Nope, actually, it's not strictly forbidden by most coutnries. In fact, most countries laws' are pretty vague about this. The only thing you might have grounds on, is violating someone's privacy. Also, I can do with my own machines whatever I want with it. Next to that, using tools like these is pretty interesting and educational. It teaches you both how winXP stores it's passwords, and how they can be recovered from it. rraallvv seemed like he was merely providing an informative post.

So yeah, apparently, google is aiding Yahoo into stopping MS form taking power. It's funny hwo everyone fails to understand how MS is a business just like any other. Just like google is, by the way. Do you honestly think that google all-in-all wants to cover for Yahoo out of solidarity? I assume google doesn't want to see the market share being consumed by Microsoft by absorbing another competitor. In the end, it's business, just like any other. HAs anyone ever witnessed how Altavista was bought and sold in between companies like it was a game of ping-pong? Compaq, CMGI, Overture and eventually Yahoo, have had ownership of AltaVista at some point - even though Altavista was considered to be one of the first, all-out, full-blown search engines on the web.As for Microsoft. It's a decision any healthy company might make. They see an opening, and they're going for it. Can you blame them for it? Yes, I agree, it does suck out the genuine feel of things, it does take away the edge and it does inject a big corporate feel into it. Did you know that internet explorer was in fact developed by another company? Back in the early years of the infamous browser wars, Netscape navigator was one of the bigger players. Spyglass Inc. seemed to have a promising browser themselves, so MS bought it. Years later, Internet explorer is considered one of the most standard (not the best, not at all) browsers out there.

I didn't take me too long to understand the basics. I learned to understand the basics of it through posting on forums a lot when I was 14/15 years old. BBcode et al.My first experiences with HMTL were with frontpage, so it's probably not the best way to start off, but regardless, I learned a lot from that. I can't sy I learned HTML and now consider myself certified or anything (for as much as anyone COULD, anyway), but I can HTML away in notepad. but like someone else mentioned earlier, when table/div tags kick in, I'd rather head over to dreamweaver and css. HTML is just a mark-up language and isn't too hard to learn, but it can serve as a decent basis to start looking into low-level, decent programming languages.

Sounds purely hardware, to me. If you had an average of 25-30 degrees, and just recently went up to 70-80 degrees, then there's something seriously wrong. Something seems to be out of orde on the cooling part. My old laptop had never been "un-dusted" after a few years of daily use. When I started noticing performance problems as well, I decided to install Notebook hardware control. My average temp. of around40 to 45 had also run up to 80 and up. Opened it up and the entire area around the PSU was clogged up with dust. Cleaned it out and used canned air to clean it out. put everything back together, booted and it ran smoothlier than ever before.

I've got my own intel centrino pro santa rosa HP laptop(2ghz):2 gb RAM, 128 dedicated mb Nvidia140 GB HDwin vista home premium15 inchLaptop have from work:Intel core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.20 GHz3 GB RAM256 dedicated mb gfx 160 GB HD17 inchWin Vista BusinessFamily computer, not quite sure. Just has 1 GB of RAM, 120 HD, 128 mb memory card.Then there's the remains of my old desktop, which has been pillaged and plundered for parts and stuff. Thinking of turning it into a small time homeserver. A NAS server if it's too difficult to turn it into a server.As for preference, I don't really care. I just want quality for my money. I have nothing against macs, but I absolutely LOATHE the fanbois that come with Macs. You kow, the kind that sits at starbucks with their shiny white expensive MAC. The kind that looks down on a PC user, because they're not as fasionable.

Awesome. I once accidentally deleted my desktop icon thingum. I tried to restore it by making a new icon, and redirecting it to the document and settings/desktop folder. Alas, it only opened the desktop folder in explorer. Never really found out how to restore it. Drove me nuts because I figured it would be a -somewhat- easy to find function. Thanks for sharing!

