Posted by ePlus on 7 November, 2008 at 1:40 amRecently with the UK announcing that they’ll be putting up a database to hold all the details of what everyone is doing online, shit gets a bit more worrying. As if I want the Government to know if I wear thongs or not…. 
Step 1
If you haven’t seen them already you need to read the latest guide of Security and Encryption Faq. That will get you started, answer most of your questions and give you an idea of what the whole thing is about. I mean you can follow that if you are paranoid etc. 
Security and Encryption Faq – revision 22.6.8
Posted by ePlus on 17 October, 2008 at 23:27 pmA new version was released a while back (couple of months lol) and I wasn’t aware, so here it is.
You’ll have to click the link below to view the whole post as it is a MASSIVE FAQ! Have fun!
Casey’s Config v2 (CAL compliant)
Posted by ePlus on 17 October, 2008 at 23:12 pmAfter not playing CS:S for over a year I decided to re-install it as I felt the urge to get some headshots!
Obviously I don’t have a top of the range graphics card so I have to use what I have. Which in this case calls in for some improvisation in the form of tweaking the graphics of the game and other options to get a better performance and a higher FPS.
The changes are not even noticeable – no need to worry
Anyhow, copy the below code, open Notepad save it as autoexec.cfg and put it in your C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\YOURUSERNAME\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg
Oh yeah you might also want to read Optimize Counter-Strike: Source at the bottom there, more tips. Good luck! 
HOW TO Receive RSS Feeds from nokitel.co.uk

I have covered this before but that was for an old version of Firefox and this time I am going to include a RSS reader, "Snarfer" for those who do not use Firefox or just simply want an independent client.
Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1
Posted by ePlus on 12 February, 2008 at 0:28 amWhen I saw photos of this new phone my knees went weak – this got me excited!
After moving from traditional phones such as the Nokia 6230 and the Nokia 6300 to the Blackberry 8120 Pearl I am not attracted to smart phones. You can do so much with a smartphone than any other normal mobile out there.
Though in all fairness I haven’t made the most out of my Blackberry due to being a cheap ass and not getting the contract Blackberry Internet Service I am basically only missing out on having email redirected to my Blackberry. And shit, what a shame that is as I enjoy reading death threats and being accused of being racist! Yeah, people actually seem to think that I am a racist because I posted some photos of some niggaz being photoshoped, if that is even possible!
Top 1000 Hits Of The Last 30 Years
Posted by ePlus on 10 February, 2008 at 18:49 pmThrough my searches on the intertubes I came upon a page where you can download the hits from the last 30 or so years. So go and get yourself a download manager, I recommend Orbit it is free and doesn’t come with any bulk bullshit. I use it, so it must be good! And to make things EVEN easier get the FlashGot addon for your Firefox.
Then right click on one of the links on http://ahn.50webs.com/music.html and select download all. And wait…. And wait more…. At least 3GB of songs there, so it will take some time. Once it has finished downloading replace the .jpg file extension to .mp3 and voila, it works!
If you don’t see the .jpg or .mp3 file extensions on the files on your computer open up My Computer then go to Tools >> Options >> View >> untick the box which says Hide extensions for known file types and you’re done!
Now you can’t say I don’t give you anything. Thanks me later bitchezzz….

Security and Encryption Faq 22.6.2
by Doctor Who
“No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy,
family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and
reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law
against such interference or attacks.”
Article 12 Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Privacy and anonymity are very important principles associated with
both freedom of speech and democracy.
“Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority… It thus
exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights, and of the First
Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from
retaliation – and their ideas from suppression – at the hand of an
intolerant society.”
Justice Stevens, McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, 1996
There are many roads to security and privacy on the Net, this is one
that I have personally pursued and can recommend from my experiences.
I am not making any claim that it is the best or the only route to
privacy and security, only that it works for me.
There are countless reasons why someone may need the reassurance of
anonymity. The most obvious is as a protection against an over-bearing
Government. Many people reside in countries where human rights are
dubious and they need anonymity to raise public awareness and publish
these abuses to the world at large. This Faq is to help such people.
Ubuntu + Windows XP + VirtualBox
Posted by ePlus on 4 November, 2007 at 18:54 pmThis is one of the latest things that I have tried out while on Ubuntu and what can I say, I am really impressed, especially with the “Seamless Mode” which looks something like this:
Basically what VirtualBox does (and in way this is the correct definition, I am just saying what I think it does) is that it emulates an environment on your current (host) OS and allows you to install another OS in that emulated environment. All that VirtualBox creates is a big ass file that grows as you load more shit on the OS that you are emulating and then various files for the snapshots if you were to take any.
The “big ass file” that VirtualBox has created on my system is 1.5GB in size where I have Windows XP installed and Winamp! Though it is obvious that the more stuff you install the bigger that file will get, like with any OS where you install more software it will eat more space!
The other “various files” are snapshots of sessions that you can take in case you fuck something you can revert back to a saved point. So lets say for instance you just installed Winamp and then you go and uninstall some audio drivers which will fuck up your audio and you can’t hear anything. Rather than you having to fixing it like you would have to if you were running it as your main OS you can just revert back before you started messing around and voila, all good. On my system the files are around 200Mb-300Mb, but that vary too.
Really you are running an OS within another OS in an emulate environment. It is pretty fucked up and NOT what you could call Windows software on an Linux platform, but the “Seamless Mode” just makes it a whole lot better than Wine – in my opinion anyhow.
True it is a bit confusing configuring the emulated OS to transfer files with the host (main OS) but that is easily fixed once you read the manual 
I haven’t yet configured the emulated (guest) OS to connect to the internet as you have to bridge the connection between the guest OS and the host OS for which you have to install some packages and do some hardcore configuring of files manually through terminal which I haven’t got around to doing that yet!
Though I can say that I am pleased that I am able to run Winamp and DFX and to put to good use my Logitech Z-550!
Back to sharing files in between the guest OS and the host OS, just so you know you have to select the folders which you want shared in VirtualBox and then those folders will become available in the gust OS (the OS which is being emulated) via “Network Places >> Entire Network >> VirtualBox Shared Folders”.
Useful websites:

P.S. To be able to install any guest OS on a host OS through VirtualBox you will need the installation CD or an CD image (.iso, .bin, etc.) for that particular OS!
