Bypass workplace internet password

Submitted by thegoodstuff89 on December 3, 2008 - 6:50pm

hi there

i work for a company that has a password on the internet. when attempting to load a page, a password prompt opens up, asking for a user id and password.

some sites work like mapquest.com and wikipedia.org. however, when accessing such websites, the prompt shows up NUMEROUS times (at least 20 times) and after i press "cancel" on these prompts, the loaded page is usually distorted (lacking certain images and frames)

is there anyway to bypass this?

Need help with partioning for Qemu

Submitted by gregnorris on December 3, 2008 - 1:32pm

I wish to use Qemu (which is completely portable without KQemu) with a couple OSes I'll install to my Portable HDD (namely WinXP Pro and Knoppix) but, I'm not sure what format I should use with the partitions. I'd also like to be able to load the partitions on my home computer like normal OSes but, I can't figure out what kind of boot manager to use for it.

Single .exe file written in NSIS

Submitted by MaxxApps on December 2, 2008 - 8:53pm

I'm pretty sure I read this somewhere in the forums a year or two ago. But, thought maybe it was time to ask again. What complications are involved in compressing a .paf format application into a single run file. I would have to believe that it would be much more convenient if apps were written this way if possible. If anyone has any ideas or comments, please post them. Let's really give ThinApp and Xenocode something to talk about!

For anyone who's interested, they're giving away 1-year licenses.

In the email I got with the license key, I also got a code for 50% off a lifetime license.

I know it stores preferences in %appdata%, so it's not portable, but I think the CLI app usr.exe can be used portably.

What's the minimum read and write speed requirements, to run portable software?

Submitted by userq on November 30, 2008 - 8:27am

First sorry for my bad english.

My question is:
what should be the read and write speed of a usb stick, which will allow software to be runned from it?

And if it's different for every program, which is the best (optimal) read/write speed who will allow most programs to run?

Thanks!