Install a stats plug-in. Look at your visitors. Look where they're from. Is it really just your friends? Do you plan to put your blog "out there" in the world?You'd be surprised how people might wind up on your site... an essential piece of software to go with adsense is a visitors status checker. Something that logs where your visitors are from, where they came from (backlink, page, search engine...), how they stayed, what pages are popular, etc... And through that, refine your google adwords. Not just letting them "sit there". What I find frustrating though, is the wait time to be accepted into google adsense. They say " one, to two working days", while it usually took more than a week in my case. Makes you think your request got lost somewhere... However, as to the OP, I'm really curious as to how much people actually earn per month. I'm not asking what the average is, I'm asking what people actually earn and on what site...?

FIREFOX. I love FireFox. It's actually changed my surfing habits, my computer habits, study methods, etc... It's not just the program, but the open-source mindset and the community around it that benefit to it to make it better. I'm talking about themes, extensions, greasemonkey scripts, etc... Another great piece of "free software" is Wordpress. I always used Nucleus for blogging, so I was a little impartial and skeptic about Wordpress, but I gave it a spin anyways. What's so great about Wordpress is the same thing I like about FireFox, the open-source, sharing community, themes, plug-ins... that make Wordpress able to become a traffic magnet to be reckoned with. Other than that, I use Ccleaner on a near daily basis and it's kept my laptop running smooth and problem free for the past year.

That'd be a funny sight for a war, because the backbone of an army on a warpath, are it's resources.Without oil, there'd be no war. Perhaps we'd digress to sticks and stones, hehe.

Most of Europe is dependent of Russia when it comes to oil. So, if a European country, organization or whatnot would find the means to create an efficient, water powered car, who'd care about Russia, or the United Arabian Emigrates or whichever-oil-supplying country? I do agree that governments should get their fingers out of their asses, but I don't like people shouting at the top of their lungs that governments are to blame for everything. A lot of Belgian farmers-from what I know-are using biofuel (gases created from chemical reactions of certain grown crops), but on a small scale because the production method is simply too expensive, same with solar panels... The type of energy source that would be the most revolutionary is one where the output > input. (Dune, anyone?) So water is probably fit for this, after all, we live on a blue planet. There are multiple ways to create energy from water, not just from the dynamics of water (water+turbine=power), but merely from the temperature differences in the ocean. In my humble opinion, it's not just the governments that are holding back on the development, but companies that are making this development so damn expensive. The methods and research are out there, the money ain't.

Yeah, the Mythbusters got it narrowed down pretty darn well. They even established a world record by creating the largest mentos-and-coke-induced-fountain ever. It was a combination of both certain ingredients in diet coke and mentos. They simply extracted most of the ingredients from a diet coke, and put them in separate bottles,pulling the old "Sherlock Holmes test of elimination". They concluded that a few ingredients were the cause of the massive reaction, but I can't say for sure which ones. But as mentioned before, it's also because of nucleation. When zoomed into, a mentos has the surface of a golf ball, with little craters in it. A chain reaction from millions of these craters is triggered when cast into coke, causing the ray of water to burst from the bottle. It does take a certain brand, and the authentic mentos though, and a single mentos can be sufficient. The Mythbusters enhanced the effect by adding an extension on the bottle that would narrow the ray, thus increasing power, causing the coke to actually burst up for quite a height. (it blew over their workshop)

Doesn't work for me though. In firefox it just takes me to the google page for search results. Probably a good thing, right? I didn't bother to test it in Iexplorer, though.

Great article by m^e! I love the fact that this community is not only built on providing top nothc quality hosting, but offers rich content on the side. I'm seriously considering placing adsense on my site. I've read dozens of articles and reports on how to strategically place them but none of them cover what m^e revealed. Awesome!

I remember the first years the cell phone entered the commercial consumer's market. Only rich and/or snobby people had cell phones (big ugly huge ones the size of a lunchbox too xD). A phone ringing in public, and someone picking it up and talking to it was weird for a little while too. Now look at this situation. Even my 10yr old nephew has a cell phone. I had one since I was 16. It'll eventually evolve into society.

I don't see ezine is the article link directory? Any reason why? From what I've understood so far, it's an industry standard for article writers, ghost writers, etc...
