Yes it is secure as what happenes is this First run 000000000000 2nd run 4gv3h904hgw4 4th run 000000000000 3rd run 32r98hg43g[34 and so forth, the reason i brought up encryption is that is one of the main causes people zero out their hard drive. but beware this method takes a while to run then just running it once, which the NSA has said 32 times is best as most NON government software can't read that far down and they actually have to take the drive to the labs and take them apart to read that far . but the commands again (32times in 1 shot if i can recall my bash scripting) NOTE: DO NOT RUN THIS IT WILL WIPE OUT YOUR HARD DRIVE BEYOND THE POINT OF RECOVERY #!/bin/bash$DRIVE = /dev/sda # change this to your hard drive you wanna erase$COUNT = 0while [ $COUNT -lt 16 ] : do dd if=/dev/zero of=$DRIVE && dd if=/dev/urandom of=$DRIVE COUNT = $[$COUNT+1]donedd count=1 bs=1024 if=/dev/zero of=$DRIVE # erase the first 1megabyte to clear the MBR and partition tableEDIT: save as blah.sh and and chmod +x it so you can run it, and run it as root and goto sleep and when you wake up it will be cleared. (i had a guy double check the script for me) it will erase your hard drive 32 times and clear out the MDR and partations of any garbage the last urandom did

Have you tried updating your CDRW's firmware? Simplest way I know: Open up imgBurn Choose "Write files/folders to disc" this will allow you to enter the drive options Then goto Tools->Drive->Check for Firmware Updates It will tell you your current firmware version save it in notepad or write it down on a piece of paper Click cancel(you click ok, it doesn't do a proper search) Then go back to tools->drive and goto Regional Code->Information this will tell you your drive make/model/and a bunch of other stuff) goto http://www.rpc1.org/ on the left hand side you will see a search box search for your drive and it should come up with a list of supported firmware and usually the latest version as well.. download and flash DISCLAIMER: yada yada risk bricking drive yada yada I am Xisto is not responsible in the event of bricking so flash at own risk yada yada (tho i have done this my self and it is pretty painless)

I like it, granted I havn't played that much but all in all I think it shows some things that the UT engine can do and what we can expect from later UT Engines I like glitches, get a few friends over and push the game to the limits, find secrets in the maps, etc. there are some points where they get annoying, like in a real game, but just for kicks and giggles and a few friends in split screen(or lan of playing the PC version) they are over all fun.

huh it is working here now.. *waited ~24hours*... slow DNS update, usually for me it takes about 5-6hrs, even tho it says 24.. ohh well, mod can lock this post

For the best programs and what not, use DC++ (ports for both Windows and Linux)and a good bittorrent client, uTorrent for Windows and Deluge for Linux, also find a good private tracker.Deluge and uTorrent as the 2 main clients for me as they are allowed on most private torrent sites and usually have no problems(when you join a site like that BE SURE TO READ THE FAQ and use the clients that are not on the ban list).If you just want to leech then check out mininova, but that is what is great about private trackers is you have up upload what you download(or seed for 72hrs straight) so all files will have 1-2 seeders.

umm it has been too long since i last used kde, sorry outta ideas then, but i swear there is where it was :/ guess i am losing it... open a root terminal and typeecho $PATHis /sbin listed? if not add it, if it is, do ls /sbin and see if it is there, if so chmod +x /sbin/shutdownif not there... then OpenSUSE phails

you want zypper instead of apt-get in Konqueror did you try looking in the tools->Konquror settings? IIRC that is where it is (I don't have KDE sitting in front of me :/ sorry) Well did you check your path?Usually this command is only for super users and it is stored in /sbin, but even if you do add the path to $PATH you may not be able to run it as a normal user.

It seems my site is not coming up, I use my own domain name and have set the nameservers and I even just double checked it. I am getting this error message Error: Requested content 'gr33nn1nj4.com/' cannot be accessed. Server data timeout.(and www. respectively), I double checked to make sure I didn't mistype my domain name by double checking the account info ( the stuff it said to save after making the account ) any ideas on how to resolve this?

