  1. NTpasswd is a great linux distro i use, and that's probably the one you're thinking of. It can be found here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Overview: # This is a utility to (re)set the password of any user that has a valid (local) account on your Windows NT/2k/XP/Vista etc system. # You do not need to know the old password to set a new one. # It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a floppydisk or CD or another system. # Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts! # There is also a registry editor and other registry utilities that works under linux/unix, and can be used for other things than password editing. How and Why? NT stores its user information, including crypted versions of the passwords, in a file called 'sam', usually found in \windows\system32\config. This file is a part of the registry, in a binary format previously undocumented, and not easily accessible. But thanks to a German(?) named B.D, I've now made a program that understands the registry. This site provides CD and floppy images for end users to easily edit their forgotten passwords. But it also provides full source code and binary builds of the tools to allow others to use as they like for other purposes. Registry format documentation also available.

  2. woo hoo! sorta off topic, sorry, but i just upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.0 =)I like it much better than 5.0
  3. I apologize but I cannot remember the names of any of the companies that offer this service. I have a really bad memory, hence the nickname I would assume this would be profitable with the knowledge of any 2 languages keeping in mind that you will need to be fluent in both languages, and one of the languages is the native language of the place you plan on visiting. Again, this is just an assumption but I don't believe this would be a very profitable venture. I didn't think this was a good job opportunity I just thought that it was worth mentioning since some people may find it useful if they already have travel plans and want to make a little of money in the process. The payment may not cover the cost of the trip but may help cover the costs. Anything to lower the costs of travel is a good thing To answer your question/comment about it being less profitable teaching something other than English: English is the most popular language in the world so I'm sure there is a higher demand for English teachers worldwide. Since cost and demand is usually related I would guess that you would make more money teaching English compared to other languages since the demand is higher. However, if your native language is (for example) Japanese, and you were fluent in Italian and planning on visiting Italy, i would assume you could find companies eager to teach their employees Japanese for various reasons. This is just an example of a use for this service and Im sure there are many more uses for it. Sorry I dont have more information on the subject but this fall when I go back to college I will ask my counselor for more information and maybe she can direct me to companies or websites with more information.
  4. I don't use ImageFiles.com because I have no reason to... however, I am considering starting an account for extra storage space. I currently have a free hosting account with plenty of storace space to serve my needs, but I guess one can never have too much storage space.Has anyone had an unpleasant experience with the service? Let us know.
  5. I am really surprised at the number of posts in this thread. There must not be many World of Warcraft players that frequent the Xisto forums. Anyway, I just wanted to share with everyone something I do to make a lot of money on World of Warcraft. I'm sure you are familiar with the Auction House. If you aren't, get familiar. You can make a decent amount of money selling uncommon items, and above (items with their name written in Green, Blue, Purple and Orange). Never sell an uncommon (or better) item to a vendor until you have already made multiple attempts to sell it on the auction house. I suggest installing an addon called Auctioneer. This allows you to see how much and item sells for to a vendor in a popup window when you hover over an item in your inventory, or click an item in the chat window. It (Auctioneer) also lets you scan the auction house and save the information found, allowing you to see what the current market value is on items with lots of statistics like three day average, seven day average, and many other stats.I have found that heavy leather, thick leather and rugged leather sells really fast and for a very good price so if you have a skinner then you should go farm tons of leather and sell it on the auction house. I make about 30 gold per day selling leather alone.Bear Flank sells extremely well also. Go to Felwood and kill tons of bears and save all of your Bear Flanks you loot to sell on the auction house.A friend suggested parking an alternate character at an auction house that is near a mailbox (like the one in Booty Bay) and just mail everything valuable you find on all of your characters to the character that is at the auction house. Then once a day you check your mail, do a scan with auctioneer, and then post all the items you got in the mail to the auction house. This will save a lot of time running back and forth to a city that has an auction house just to sell and item or two. This strategy has worked very well for me and I have made well over 1000 gold in less than a month, playing as I normally do... grinding xp and looting every corpse I find.I hope these tips will be helpful for you in making more gold faster.Happy hunting!
  6. A guildmate and friend who has multiple level seventy characters told me about this guide that tells you where to power level at your current level. James' Alliance Leveling Guide can be found here. James' Horde Leveling Guide can be found here If the above links dont work copy/paste the links from here: Alliance: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Horde: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I hope this helps. I know it helped me tons
  7. I am surprised nobody has mentioned Anarchy Online in this thread. It is a very good mmorpg. I was highly addicted to it for over 6 years. The only reason I stopped playing it is because a friend convinced me to try World of Warcraft and now Im hooked on that. I still play Anarchy Online during the weekly maintenance and other downtimes. Anarchy Online has expansion packs that you can pay for, however the free version of the game has plenty of content to keep you busy for years. The Shadowlands expansion is worth the cost, in my opinion, however once you upgrade to a paid account you have to pay the monthly fee. The good thing about having free accounts is that you can have multiple accounts for free and 'dual log' (run more than one game client at once and play multiple characters at the same time) and team up with eachother, put one character on auto /follow on the other character then go on missions, quests and just kill for experience points. You can power level your alternate characters that way. And since it's free you can make and account just for extra storage space with 'bank toons'. You really have to check it out. It's a fun game.
