  1. Yeah, shutdown -a blocks it off. Good for when you need to run a virus scanner and 120 seconds isn't enough.I've made some pretty funny programs that annoy users (without making them latch on to startup, that's just cruel).Example: Mouse moves around the screen randomly (not smoothly, kind of like teleporting). Most keys add more spawns of the script (including up, down and delete, making it impossible to close the script via the task manager). Too bad you can restart the computer to stop the madness :)Another prank:You can make webpages redirect to other pages by editing the HOSTS file. Details are in google..
  2. Hey guys, I'm Nab (or Nabb, or Nabbers, or any variation that doesn't sound too odd). I'm a student in Australia currently making a Flash game based off Deadly Rooms of Death. I'd send a link here but I'm trying to keep it minimally visible until I do more features, get an artist, some music, etc. Also, it's on another free host and that'd look pretty lame here ;PI'm thinking of moving over to here for the SQL (I don't know SQL yet though..) and the no ads. Seriously, using a bunch of text files to store data is pretty lame .Stuff I'm into: Programming, hacking (let's not get into this though), maths (which combined with programming makes for great fun! How do you make the number 9823 using 0, no letters, and no other numbers? (way too off-topic by now (I use too many brackets)))[coolfont]Fin.[/coolfont]
  3. Gala is completely correct. MD5 is a hash, hashes create fixed-length outputs and are irreversible. A simple explanation as to why MD5 can't be 'decoded' is that there are only 2^128 (correct me if I'm wrong) possible outputs, and more than 2^128 possible inputs. This means that some pairs of inputs will give the same output. If you are given the output, there is no way you can tell what the input was. (of course you won't need to do such if a script only checks for a matching MD5 hash!) You can however crack an MD5 hash by brute force (a dictionary attack is just a more selective brute force!) However, this is infeasible given the input was a string of length 12 with mixed-case letters, numbers, and special characters! At three million checks a second, this could still take over five million years! (actually that's if it happens to be one of the last strings you check, so lets put it at 2 million). This is the main reason why most websites ask for long passwords, which aren't actually secure if you can get social engineered, but I think I'm getting a bit off-topic here. TL/DR: MD5 cannot be decoded, but can be cracked.
  4. Method one: Go to page 50 or so of the search for proxies... I think when you do this, most of the results aren't actually proxies but instead things like blog posts. You should still be able to find some unblocked proxy though.Method two: Change your search query to something like "unblock youtube". Those proxies are more likely to not be blocked! Yay!I'm not sure if there's content-filtering done for school computers or the such. Content filtering would pretty much stop any proxy unless someone made a proxy which turned pages into images o_oYou could probably make your own private web-based proxy too, but you'd need to find some hosting that allows this :\
  5. Knol looks to be quite different from Wikipedia, as the articles don't have the 'anybody can edit' touch to them. Due to being quite new, Knol also has an extremely small database of information, for example a search for 'cake' returned no results.Information is much more spread than in Wikipedia - The authors name and checksums in the URL means I can't simply type a word I'm searching for at the end of a link to find information about it (e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cake).Another point where Wikipedia is better is the way articles are linked. In Wikipedia, learning random information by using 'See also' list can even be, to some degree, fun! I don't see this happening in Knol as not only is there no visible equivalent to 'See also', articles are much more specialized.Overall, I feel that Wikipedia is much better than Knol. But I'm probably biased to Wikipedia...Knol might be better for looking up medical information though!
  6. I've played CS1.6 on a friends' mini-laptop. Another friend happened to have his portable HDD with 1.6 on it so we just tried it.FPS ranged from 2-5fps. Kpd was like 0.2 =(
