Load any mp3 or mp3′s you wish to use on to your phone via MPT (Motorola Phone tools).
Close MPT
Start BitPim and go into the “filesystem tab”
Delete the two files – “MyToneDB.db” and “TmpTneDB.db”
Reboot your phone and then assign ringtones.
1.) Download Skype beta 2.5
2.) dial “+1″ without quotes.
Pretty simple fix after I downloaded the new beta. However, during the course of me downloading the new beta, Skype fixed the domain ranges.
Anyways, happy skyping.

GATTACA anyone?
We’re still a ways off from the gattaca scenario, however it doesn’t take much imagination as to the steps required to reach gattaca state.
If I had the choice, and ability to prevent my progeny from being inheriting a negative trail, I’d do it. Would I want to make my child blue eyed, blond haired, genetically modified creation? No.
The fine line is when uses their own genetic code or a correction, versus the outright modification of code. How does this effect evolution?
I see that this is no different then eugenics. I’m outright against people being sterilized to prevent procreation, but this form of eugenics, albeit the same in principal, I can accept.
The deeper question is why I can accept this. I am pro choice, but when the death penalty comes into play, I’m against capital punishment.
What differences would make one acceptable and the other not? I’m not pushing an agenda, I’m just asking a question. Some people may choose to accept both, or neither.
If you’re stuck like I was when trying to clearing out/delete the nprotect folder. I would encounter the error:
nprotect\00004107. – The system cannot find the file specified.
Where the number 00004107 is some sequential number.
To erase all of it, I had to do this:
del \\?\c:\recycler\nprotect\*.*
where c: is the drive you wish to clear out.
Fun fun!
Wow, I refactored my calendar web app and used PEAR::DB_DataObject_FormBuilder to make the backend.
One thing I have to admit, the documentation for certain PEAR applications lacks dearly. Just like all OSS packages. It’s just the nature of things.
The personal support I recieved from irc://efnet.org/pear was great. After a little guidance, the members in that chat channel were able to help me out. After my refactoring, I decided to write a basic howto. Read more…
BBC NEWS | Politics | UK holds Microsoft security talks
So this is where big brother – George Orwell’s 1984 comes true. Im not sure if I should be scared or what. But this is a great push towards a open source alternatives. How soon would a cracker reverse engineer this backdoor and allow access to all your sensitive information?
The idea is great on paper at first. When you realize the potential damages that can occur afterwards, it’s a pain.
The current methods of obtaining sensitive information does not tread on anyone’s rights. Well, that’s worded poorly. I mean it’s not trampling on anyone’s right. It may step on them, but not trample.
With that said, how much fun will it be when you have a 10 year old script kiddie, reading your sensitive documents? There are just some things you would rather have private.
Backdoors are a bad idea. It’s a gapping security hole, that one would never have. The potential damages that this may cause, should not outweights the public interests.
Do that whole login password setup. Encrypt everything text… I’ll try and figure out a way to encrypt pictures as well, but there’s really no point in doing that either. Images will be product images… I just don’t want the data will be useful at all. The page will be all managled anyways.
blowfish… the saviour. Read more…
Hamachi : Stay Connected
Wow… a FREE vpn like service. I wonder will this work behind my school’s firewall?
hamachi is so easy to setup. It’s just another network adapter, with a private network setup. Making stuff work just so easily…
you’re hooked up to the network, like ICQ, with just another layer. Speeds aren’t too bad either.
So, all clients hook up to the a central server to get communication information, and then you’re able to connect to the clients without issue.
Now, it’d be nice if I could actually somehow lose the central server hookup. But I’m not complaining if it’ll allow me to go from:
laptop -> hamachi -> vnc 128bit encryption client -> vnc server -> hamachi -> workstation.
a few layers… yup. But currently school is filtering out ports 5800… so I don’t feel like digging to find out what ports are open to me. So hopefully hamachi will solve this problem. I’ll know this evening if I go to class.
