Heres the deal. I want to make something very similar to Mojopac, but able to run portably and wrap the registry. I want to do it in C++ but I can't find any tutorials or anything useful that I can access (school firewall). Does anybody know of ANY sites that would be useful to me? I want to do this as a sort of learning experience.

So I have a feeling my flash drive is slow. I've noticed that using my portable Firefox on it is sluggish. I ditched a bunch of extensions and still it is slow.

Also, transferring big files seems to me to take longer than it should. I'm moving a 60MB file over and it is taking more than an hour. I know it is a big file, but still...

Are my expectations too high? Are there differences in speeds of flash drives? I have a 4GB Sandisk U3 drive that I took the U3 off of.

could anyone help me
i need a nsis script which sets the system date to 5 feb 2008 (date only not the time) the executes a program then sets the system date back to the current date.

also could anyone guide me to a guide on advance features on nsis as i already know the basic and am already creating portable apps for myself.

thanks in advance

you could correspond with me through email (tipra [dot] wicked [at] gmail [dot] com) or could post in this forum itself
many thanks

I'm thinking about installed Linux and messing around with that for a while.
What would be the best distribution for me? I have mostly been using XP all my life, but my main computer is running Vista.
I'm not looking for a distribution that would be easy for me to adapt into, but simply the 'best' one. The one with the most (useful) features, the best UI, etc etc.
