copy2Gb link in my signature for more information.

Yes they should. But... why 98FE?

RS-DOS? What kernel is that?

but the computer isn't turned off at all. power/hd/network/num/caps leds are on on working... Broken lid switch? The screen is supposed to turn off, but so is the computer.

I tend to keep the battery topped up on my laptop as I usually use the AC adapter, but I've gotten 8 hours of continuous use once... Lion batteries don't reallly have as great of a memory effect as e.g. Nickel cadmium batteries, but they can usually be deep-cycled with no problems.

Try it. OC, then if Windows can boot, run a stress program like BURNK7 from the CPUBURN collection. Watch the temperature. Stop the test immediately if it goes above 70°.

Delete NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM, and BOOT.INI. Re-run XP setup.

I meant the *original* iPod (largest one), not the smaller mini/nano/etc.NetMan66 is correct, the smaller one (mini?) uses a 1" CF MicroDrive. The two images you have there are of two completely different types of 1.8" drives. The first is probably what your laptop uses, i.e. the standard end-connector type. The second is the side-connector type, like the 1" CF microdrive.

I don't know why every major open-source software seems to gradually get more bloated and less compatible. I'll keep my IE 6.

Quite the contrary."NTLDR is missing" means the drive is partitioned and working, only it was formatted with NT (and likely NTFS) so it contains the standard NT bootsector which looks for and loads NTLDR. If it was formatted in DOS/9x, the similar message would be "Invalid system disk.\nReplace the disk, and then press any key." Recommendation: Repartition with FDISK and format with FORMAT.

Do you know what ports on the hardware control the LCD brightness? Tried direct writing to the hardware?

That is normal. My laptop does the same thing.You're supposed to press the Power button after opening the lid. Basically, the lid doesn't act as a power switch, and needs the software to check its state (that's why it can turn *off* the computer, but never *on*).
