  1. Comment - Zero-Day Mac OS X Exploit Disclosed

    (Nov 22, 2006 - 11:05 AM)

    I emailed Athena SmartCard Solutions earlier this week. They sent me the 32-bit drivers and apparently are working on the 64-bit ones. The thing is that in the 64-bit version of the OS drivers must be signed or else you have to press the F8 key to disable the check for that bootup. The 32-bit version of the OS can get that check disabled completely.

  2. Comment - Microsoft, Dell Team on Special Vista PC

    As I understand it Dell doesn't use many non-standard parts anymore. Last I heard they were using standard power supply units now. Well at least you don't have to worry about the board getting fried by installing an off the shelf power supply.

    Disclaimer: I take no liability for the information above. If the information was inaccurate in any way then it is your fault for using it. Confirm it with Dell before replacing a part yourself in a Dell PC.

  3. Comment - MSN Messenger Most Used IM Client

    I think trillian is better but I have issues losing connections to MSN Messenger sometimes. Miranda can be clumsy to work with sometimes although it does have a _really_ small footprint

  4. Comment - 5,198 Linux, Windows OS Flaws in 2005

    There are linux distros that can edit the windows registry. I know that there is at least one anyways. BartPE stands for Bart's Preinstallation Environment and creates basically a working windows install that boots from a live cd. I believe it can load the registry files from the hard drive and is able to modify then to fix any issues. That is if you know what to fix.
