To try and get some use out of our dusty xbox 360, we won it and it sat there for so long. as it is typical MS snot poor on every front. we have all mac and linux and noone here likes or can be bothered with Mico-dicks attitude to computers. In a moment of weakness I downloaded Windows Vail Home Server. the w@nker on MS chat told me it was the best ever?.

Tired of facebook, don't want to be a tweeter, what is good alternative to facebook, somethign like it, social networking site...

Open source, free, no ads?
There is a project in development, though I dislike the name: diaspora

at any rate, I am weaning myself from facebook, need something different, ala Google groups, yahoo groups, i dislike both of those, though effective...

any suggestions?

I'm looking for something that will allow me to package disk image files such as .iso, .img, or, .nrg that have aggregate size more than 300 Mb, but usually in the neighborhood of 700 Mb. however, my search has yielded no results except magiciso 5.5, which can only handle 300 Mb at one time without buying it.

my current software allows me to package .iso's, but only from disk media. I want to see if other, possibly free, solutions to this problem, which I have been unable to find and probably wont. Help?

Hi
One of my clients is concerned that his teenage son is up to no good, been hanging out and talking to strange individuals and has been very secretive about his dealings on Face book. Is there a way to monitor his face book or get the password with a keylogger? I recommend my client a remote keylogger called remote spy(One of my friends has used on her kid's computer), but he said it's a little bit expensive.
Can somebody recommend some safe and preferable free one or give some advice please.
Thanks!!!

I noticed that a few programs on my thumb drive were not working correctly. On a Win7 computer I ran the command prompt and entered chkdsk f: /f --where f: is the volume for the mounted thumb drive.

That returned an error saying the drive was in use by another process and asked whether to force dismount. (There was no reason for the drive to be in use. I checked the running processes and saw nothing that could tie it up, but went ahead and ended all known uncecessary ones anyway. Didn't help.)

Recently, when I surf on the internet, I find I cannot open some kinds of websites and also have some troubles accessing games applications. I'm bored and don't know why and how to do. Yesterday, I ran the AV software (my AV is Norton) on the computer, and I found a strange program like this: ...web blocker.exe.. I searched it on google and I found it was a parental control software called Aobo P*rn blocker. I guess my mom put it on my computer. With this parental control, I cannot do anything. I try to remove it but there is no use.

I am new to this arena, just trying build my usb drive. I tried lot of portable app menus, finally I liked the mod R31 except one feature its missing/unsupported, the eject function is not avaliable with the default theme and the one avaliable for Blue theme isn't exactly ejecting the drive. so, I was thinking if anyone can point me to a working link of R34 from where I can download, hopefully it has a fix for the issue. I really like the mod, best is the "load apps from the database" feature.

Does any one know of a free program to test the Read/Write Speeds

of a USB flash drive? I'm just looking to see how fast my drive is.

I'm trying to put Outlook Express on my Windoze 7

and I'm unable to find any downloads for it. Can anyone Help?

Yeah, long topic title... but this video has been making its rounds on various gaming sites.

A bit of background information, a few months ago Microsoft decided to enable external and portable hard drives, as well as flash drives, for use in save game, profile, and downloadable content storage.

So this guy, I guess from a gaming blog, decides to run some tests. They're not fair -- the cheapest flash drives he could find versus the most expensive external hard drive he could find.