Ok, people there is a trick on the flashback mission, ala the sniper mission. When going to the LZ you will pass a pool with some dogs in it.. DON'T KILL THE DOGS, if you don't bother them or fire your gun they will leave you alone. When you get to the LZ face where they will be coming from and put ALL your claymores on the right side. Go back behind the farris wheel and wait, the dogs will kill the ones from the left and you have more claymores on the right then normal slowing them down in that direction (yes the AI is awesome in that level)

xboxrulz: This is actually why I used to suggest people get the old(like the pre2006) Gentoo LiveCD and just do a simple install, they didn't have to keep it installed. After they did that I suggested that use Fedora or Debian or whatever else they want. This way they have a decent understanding of their hardware and knows how to move around the Linux system. I would tell them how to boot up and get on IRC and walk them through the Gentoo handbook. Which actually turned out good as if they got a error message like Xorg failing to start, no audio driver loaded, etc. they would know how to fix it (NOTE: I don't recommend this anymore simply it is too much work for me to walk people through it )

Dude, thank for for the firewall tip, I have been using BlackICE as it was the most lightweight firewall I could find, but this seems it will do the trick. Srsly. Why do they make anti-whatever and firewalls as flashy as they can? It seems you really can't find a lightweight firewall/antivirus anymore. By lightweight I mean no skin support, uses the native OS theme, no extra features, and does one thing and does it well (You know.. that is a lot like the Unix philosophy :/) EDIT: :3 ~1,800KB ram usage... it is.. so lightweight and has some of the best rule editing only problem is on the about page you click their homepage it uses IE instead of your default browser.. but all in all it is awesome.. thank you again!

What do y'all mean by text based? Like old skool Adventure(classic BSD game , srsly.. get the dragonfly bsd live cd and boot just to play it..) or like RPG web games where you just choose someone to attack and click the button and it does everything?In both cases it is a viable solution, as you can use C#/VB.NET with ASP.NET allowing you to easily write the back end for the game and not have to worry about PHP exploits on certain include statements and other PHP sploits. (granted it opens a new range but if you do it right none of that would ever be a problem)The first game I talked about what you would need todo is have 2 text boxes one for input one for output, and just read the input and process it and output the correct reactions.The 2nd one, You will need a database to store everything in, for the database backend my I suggest C# and LINQ?(linq allows a programmer to access/read/write to a database in native C# syntax tho it is only for .NET 3.5) and have it managing the users and their stats. For either one look into Microsoft Expression 2 as it has full support for ASP.NET/AJAX/ and coding the pages backend in C#/VB.NET

(on topic of OP)When I wipe hard drives, I use a live linux cd/floppy (a linux floppie should work as most of them will have dd and the device tree) and do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/<hard drive> then collow it with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<hard drive>, I do that a couple of times esp if I am setting up a encrypted partition, that way if they try to look at the drive down some layers all they see is garbage or null bytes.

I prefer Eset Smart Security(think NOD32 + firewall + antispam) for the all around protection, it is lightweight, has a awesome firewall, and is very easy to use.My second would be Avast!4 as it is free and supports themes(which is great if you have a custom desktop), they also have a Linux client out, which is good cause as Linux popularity increases more and more viri writers will start targeting it for their new viruses.

In linux, if your pc supports booting from USB, you can dd the image to the USB drive (and IIRC there is a dd program for Windows but I do not know if you can dd a file to a USB drive) dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/<USB Drive> There is another method that most people say use which is installing syslinux on the USB drive, I have never been able to get this to work. But to get you sstarted with the syslinux method: First extract the ISO, this can be done with, as stated above, WinRAR or mounting to a loopback drive in *nix. then you can pretty much follow this guide http://knoppix.net/wiki3/index.php?title=Bootable_USB_Key
