mIRC Edited logoSo, you have finally found IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and realize that it owns. Its a place where there is always some to talk to, all kinds of topics, and a great place to download files (especially for BitTorrent haters). You might have already found out how to join a server and maybe even how to join a channel…or not. Anyway, I’ve already found IRC and am writing this article to help people on their way to learning how to use it. I’m sure there are all kinds of guides out there for IRC, but I intend to write this one to contain just everything that you will probably use and not all the extra commands. So, lets get started!

.:The Client:.

Ok, first you are going to need a client. I guess you might already have one and all, but considering that you don’t really know how to use IRC yet, you probably don’t know if that client really is any good or not. Thus, it really shouldn’t matter if I make you download another one really quick will it? In my opinion, a great client would be mIRC. It is the most popular client used today in the channel, and has great features. But before you go rush on to Google to download the client, just know that doing this will give you a program without any great add-ons or anything. Then you get to go out everywhere, and try to find the best ones to dl and blah blah blah. Instead, lets just get mIRC with the SysReset script. Here is a link for the full package of SysReset: http://download.sysreset.com/sysreset255.exe

Basically, SysReset has file server capabilities and add-ons for helping you run your own channel, using fancy brackets, handling private messages, and Winamp functions(show playing song and more). It is also the most popular script, making it easier to get help when you don’t know how to do something.

On the Next page, we’ll start with General Use.

According to Dailytech.com

With the online alias "Acid" or, in other cases "Acid Storm", a man named John Schiefer admitted to "infecting and hijacking more than 250,000 PCs with malware so he could have access to PayPal records." The man "is the first person to be accused by the U.S. government under the federal wire tapping law of operating a botnet — a network of hijacked computers."

Schiefer was hired by multiple clients to service PCs, but ended up installing malicious code designed to steal usernames and passwords for online banking accounts.


And then…

Schiefer recently agreed to plead guilty to four counts of fraud and wiretap charges that could send him to federal prison for 60 years with fines up to $1.75 million USD according to the Los Angeles U.S. Attorney’s office.

She said yes.

This news is a bit old, but I thought I’d post it anyway.

A guy with the gamertag Moviesign made a map in Halo 3 and set up what his girlfriend thought was just going to be a 2v2 match. After starting the game, he led her to a spot where he claimed he left an energy sword. “Instead there was a nice top-down view where he had spelled out a proposal in weapons. He then asked her to be his teammate for life.”-Xbox Website

That’s pretty awesome. Would it be mean to put this in my “strange” category?

Comments are good :)

"Click to Activate" Extra Step in IE gone

Here’s some good news for all the people that still use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer! That “Click to Activate” button at the top of your browsing window… is now gone! “YAY!” says Admin. Oh wait, I don’t use firefox. W/E

Microsoft announced that it has licensed technology from Eolas that allows this to occur automatically, and thus, the new patch eliminates the “Extra Step”.

According to CNET and the IE Blog, this will be available with the Internet Explorer Automatic Component Activation Preview Patch (available on Microsoft download site in early December), and when the IE Cumulative Update releases in April 2008.

Key Note: The update will not affect the way pages work, nor will developers and designers need to make any adjustment to the way they build their pages

Also…

This was announced in 2006… and Microsoft is still making their users wait…yay for ms

Making everything match (Windows Theme Modification & Websites)

(Click Pic for better view)GoogleDarkIf you have downloaded and installed a visual style for windows, you have probably went out seeking to make as much stuff match on your computer to that theme as possible. For example, if you have downloaded a dark theme, you probably want (but not necessarily ) a dark wallpaper to go with it. Or, you could get something to contrast it. Whatever the case, this little tutorial should help you take this desire to coordinate to the next level.

.:Get a matching FireFox theme:.

Before I begin, if you do not have FireFox, get it, and then make sure you follow this tutorial: Speeding Up Firefox

Now, an Internet browser is probably what you use most on your computer, so getting a good theme for it makes perfect sense. You can find themes for firefox here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:2

Note: My personal favorite that goes along with the dark theme I have installed: NASA Night Launch

Now, we can take it to the next level: making pages you commonly visit match your theme.

.:Making webpages match:.

  1. First, go ahead and download the FireFox plugin, Stylish.
  2. After you have installed the plugin, and have restarted FireFox…
    go to a page that you wish to change.
  3. Right click on the Stylish icon in the bottom right-hand corner of firefox(see picture, at http://images.xnr.be/68db967f0cafe3c99e40f70813c50881.png)

  5. Click on Find Styles for This Page.
  6. Click on some of the links and if you like it, press load into stylish. If you download one, and then don’t like it, go into the Manage Styles menu of Stylish. You can either delete it entirely with the delete key, or disable it buy selecting it, pressing the edit button, and Unchecking the enabled box.
  7. Now go to that webpage, and you’ll see it has been changed.
  8. NOTE: if you install some for Gmail, they will probably only work if you use the “Old Version” of Gmail. (As soon as you sign in, at the top there is a button for this)

.:Recommendations:.

