heres some help
 
Cracking:  someone finds out your password or information using the next term
 
Social Engineering:  Using non-technical or low technology methods of to attack information systems.
 
Data Mining:  Analyzing information that already exists, best way for pursuing attack avenue or illegitimate business transaction.
 
Penetration:  Gaining access to logical sensitive data by circumventing a system's protective layers.
 
Hardening:  Process of identifying and fixing vulnerabilities (soft and hard) of a system (VERY important in White Hat Hacking, aka pen testing).
 
Hijacking:  active process where the attacker gains control of an already established connection or communication to establish a new association.
 
Phishing:  Redirection of a single legitimate request to an illegitimate source.
 
Pharming:  Utilizing redirection of multiple legitimate requests to illegitimate sources.
 
Rootkit:  collection of tools or sources used by an attacker to mask or spoof intrusions and gain access to systems or networks.
 
Worm:  Program that runs independently of the user, can propagate a complete version of itself on connected hosts or networks, consumes resources until the system fails.
 
Virus:  Self-replicating hidden softwares that cause malicious logical insertions of programs or processes in order to activate a program or connection.
 
Zombie:  A system or Computer connected to a network or internet that is compromised by a non-authoritative source (human or program) that operates without the user's permission or even knowledge.  (Hence the term zombie).
 
So what does all this mean?  Nothing, unless you have learned about it and are working for or against the terms I showed above.  If you really want to learn about legitimate hacking, aka penetration testing, look into getting your CEH (certified ethical hacker).  Many schools use this at a benchmark for abilities.  I've done pen testing and general scripting for systems from the DoD to even private companies that just want to know their healthcare database is secure.  Hacking is a very general term used by those who do not know what it means.  Hacking can be used as a term by those who know the difference between crackers, script kiddies, pen testers, and even droppers.  It's basically a catch-all of ignorance that people can use (kind of like saying Gas to describe what makes a combustion engine go vroom, even though some engines use JP5 or even liquids more comparable to oil).
 
Anyway, I just figured I would toss out some terms I learned while training.  Mainly so people can see that there are a great many out there who are educated, and versed, in the proper usage of systems and protection of those systems.  Just remember that technology soldiers are just like regular ones.  There are a doze good guys for every bad.  And even though you hear about the bad ones more than the good, that's just because the good are good enough to not gain notice.  So what you hear about is a very small percentage of the truth of what happens with "hackers".
 
Just food for thought.

I would imagine Windows 7 will be supported well after Windows 8 and 8.1 are both dead. 
 
Windows 8 is a failure like Vista and that is why XP is still sort of alive. I would expect another 4-5 years out of Windows 7 unless of course they wow us with 8.1 which probably won't happen. 

so passionate!

so passionate!

I atempt to use programs such as gimp and rainmeter. Then I get stuck and watch anime instead.

i'm sorry but the way you're saying that makes you sound like a spoiled pretentious ass...

For a workstation (I assume video editing etc) you'd be better off with a laptop fitted with a quadro.
 

You can hire me to do it for you. For a mere $0.75 per click I will move into your home, sit at your desk and click anything on the screen for you!

I'll just stick to my PC & play online games without any BS subscription fees.

Wow some people make me want to shoot my self in the head comparing apple to dell ( TO WAY OVERPRICED COMPANIES) think about it this way for $2000+ your getting a good spec computer. In 3 years you'll have a paper weight and heater for the winter. Since you cant upgrade it. For 2000 dollars build a computer thats faster and upgradable down the road.

what we first start off with is making some guideline holes so that we are able to do better cuts with the jigsaw allowing us to change angles easily.

 
 
Mid way cutting.

 
 
now time to lay it on, and all is good.

 
 
a wild cat appears! "hmmmm, can i fit through here?"

 
 
"Why yes! of course I can!"

 
 
marking out the other side, and repeating the process

 

 
 
both sides have been completed and look very nice. they are BOTH yet to be routered so that the grill sits in flush. but that is next days off job.

 
 
I quickly decided that I would do my 5.25" holes, one for a Blu Ray drive (basically just incase i need it for whatever case. And no, I couldn't be bothered getting a USB one), and also will be fitted with a Fan Controller too.
Here is the plan...

 
 
Holes done

 
 
all cut out

 
with a bit of extra little rasping (wood equivalent of a file) they fit nice and snug! Though like the rad grills. Will router a recess for them to sit flush in. If some may notice, the drives are sitting lower then centre, this is because I will probably put my power/reset buttons above the 5.25" area. 
and ps, yes I know the middle piece between each 5.25" slot is weak as hell, and I understand that. If it breaks it breaks, if it doesn't it doesn't! it looks nicer with it though 

 
 
Oh, and this is the glass installed 
easy to remove to, simply put fingers between the two glass sheets and lift the top one up! the front bit is siliconed in place

 
Next update will be Wednesday of everything routered
and then theres only two holes left to do (PSU, I/O shield) and its time to d-d-d-d-d-drop the hardware in!!
 
 
Here is how I will be spacing my UP7 to the desk itself. just a few rubber spacers, that will be screwed into the desk, will have to go find some nice long thin srews while I think about it!

