"The interface formerly known as metro that I think is now called modern," or TIFKAMTITINCM has replaced the start menu and begun to invade the desktop.<br />
<br />
Good-<br />
Windows 8 is faster in almost every single way.<br />
Metro looks cool(some disagree, I think that's a personal preference)<br />
Works on tablets too<br />
Cheap!- $15 for special upgrades and ~60 for a copy<br />
old laptops without windows 8 touchpad drivers are screwed<br />
<br />
Bad-<br />
Metro is wonky(search mostly)<br />
No start orb(start8 by rocketdock)<br />
UEFI boot is another attempt to kill linux<br />
it transmits data to M$ constantly<br />
<br />
Ill give a full review sometime soon, I just wrote this while It's reinstalling (I hate old dell laptops)Scoobfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254308092455674584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101667185402355792.post-5568136242366310722012-10-01T10:55:00.001-07:002012-10-01T10:55:09.072-07:00District 13-Movie Review!District 13 is an action movie set in(what was) the near future. It was released in 2004, and was set in 2010. The worst Ghettos in France are walled off with no food, water, schools, police, or public services of any kind. Damien, a budding super-spy/star policeman, is put in charge of disabling a neutron bomb that was stolen by a gang led by Taha. Taha importes much of the cocaine, heroin, and most of the other drugs that plauge the district. He is rivaled by Lieto. Lieto was born in district 13 just the same, but he fights to keep his people free of drugs. At one time he had opened a school, which was shut down long ago. The movie opens with Leito desytroying 1 million Euros of stolen Cocaine from Taha. This is inturrupted by K2, Taha's right hand man, invading Lieto's home and slaughtering his men. K2 tries to kill Lieto, but Lieto uses his highly advanced parkour skills to evade his men. After this, Lieto invades Taha's base and captures him, and his sister, whom K2 kidnapped. They flee to the police station to turn Taha in and flee the district, only to discover that it is being abandoned, and the warden must cooperate with Taha's men, putting Lieto in jail and allowing Taha to take Lieto's sister back into the district. Lieto goes insane from this, killing the Police cheif when he apologises to Lieto, effectivly landing himself in jail. A few months pass, and Taha steals a neutron bomb from it's convoy. He tries to tamper with it, activating the timer. Damian is sent to find and defuse the bomb, and is told to trick Lieto into helping him. Lieto sees through this, escaping. Damien meets up with him and explains, and they form an alliance. Lieto intentionally get them captured, and the two give Damian's superiors Taha's bank account number. They escape, and Damien's superiors drain all of Taha's Bank accounts, and he is then killed by his gang because he cannot pay them. K2 is then the head of the gang. He contracts Damien and Lieto to find and disarm the bomb. They find the bomb, and start to enter the disarm code when Lieto realises that they are actually arming it. He stops Damien, and they both know that the bomb was meant to obliterate district 13, and was never stolen. They return to the outside, and fight their way to Damien's superior. He is exposed to the media, and Leito and his sister return to district 13.<br />
This was an excellent action movie and I give it 10/10. It has an equally magnificent sequel, District 13: Ultimatum. The sequel was english dubbed, but the first one can only be found subbed here:<a href="http://www.fullmegamovie.com/watch/district-b13-2004-english-online/">http://www.fullmegamovie.com/watch/district-b13-2004-english-online/</a> It is an excellent sub.Scoobfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254308092455674584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101667185402355792.post-63548488613485351452012-06-30T21:47:00.003-07:002012-06-30T21:47:45.764-07:00webcomic 2: ctrl+alt+delcontrol+alt+delete(CAD as I call it) is a very gaming centered comic.<br />the art is fantastic, and the cast is Ethan(the worlds single weirdest person), Lucas (a fanatical but logical gaming addict), and Lilah(a female Lucas that ultimately marries Ethan), and some supporting cast. The comic strikes a nice balance between long, drawn out stories and quick one liners. There are small amounts of sex(mostly references to porn, occasionally one hints to sex, and rarely some skimpy clothing).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cad-comic.com/">Control+Alt+Delete's Homepage</a>Scoobfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254308092455674584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101667185402355792.post-79609704330826404022012-06-30T21:30:00.002-07:002012-06-30T21:30:56.359-07:00Hellomy deepest apologies but work, school and other obligations have prevented posts since...i dont even know how long anymore.