Since I’m using a dark theme, I like all the dark ones…

Youtube: http://userstyles.org/styles/1078

Google: http://userstyles.org/styles/1693

Google Images: http://userstyles.org/styles/844

Google Video: http://userstyles.org/styles/845

The Pirate Bay: http://userstyles.org/styles/3296

find your own?? : http://userstyles.org/

You will notice that many of these are more for “improving” a site, rather than making it look better. This is especially helpful when you want to remove some nasty ads on a site you frequent.

Hope you liked this post. Comments are appreciated

Windows cannot access the specific device… Trillian Astra

Getting this error when trying to open a file?

Windows cannot access the specific device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions.

Well, if you are using Windows XP Professional, you can just right click on the file, go to the Security tab, and check the appropriate options (You need to be logged into an account with Administrative Privileges). If you are using Home Edition or some other version, you will need to do this in the Administrator account in Safe Mode. NOTE: While in Safe Mode, you should be able to open the file.

Otherwise, if what you have downloaded was say… a cracked copy of Trillian Astra (or cracked program with a patch for that matter), then chances are the AVG is doing this to you.

So, here are your options… you can either just uninstall AVG, or…

  1. Open up AVG, and scan where the patch for Trillian (or another program) is located. When the message boxes fly up regarding the patch file, just add it to exceptions.
  2. When that is done, keep the AVG window open, and then run the patch. As the popups regarding the patch from AVG popup, simply press Add to Exceptions.
  3. Now, the program should run, and you should be happy! lol…

Hope that helped, comments are appreciated. And uh… oh yeah… Omnamo.com does not endorse the hacking/cracking of any program, especially those which you are supposed to pay for. We are not affiliated with Cerulean Studios, or any of the people that cracked their program, we are just a site providing solutions to everything and anything we can find.

Lost your BF2142 or BF2 CD Key? How to get it back

Ok, so when I first started playing Battlefield 2142, everything went fine, and the game seemed to run perfectly. Then, one day, I opened it up, and the game froze when loading maps (at 60-70%). How annoying… Anyway, I googled around and found that I wasn’t the only one that had this problem, and lots of people couldn’t fix there computer even with all the “fixes” posted on forums. So, I decided to just quickly reinstall it. Uninstall went fine, but when it came back up for the reinstall, a message popped up on my screen, “Please Enter CD-KEY, found on the box/booklet”. At first I thought this wouldn’t be a problem, the box was just about 2 feet away from me in my view. I picked it up to fin that it wasn’t written on the box. “Huh, must be on the booklet inside”, I thought. I opened that box to find that it wasn’t there! WTF! OMFG! Xfire-ing my friends about me revelation only resulted in several “ownt, ownt, ownt-s”. I looked around and couldn’t find the booklet. Google then told me that the CD key is also stored in the registry, but that was only with the game installed :(.

But then, I came across a brilliant idea! System Restore! I restored my computer to just before I uninstalled the game and found that while this did not restore the game so that you could play it, it did restore all the registry files that you had! YAY!

So, now I’ll show you how to do this. First, go to START>Run, and then type in msconfig, the System Configuration Utility should pop-up. Then, just click the Launch System Restore button. After System Restore pops up, make sure that Restore my computer to an earlier time, is selected and click Next. Now, click the dates on the calender until you find the one where it says Removed Battlefield 2142. Click on those words and then click Next, and then Next once again. Your computer will now shutdown and restart with BF2142 installed once again. You might notice however, that it may not actually work. This is not important though, since we just want to get your CD-Key back. When your computer turns back on, you can do one of the following:

1) Download the following program to find your Cd-Key (http://files.xnr.be/a03f563a32cd93bf3c66faa28782d8a6.bat). This is a program written by SaladFork from the FeverGaming, BF2 forums that i slightly modified to work for bf2142. For BF2 users, (http://files.xnr.be/8af7696759121f0b60cb99d2248c0a92.bat)
2) If that program fails, or you don’t feel like using it, go to START>Run, then type in Regedit. Then go under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Electronic Arts>EA Games>Battlefield 2142>and click ergc. Then click the file on the right hand side (Default), right click it, and click modify. Copy what is written here.

Now, this is the final step and applies to both steps. What your CD-Key is, is everything that program, or regedit, tells you after x9392.

That should be it, now you should have your cdkey and should be able to install once again. Make sure you write it down, or save it in a file.

Tested on Bf2142 w/ 1.25 patch

Hope it helped! Comments are appreciated!