 
We start with the routering of the 480 grill rebate, so that the grill can sit nice and flush

 
 
The middle bits had to be done also, and were very difficult too as after a few cm's the router wasn't sitting flush anymore so would 'dip' as you can see in the picture where it dipped a little bit. but that's okay! it's not seen 

 
 
Thinking about how I could find a packer to use that allowed an extra bit of width... duh, why not use the template to rest the router on!

 
 

 
Now, this is what it looked like! the rebate for the grill was done, and also i further rebated in a rectangle for the actual little hex-hole grills to sit in too

 
 
Then there was about a 2 week period where I did nothing in life but work/sleep. UNTIL my parts arrived! and I will also be getting another GTX 680 4GB too 
 

 
After thinking and googling, I figured a way that I could mount my power supply tidily, by making a metal template I guess you'd call it. where you would screw the thin sheet steel to the desk so you could then be able to screw the psu in! 

 

 

 
And then there she was. the template to cut out the... template :B

 
Mid way cutting it out, realised I shouldn't have cut the paper up so much as it was so hard to get the small rectangle square again! 

 

 
And there it is. Not the tidiest and 100% most beautiful, but it will be painted, not seen. It will serve the purpose it was made to do _b

 
Time to mark out where the IO shield will be put, and also where my PSU hole will be too.

 
Time to do my preliminary guide holes for the jigsaw

 
And there it is, all nice and square!

 
The PSU Template works well too

 
Now, the one thing that bugged me the most... The PCI holes. How do do them? Do I rebate them? Do I cut out one big hole instead? I will do it individually instead and rebate me thinks..

 
I then proceeded to use the smallest router bit I had and rebate the groove for the PCI brackets to sit in.
Also, the top L piece of the bracket needed somewhere to sit in, so I marked the lowest point the bracket could sit, otherwise the card when in the motherboard will be on a lean and could have a dodgy connection to the PCI/E Lane

 
Making sure my depth was correct, I used a test bit of wood to make sure that when it came to the final piece, it was done properly.

 
A Perfect fit!

 

 
 
Just a FYI, to prevent any scratching this is how I lay the top down to do any cutting/routering etc

 
Now that the first PCI slots had been cut, it was time to finish the rest off

 
Here is how I measured the spacings for where the slots went, just an old case I chopped up!

 
All cuts done

 
Next, to square all the holes out I figured, what better way to do that, than with a Router! Least that's what I thought. The insertion of the bit went well, as soon as I itched it to the right BOOM. the middle piece of the PCI slots just snapped off.. I said a naughty word beginning with F. the next one began with C. hehe

 
It was time to resort to Plan B. Cut the whole damn thing out and chop the PCI bracket bit out of that old case that was in the pic above

 
it looks a lot tidier this way anyway, so while I am not happy the slot snapped out, I am happy with the result I guess!

 
So after cutting the PCI Bracket out, i gave it a quick sand and a quick paint with orange and will continue to polish it up over the next week but just wanted to test it out for the time being to make sure all was well... Guess I was just impatient and wanted to see if when everything was laid out in the desk it would all look pretty is more appropriate
 
PS- Hello Vita! (sheep)

 

 

 
After the day, I moved everything to it's little box. and covered it. Until tomorrow 

it apears they were too focused on TV, sports, and CoD....

Yeah, it's just like Steam's summer and winter sales!

AT&T ?! seriously ? if anything that brand should have a negative value !

I've seen this type of thread on nearly every programming forum I've been on, so I figured it would be time to start up our own WAYWO.
 
Feel free to post anything about any projects you are working on, including pictures, video, snippets, or what have you!
 
 
I'm currently working on a few projects but only have this one that I can really show off:
 
I decided to hack an old NES controller for use over USB using an arduino. Yes I know that I have a big old board hanging off the back, but this is for prototyping, I can always pull the IC off and mount it in the controller itself.
 
Here is a quick video with my obnoxious voice giving you all a rundown  :lol:
 
 
http://youtu.be/EC6Y3m41FIg
 
 
If you don't have the time to watch the quick video, I made a simple controller class that has methods for handling the clock and strobe of the controller, as well as a method that returns a byte that holds the button information (only 8 buttons total, convenient!). I have defines for each of the buttons that I use in the loop function inside a series of 8 if statements that handles printing the button that is currently pressed. This is only temporary, as I need a way to check for multiple button presses. But alas, I am tired and will work on it tomorrow.
 
 
Again, feel free to post your own projects, or comment on other users projects and posts!  :)

I kind of like the veriety of unboxings he does. I don't think he is an expert in any one field so most of his videos aren't too in depth. He also tries to appeal to the more casual viewers than for example linus. He does have some of the best camera work though.

You're just disrespecting people that have served and died for their country protecting the freedom we enjoy today.
No matter your stance on any recent conflit, you should have respect for people just doing their jobs.

It runs bad because updates not only add new features but add new functionality. When this happens code has to be changed in a ton of places and with constant updates it leads to inefficiencies. And think about it, minecraft was truly unique when it came out. Fps's have been around now for many years and they must share the basic structure that has been perfected over the years. Minecraft does not have that advantage.