Despite the complicated sounding name and UI it is very simple, and I even got my parents to use it!</p> <p>1. download HHT at <a href="http://halo2.filefront.com/file/Halo_Hacker_Tools;44736">http://halo2.filefront.com/file/Halo_Hacker_Tools;44736</a></p> <p>2. extract the .zip to a folder like C:\ or desktop</p> <p>3. open said folder. make a shortcut to the .exe that runs the program</p> <p>4. use it</p> <p>5. HHT will open. find your halo maps folder which is usually someplace\halo\MAPS</p> <p>6. select a map. the ones with names like a10 are campaign levels. the farther up the letter/number it is is which level. In windows eplorer, Pillar of Autumn is at the top, and the maw is at the end. </p> <p>7. find weapons in the middle window and expand it</p> <p>8. choose the weapon you want to change</p> <p>9. in the top right window, scroll down to proj (short for projectile)</p> <p>10. highlight it</p> <p>11. look in the bottom right window. change the projectile via dropdown. </p> <p>12. change it! don’t use grenades though I haven't found a way to add velocity, so, you’ll just blow yourself up. </p> <p>13. fire up halo PC and try it out</p> <p>14. read other guides, like the one that came with it ;)</p> Scoobfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254308092455674584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101667185402355792.post-46119084002126539112012-01-09T15:29:00.000-08:002012-01-09T15:29:57.951-08:00Un-soft-brick G1!ok do this. <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unbrick">http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unbrick</a><br />

These are 2 bills theoretically to cut down on piracy, but they can block even sites that "condone or don't do enough against piracy." In other words, Facebook, twitter, blogs, even CNET and ourselves! Please do this immediately!<br />

I give you a wonderful christmas present(for yourself maybe ;). anyways starting late today(like 11) and tomorrow there will be a firesale on hp touchpads. the 16GB model is $99 and the 32GB is $149. You may be suspicious of such cheap hardware, so I'll give an explanation. <br />
Why so cheap?<br />
HP's webos couldn't compete with android and IOS so HP is shutting it down. <br />
<br />
So the tablet is good but the ****ty OS makes it a worthless peice of junk?!?<br />
Yes, but you can install android or ubuntu on it, but ubuntu is not very ready yet. <br />
<br />
WHERE!?!?!?!?!?!<br />
hp's ebay store in the laptop section!<br />
<br />
Anything else?<br />
the accesory pack is $79 and employees get first dibs. You need to have an ebay and paypal account.Scoobfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254308092455674584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101667185402355792.post-36483287254488103712011-10-19T15:39:00.000-07:002011-10-19T15:39:22.469-07:00Free XBox Live on PS3's, PSP's XBox 360's and even the original XBox!For those of us who either do not want to dish out some ludicrous amound of cash for XBox Live, Or a WBox Wifi Antena, or simply have an older model you are not alone. THere are 2 services out now known as Xlink Kai and XBConnect. They both work the same way, where you hook up a PC running thir software to the same LAN as your Xbox/360/GCN/PSP/PS3 that in turn tricks them into thinkin other consoles on the internet are other consoles attempting a system link. <br />
First Choose your service. Xlink Kai supports the Gamecube, XBox, Xbox 360, PS3, and PSP. XBConnect Supports only the original XBOX. <br />
Second, Set up your network. you need to get your console on your network. Since I have the original Xbox, I will use XBConnect, althought th two work exactly te same. <br />
Method A<br />
USing an ethernet cable, plug your console into your router. Do the same with your PC, or use Wifi. <br />
Method B-If you have Dual band wifi and widows 7, you can connect to you network via Wifi, then use your Ethernet port to connect to the console, the use Win7 to "bridge the connections."<br />
Method C<br />
If you do not have dual band wifi, I recomend using an android phone as a USB wifi adapter by tethering via USB then disabling 3G/4G. THis will simulate dual band wifi. You can do the same with a real USB wifi adapter. <br />
Third, create an account on your service's website, then install their client. Load up a game on your console, and go to the system link option. Wait here until your PC can populate a listy of "games" or servers.