  8. Mine is a little bulky, however I still prefer carrying it around everywhere instead of a cellphone and separate camera. especially since my digital camera wouldn't even fit in my pocket. Talk about bulky My PocketPC's dimensions: Dimensions: 112.5mm (L) x 58mm (W) x 21.95mm (T) or 4.4" (L) x 2.2" (W) x 0.8" (T) (according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_8525)
  9. A few years ago while leaving class at the local community college I noticed an advertisement posed on the bulletin board about an opportunity to get paid to visit other countries if you had good grades, and spoke English well. Of course I was skeptical, but intrigued. So I asked around and did a little research and it turns out to be legitimate. I'm sure there are requirements to be met but if you are planning to travel the world why not make some money at it in the process. Since this was a while ago I don't remember if you had to be fluent in the local language of the place you'd be visiting already, or if they teach you the second language but either way it sounded like a good opportunity. I didn't look more into the details because at the time I was unavailable for world travel, however as now I am ready to travel the world I would like to know more about this subject.Have you ever participated in a program similar to what I have mentioned? What were your experiences like? What tips, tricks, and suggestions do you have for anyone interested in this prospect?Any questions, comments, suggestions and feedback of any sort are much appreciated.Thanks, and have a great day!
  10. I have been diagnosed with clinical depression. I have found at times that it is hard to concentrate (more often than not). I also have a hard time remembering things. I know that these are typical symptoms of depression but am wondering if depression itself can be considered a learning disability due to it's symptoms and side effects.I have done a little of research on the subject and see many references to people with learning disabilities developing depression because of having learning disabilities. Does anyone know of a good article, or maybe a website with more information about depression causing learning disabilities? I would be very interested to hear more information on the subject. Any feedback is welcome.Thanks, and have a great day!
  11. Which OS are you running? Im on WinXP with SP2 installed. I tried a lot of the commands you listed and none of them worked for me.
  12. You can try booting into safe mode and logging into the Administrator account that is only accessible from safe-mode. From there you should be able to install an anti-virus software, update it, scan and remove virii... then you'll want to download, install, update and run a good spyware scanner. I suggest AVG Anti-Virus, AdAware spyware scanner, and ZoneAlarm is a great firewall. All the above are free for personal (home) use, and cost for business use.
  13. I am currently using my PocketPC as my all around device. I no longer carry my old 2.2 mega pixel bulky camera (Kodak DX3600). It's too bulky and the delay really sucks. My AT&T 8525 has a 2 mega pixel camera, records audio and video as well as all the other neat things like the full slide out qwerty keyboard, touchscreen, web browser, and runs Windows Mobile 5.0. Too bad I can't install Linux on it yet Well, back on topic: cameras. I just got back from a trip to Hawaii in Nov. 2007 and didn't even bring my old Kodak. The pictures from my 8525 turned out pretty well, and I'm actually considering making some calendars and postcards from some of the pictures I took there and selling them on my website... once I get it up and running the way I want. Let me know what you think about the Specialized Camera vs. Camera Phones
  14. I have had lucid dreams too. It's very interesting how the mind works. Everyone's is different so I will share my experiences and maybe they can be applied to your situation when attempting lucid dreams.A lucid dream can begin in one of two ways. A dream-initiated lucid dream (DILD) starts as a normal dream, and the dreamer eventually concludes that he or she is dreaming, while a wake-initiated lucid dream (WILD) occurs when the dreamer goes from a normal waking state directly into a dream state with no apparent lapse in consciousness. I have only had a few experiences with lucid dreams, and all have been DILDs. In each instance i was involved in a shocking situation where i was in immediate danger or caught doing something really bad. I almost woke up from the shock and in the process I told myself, still asleep, "This is just a dream. I can't get hurt here (or in trouble, depending on the situation). Just relax and do what you want." And that's how I have initiated lucid dreams in the past. Hopefully these will happen more frequently so I can practice the control of my dreams. So far it has just been random dreams that happen to have a common factor; something stressful that brings me to the point of almost waking up but not completely.Good luck and have fun with your lucid dreams
  15. Firefox... of course. I'm running a dual boot WindowsXP running SP2 and Fedora Core 5 Linux (considering switching to Ubuntu 8). i use firefox all the time, both in Windows and Linux. I only use Internet Explorer to install windows updates, and only because there is no other way.
