Could not open INSTALL.LOG
If you have problems, check this out (just replace the path there with the right one):
-
1) select Start->Run
2) click Browse button
3) find unwise.exe in Outpost install folder (usually C:\Program files\Agnitum\Outpost Firewall 1.0\unwise.exe), click OK in ‘Browse’ window
4) after that you should see in Run window the following:
“C:\Program files\Agnitum\Outpost Firewall 1.0\unwise.exe”
5) edit this line, so it looks like:
“C:\Program files\Agnitum\Outpost Firewall 1.0\unwise.exe” install.log
(after “the path” put the space and type install.log)
6) click OK in Run window

Restore USB AutoRun / AutoPlay in Vista or XP
So, you plug in a flash drive, or your camera’s memory card to copy stuff over to your computer, expecting the Autorun dialog to come up asking you what to do, and what happens? Nothing. You look around in your settings, and Autorun is enabled, and CD / DVD autorun works fine, but your memory cards don’t. Here’s how to fix it:
-
1. Open your run box (Start | Run) and type regedit and click OK.
2. Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
3. You should see a key called NoDriveTypeAutoRun (see picture below). Double click it and set the Value Data to 91 (hexadecimal).
4. Restart your computer and it should be fixed.

HFSExplorer
I found this cool piece of software - HFSExplorer. This software allows you to read Mac OS Partitions in Windows (such as on an iPod or external Hard Drive). From the website:
Potential users are:
* Users of Intel Macs running Windows XP with Boot Camp (primary usage scenario, as it’s my own reason to develop the app).
* Owners of HFS+-formatted iPods, that wish to access their content from within Windows or elsewhere (a user emailed me and verified that this works).
* Users of PearPC or similar Mac emulation/virtualization software that wish to access the contents of their virtual hard disks (will only work if the disk image is stored in raw format, as in PearPC).
* People that need to access the contents of HFS+-formatted .dmg files (conversion is no longer needed).
The program is written in Java and C, and is open source. Head over to the developer’s website to download it.

Create a Photo Collage of Your Facebook Friends

We earlier asked you to spot a secret Easter Egg in Facebook that lets you create a photo collage of your Facebook Friends in two seconds flat.

Step 1: Login into your Facebook account and click the Friends tab.
Step 2: Select the drop-down box and click the list separator (–) in that drop down that’s also highlighted in the screenshot below.
facebook picture collage
Voila! You Facebook friends collage is right on your computer screen. If you have a long list of Facebook friend, it could span across several folds. Save that as an image using some screen capture application that supports auto-scrolling.
From: Digital Inspiration
This is almost as cool as Friend Wheel. Too bad you can’t arrange or save the collage in any easy way……

How to Prevent Razor Burn
Here’s a tip to prevent those ugly little bumps and irritation from appearing on your face/neck/legs/etc. after you shave. It takes a little longer to shave using this technique, but doing so will leave your skin smooth and irritation free. For each section you shave, first shave in the direction the hairs grow, then against the direction, and then go back over in the direction they grow. This three step process will stop razor burn and leave you looking good!

Here’s a little tip for you.
OK, I’ve had with you people. You know who you are. Yeah, you’re the people hu tipe like dis. You’re the people hU tInK ItS cOoL 2 tIpE lIkE tHiS aLl ThE tImE!!!!!!!
Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
Just because we’re on the internet does not mean that you can forget everything you know about grammar, spelling, language, or just plain old FUCKING LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE. Seriously, folks, is this really necessary? It actually takes longer to write in alternating caps, and you look like a fucking retard when you intentionally misspell everything. Now, I’m not talking about using internet slang. Sure, it’s a lot easier to write “lol” than “man, that was hilarious”. And that’s fine. It’s also easier to write “g2g” instead of “I have to go, see you later”. But those are mostly used in Instant Messaging. My problem is with the bloggers, with the livejournalers. My problem is with the Facebook and Myspace users who think that it’s cool and hip to write like a fucking six year old. Well, I have news for you people:
iTs NoT kEwL!!!!! K RITE?????!?!?!?!
So, here’s my plea to you all. Write in whatever language you speak, and write properly, because chances are you’re intelligent enough to. But that may be pushing it.
