horhey, what do you mean by "redirect you to certain websites of their choosing" It does not redirect you TO any website. Here is an example from my hosts file. 127.0.0.1 ad.adsmart.net 127.0.0.1 ad.ca.doubleclick.net 127.0.0.1 ad.de.doubleclick.net 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net 127.0.0.1...

I cleared cokies and cache and flushed DNS a while ago. It has been about 1 1/2 weeks since I firsed did it. ipconfig /displaydns shows my hosts file entries and pinging them from the command prompt correctly resolves to 127.0.0.1. Its just browsing (ie or firebird) that still correctly resolves...

I am sure some of you know about the "supertrick" that can be found out about on kazaa lite's website. Basicially it just means adding a bunch of 127.0.0.1 ads.crap.com to the windows hosts file in "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS" I know in the past that editing C:\I386\hosts has no...

thanks

I kind of use my own shorthand when taking notes but I still type faster than I can write. I think I've decided the following I will go with laptop over PDA. I was going to buy a laptop anyway but I may not use it for class mostly because the typing will probably be an annoyance, I still feel I...

I wouldn't use it for things like engineering or math. At home and work I plug most information into a treepad database and think it could be useful to have my notes in a similar database. Another reason would be that my hand writing is messy when I am writing fast, I can type faster and still...

I've decided I'd like to use either a laptop or a PDA to take notes for my classes next semester. I've heard of a number of people using PDA's for this but not too many people using laptops and the recommended hardware for this usually seems to point in the direction of the PDA. Mentioned...

OT: I saw this and did a price check on some cards, found 3D labs Wildcat III for only $2,739.93

There is an apache asp module you can install

I am running XP but I killed the default fisher price UI with it and am using mostly the 2000 theme. My UI of choice would be KDE 3's .NET theme and Macromedia's new UI for their new MX line products.

Toms hardware did a quick run down on WinHEC that covered Longhorn

The 3Dlabs is the first of a next generation of high end, more programable cards to support the DX9 and windows longhorn. Longhorn is also moving windows GUI to the graphics subsystem raising the min. hardware specs for cards. Longhorn is likely not to be out till 2004. The 3D labs card is to...

I dual boot a Mandrake and Windows XP system, I use them on about a 50/50 ratio. My problem is there are many things about not having a decent command line (i.e. bash, tcsh) in windows. I have the Mingw and Cygwin libraries installed but I was wondering if anyone has tried to install a bash...
