Fugitive tracked via WoW

I'd like to see them do this if the ISP uses a shared IP and if the MMORPG in question is free to play or has no meatspace address connected to the account

safety gear for new years fireworks

I used to use stuff like this for safety when I was younger

note: i should have used some form of hair protection (a non flammable cap/hat) and nonflammable clothes but i never got a round to that

* filter masks






* ear protection


 

* eye protection








* hand protection. Actually this consists of a grabber to pick up stuff, and a long handled lighter


 

* A torch is useful becuase the high temp flame ensures that the wick is really lit. The plume of hot gas extends for some distance, also giving you the safety of the long handled gas lighter. And You have the power to burn through the cardboard case of a firework








port forward the smart bro 999-2 (share it router)

do you want to portforward the huawei b933 router (the share it router?)

1. go here, download the simple port forwarding program (freeware). It works with a lot of routers so feel free to share this program with your friends who use other ISP's

link

2. install it

3. run it

4. select the router

5.  type in the following - username: smartbro and password: smartbro

it should look something like this




the right side is the step by step quick guide. follow it step by step. Note, my internet seems to get cut off if i set the local IP to static (after a reboot?) but its optional anyway

 I was in communication with the author ( *****@pcwintech.com )   instead of the ***** write "shane" without the "'s

I masked the full email to avoid spambots

he accepts submission of new routers and I submitted the share it router and it was newly added to the database but the new configuration hasnt beent tested yet. I tried it on my PC and it did not work

the author said to try the tips here
link
but none worked

so we need beta test volunteers, preferably with MSN or yahoo messenger so the author of the program can help you through IM. I'm a little busy so i cant IM him

Sugar free treats dont satisfy

Interesting discovery. Scientists found out that when you eat a sweet treat, at least 2 parts of your brain light up. One says "its sweet". The other says " I'm satisfied".

Sugar substitutes only make the first part of the brain light up. So sugar free food make you want to eat more.

Network Magic

What good is this program? Well these are the features that I have used

1. Share files in a network. Sometimes this can be a frustrating experience if you do it manually. I recently reformatted my laptop and now I can see the laptop on the network but I cant access the files from my desktop. Some crap about permissions. With this program Its really easy. Just run NM on both computers and designate the folders to be shared.

2. I can see if someone else is on my wifi network

A 7 day free trial is available and there are several more features.

This is a webcomic that I frequent. Its made buy a guy called Bleedman who is supposed to be a Fil-Am.The art is pretty amazing. Its characters are taken from several horror based cartoons.

As you can see, it is anime influenced.