It is the original game in the Halo Franchise and still is awesome and lots of people play on the net and there are a lot of servers. The PC version has Banshees, rocket warthogs, flamethrowers, and a few extra bonuses over the console version. It requires no installation. It is a .zip. My close friend who I have known since the 2nd grade uploaded this.<br />

B. Normal<br />
Download the appropriate ISO for your distro, burn it to a CD or USB drive, then boot from the USB/CD and install.<br />

It also offers many installation options such as DWM(desktop window manager), Distro(everything EXCEPT the kernel), and installation type.<br />
1. Choose your Distro<br />
Section 1-netbook<br />
A debian derivative is fine here, I use (L)(X)Ubuntu. Just no KDE, and GNOME is risky. I recomend LXDE or XFCE as your session manager.<br />
Section 2-Old PC<br />
Damn Small linux, then Xubuntu, then Lubuntu at the best<br />
Section 3-Laptop<br />
Debian/ubuntu derivative. Maybe you can get away with KDE....<br />
Section 4-Desktop/Gaming laptop(e.x. Alienware M1x)<br />
GO CRAZY!!!!<br />
<br />
2. Choose your install method<br />
Section 1-Wubi/Lubi<br />
Only availible for ubuntu derivatives and linux mint, this installs linux as a dual boot. The unique thing is that linux is simply a program in windows, however for all instents and purposes is a conventional linux dual boot. Windows recomended, linux possible<br />
Section 2-Dualboot<br />
down and dirty dualboot on a seperate partition<br />
Section 3-Conventional<br />
Clrean install. No other os's, and only one partition.<br />
Section 4-live CD/USB<br />
Installation onto a USB drive. everytime you boot up, your previous programs and settings are gone.<br />
<br />
I recomend Wubi for windows dualbooting or if you have enough disk space to afford keeping Windows. A couple of tweaks are needed to get it working with Windows 8(see previous post) but they are easy, quick, and simple. See part 2 for installation instructions.Scoobfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254308092455674584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101667185402355792.post-13069975015136229202011-10-07T10:39:00.000-07:002011-10-07T10:39:54.632-07:00Windows 8 -Linux dual boot(Wubi)Windows 8 has a new feature that prevents new entries to the boot image, etc. Fortunatly there is a way around this.<br />
1. download and install win8<br />
2. downlaod and install easyBCD INSIDE win8<br />
4. Downlaod the Wubi.exe file inside win8, run<br />
5. Open EasyBCD and make your newfound (x)ubuntu the "default OS"<br />
6. Reboot, select (x)ubuntu<br />
7. this will complete your linux install<br />
8. reboot and choose win8<br />

STEP 8<br />
go to <a href="https://check.torproject.org/">https://check.torproject.org/</a> to verify that everything works correctly<br />
NOTE: in chrome, you can also go to the proxy settings, LAN settings, and the advanced proxy setting and input the info from step "D" from the CHROME guide to make chrome use TOR all the time also i recomend pinning the <a href="https://check.torproject.org/">https://check.torproject.org/</a> site to verify tor is on(don't forget to reload if you hit proxy switchy! though)Scoobfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254308092455674584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101667185402355792.post-76241245037595413902011-07-09T17:07:00.000-07:002011-07-09T17:07:12.855-07:00A guide to torrentingThe first rule of torrenting is....you don't talk about torrenting. Torrenting is utilizing a protocol known as "Bittorrent." Bittorrent, instead of having you connect to one server to download material, bittorent has others upload the information straight to you. This means that speed depends on the "seed"(uploader) to "leech"(downloaders/a-holes who don't upload and hog the data. a torrent with no seeders does no longer exist.<br />
step1- torrent client<br />
Torrenting requires use of a special client. I use utorrent 3.0 as utorrent is extremely low on resource consumption and the 3.0 release is pure awesomeness. others are vuze, transmission, and others with low market shares.<br />
1. download and install utorrent<br />
2. run a google search for (we are currently looking for a movie ) "movie avi xvid torrent." "movie" is the name of the material I want, "avi" is the most secure format for video, "xvid" is a codec(optional) to make the video a smaller file, and "torrent" is what makes a torrent as opposed to a normal download<br />
3. good torrent sites include torrentz.eu which only points to other torrent sites and is a search engine in it's own right, The pirate bay, which a standard torrent site, and my favorite which is Kickass torrents, which is like the pirate bay, only in my opinion, better.<br />
4. read all the reviews, comments, like/dislike stats, etc. this will prevent a malware infection<br />
5. when you are at the torrent page you want either click on the magnet link icon to open the torrent immediately or download the .torrent file and open that in utorrent.<br />
6. the torrent should begin downloading. allocate high bandwidth to slow torrents and lower to faster torrents when downloading many at once, however if there is only one or two torrents assign them both high bandwidth to speed them up some.<br />
<br />
NOTES(READ):<br />
- I am not responsible for how you use this. although you probably won't be arrested if you download some copyrighted material, i do not, therefore it's your problem with the police/feds<br />
- I am not responsible for any malware obtained t=from torrenting. if you follow my directions and be careful, however you should be fine<br />
- to enhance your privacy get peerblock and/or a vpn that supports P2P and/or bittorrent<br />
-I was not sponsored<br />
- mov and mkv are other secure video formats. pdf, doc, ppt, xls, txt(medium security), mp4, mp3, wmv, and wma are extremely insecure<br />

