Buying Domain for Drugs

Recently I read a very interesting article regarding how a police officer is purchasing domain names for the future in legalizing marijuana. Although this is still a debatable subject, the reality of the drug being available for medical use is increasing state by state and there are now strong positive views on getting it approved. In the long run marijuana will eventually be legal and it will be a wild west show down for companies to take their business online to reach the vast of majority of buyers.
So even is this police office is able to sell a few domain names to companies in need, his payout will still be worth it in the long run. Smart move from San Francisco's finest.

WinXP Hack

Need your XP computer to still keep on working after Microsoft ended it's support. Try this registry hack and see if it works. I guess it's still worth on trying regardless if the hack works on not. What do you have to loose.

Link

Info:
regedit, navigating to HKLM\Sytem\WPA and creating a key called PosReady. Once you have created the key, add a DWORD value to it and set that value to 1. Once all of those things are done, Windows Update will view your XP system as though it is a POSReady device and since those devices are slated to receive support until 2019


easiest way to do this is to open notepad and copy and paste the info below and name it winXpPOS.reg and just open the registry link in Windows and say yes.

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]

"Installed"=dword:00000001

save as xpPOS.reg

Remove Win 8 Apps

I am so excited that someone created this great utility to get rid of those annoying Windows 8 applications that came pre-installed on my computer. For those users that still hate Windows 8 this is a great solution to turn Windows to a workable operating system. I don't dislike Windows 8 new ideas, I just disliked on how they forced you to use their new platform.
We have come a long way as a Windows user and it's going to be very hard to just switch from one method to a new modern method because Microsoft said so. You need to focus back on customer needs and give user's the OS they been wanting.

Junk Java

It's unfortunate that a good software has so many bugs that to this date, the software vendor denies or pleads still no wrong doing. If your a user's who doesn't care too much about Java, your best option is to dump it. I can't even begin to tell you the stories on how many Java updates keep on patching these ongoing security holes. As for the new era of Java it looks slim. It's only a matter of time before something comes out and it's over for our big hole Java.

Subscription based OS

Looks like Microsoft is moving towards a subscription based OS in the future. This plan maybe temporary delayed because of the recent user response with Window 8.
This long term subscription service is bound to failure because of how it's competitor Apple gives back to it's loyal customers. Apple sells them a product and then give them lifetime updates.
If Apple wants to be ahead of the game plan, they need to keep on doing what there doing best, which is to keep on listening to it's customers.
As for Windows good idea but way to late in the game. Why buy something when we can get it for free. You decide.

Forgot your Windows Password

Here are some great tips for users who forgot their Windows passwords. It's not an easy task to do, but with proper patience and time. You can restore your Windows to original state.

Please note that this information is intended for educational purpose and not for mischief. Besides all this information is online for anyone to access for free.



Step 1:
 Use the Windows repair utility to reset your password. You'll will need your recovery disks. First boot from recovery disks. Then click repair your computer and choose command prompt. The c drive is not usually mounted and to mount it you need to find the current drive letter. In DOS type "bcdedit I find "osdevice" the command should end in partion= with a drive letter. This letter should be used instead of c. Then do the following type  (drive letter is in place of c)

 "copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\ "
then type this below
"copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe"
when prompted type
"yes"

Step 2
 Change the password using the command prompt. Remove the installation disks as in step 1 and reboot the computer. On the login screen press Shift key five times in a row. By magic the command prompt appears. Now enter in the command prompt the following "net user " the name should be the account you want to change the password to. 
You must then restore access to the sethc.exe file we overwrote in Step 1. To do that click Start-Accessories, right click cmd prompt and choose Run as Administrator. This gives you the right to copy sethc.exe back into the system32 folder. Now enter the following command " copy c:\sethc.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe" and then confirm to finish. 

Step 3 
 If all fails it's time to get the heavy duty password cracker from Ophcrack. Download it at http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net and burn the software to a disk and boot your computer to the software to crack the password. Your best bet is to do a deep scan to crack the password. With any luck your computer password should be that simple to crack.
