[How long should passwords be?]

Windows doesn't use LM hash for passwords >15 characters.

It's better to have passphrases, with a symbol or high-ascii (ex: alt-255) combination thrown in to really throw off hackers.

Here are some excellent references on good passwords:

[NFSU Ride Screenshots]

How do you take screenshots when you are playing NFSU2 on a PS2?

video capture card? I believe there's a PS2 emulator somewhere on the net

[[HELP] Is there a Mouse Cursor's parameter exist?]

The mouse cursor change is done thru the mouse driver software. It normally is a call to a function to load a specific pattern, and that pattern can be user supplied or a default within the mouse driver. Examples of default mouse patterns (shape) are: text mode cursor, hand cursor, arrow pointer, hourglass, etc.

The effect you need/want could be made, even when I have never seen an application doing what you say. Out of my mind I can only conceive an app that would monitor the memory area where the current mouse shape is stored and take action if that particular shape changed. I would need to consult tech documents regarding this, but I believe it could be possible. I would not give a definitive answer until I can verify for this.

[[Tools] Unattended Programs]

Getcd.exe is a utility to get the letter of the first CD-ROM drive in the system. This is useful during the applications phase of a unattended CD-ROM installation, because you don't always know which drive letter the CD-ROM will get. The program simply writes the drive letter (including colon) to the output stream. To insert the drive letter into an environment variable, you can use the following from a batch file:

for /f "Tokens=*" %%a in ('getcd.exe') do set cdrom=%%a

After running this command, you can refer to the CD-ROM drive using the %cdrom% environment variable. If you're not running the command from a batch file, use replace %% with % in the above command.

[How often are you on this forum?]

I have to say 10-12. This is one of the "mandatory" sites I must go each morning. During the day, when I can I log in to check on new posts. This board is so active!

[Opera And Firefox]

Warning for opera users:

Going to that page crashes the browser. :/

RU using a beta? That's the only reason I could think it could crash on that page. I use Opera almost all the time [when not using FF ] and so far it has never crashed on me.

[who wants gmail?]

@phoenix_nf

How do you get the invitation links? I have 4 invites (of 6), but the only way I can invite someone is to have their email, and send it thru the gmail interface.

[Method U use for Application Install?]

I started using CMD files, then switched to RunOnceEx. When Xplode got out, I waited a while then converted. Up to this day that's what I still use for my installs.

[Why do people dislike ME]

for my experience me is the worst os from m$ (including win3.1 and win1.0)

4 me it was the same. The only "old" OS stable enough to still use it on low-profile PCs would be WFW 3.11 for really, really old PCs and Windows 98 SE. I wouldn't install anything else from MS, then I would go upwards starting with Windows 2000, next XP Pro, then 2003. The other ones are just "crapware".

[What is the difference between Win98 & WIn98 SE?]

98SE is more stable than previous 98 versions

I know it's an old post, but any search can also be implemented in Opera as I describe here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...indpost&p=79425

[Stolen Computer Program?]

If you have the laptop VNC client connect to your server, I would recommend to monitor the connection for a while to try to get as much information as possible from the person using the laptop. That way you could easily go to that person's door with a police officer and get back your computer. Thru telnet you could initiate a logging program in the laptop to get as much info as possible from these guys. Not really something illegal since its your sister's computer and you have her authorization, right?

[Ask-Reply Game]

I go with Skin(ning). That way you can customize whatever to your particular taste, not the taste of the designer.

Your computer is a:

work tool or entertainment device?