Category 1-Home Replacement<br />
1. ADW- for enourmous amounts of features and reasonable speed we just had to give ADW 1st<br />
2. Zeam- zeam has one goal : fast, and no one can dispute this<br />
3. dxtop- we gave this no. 3 because...well ...um its unique.<br />
Category 2 web browsers<br />
1. Opera Mini- for extreme speed AND features. Unbeatable<br />
2. Firefox Mobile- the only thing that could beat this is Chrome portable<br />
3. Skyfire- incredibly slow, takes up to 10 mins to load the normal google homepage, but can convert flash to html5 to watch flash without having a froyo device, and it can change it's user agent<br />
Category 3 Games<br />
1. Angry Birds- no explanation nesesary<br />
2. Squibble- a charming little platformer<br />
3. Pacman- a timeless classic<br />
Category 4- Emulators*<br />
1. Tiger king- present free classic emulators. almost as good as having yongzh's paid versions of Nesoid, GBCoid, etc.<br />
2. Yongzh- if your willing to pay(we aren't) this guy is unbeatable, especcially when he came out with N64oid, an N64 emulator<br />
<br />
*emulators are software that mimicks the characteristics of a peice of hardware. a Wii emulator is a program that allows you to play wii gasmes inside it's host OS(Win7, Mac, Linux). Android Emulator Authors often present many, many emulators, generally in the form of 1 app per system, so this specific category is given out by author, not app.Scoobfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254308092455674584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101667185402355792.post-60634165880713191632011-05-26T12:33:00.000-07:002011-05-26T12:33:14.475-07:00firefox portable release channelsfirefox portable is a great creation of portableapps.com, however unless you are content with being on the public release channel of firefox it doesn't cut the gravy.

It would randomly uninstall apps. I have a feeling this was a security breach, but for a risk such as that, we shouldn't proceed. Instead use beatrom's gingerbread rom. It is in the unlocr's database. The link takes you to a xda developers link. There are 2 links, the rom and "gapps". "gapps" is the market, Gmail, youtube, etc. download the rom and gapps .zip files. If you have clockworkmod recovery, just move them somewhere to your SD, if not move the rom to your SD as update.zip, then repeat this process with gapps.<br />
Clockworkmod and normal recovery- reboot into recovery<br />
clockworkmod- factory reset as many times as possible, then to the same with wiping the cache, the go to _____mounts and storage and do each one individually(skip the SD!!)<br />
normal- flash update.zip<br />
clockworkmod- install zip from SD, select the ROM<br />
normal- turn on usb storage, swap the files, making the gapps file update.zip<br />
clockworkmod- choose zeam(fast) or ADW(features, slow) as you home, wait<br />
normal- flash it too, reboot<br />
clockworkmod- install zip from SD, select gapps<br />
clockworkmod- let it finish, reboot<br />
clockworkmod and normal- boot up and sign into google(if you have data), or skip to do it over wifi<br />
clockworkmod and normal- this is to patch the settings app being unable to launch: go into linda file manager, in /system/app find settings.apk, and open it, replace the settings app with it<br />
clockworkmod and normal- home-->settings-->wireless-->turn on wifi, connect-->home-->open market-->sign in-->DONE!!!<br />
<br />
unfortunately, the market is stuck with out adobe flash. get this and open it with lind to remedy this, it is named "for 2.1" this may work, but it is 10.1 flash, period and it worked for my 10 attempts on 3 phones<br />
