Here you go (source/binary included):  TextLiner.zip

Exactly what I needed!
This is simple and powerful, thanks a ton!

Also, it makes my processor to roll!  

P.S You`re really good @ making nice and clean interfaces.


EDIT: Total filesize for 1 to 100 000 000 file is: 1 063 369.

AND

My notepad started complaining that its too big for her - I have to use something else

ALSO

Wordpad opens it nicely in aprox. 1 minute.

Finished Programs / DONE: Line-Numbered textfile

« on: March 10, 2010, 10:05 AM »

I have decided to start this little youtube-game bymyself, where I seek for videos from 1 viewers to 100 000 000 viewers.
And for that, I need a checklist from 1 to 100 000 000.

So, i need someone to make me a program, which creates textfile with lines "from" "to" and user can choose where to start and where to quit, and the max number should be 100 000 000.
And if possible + bonus for you, make it so that in every line there is space after number.

Might it work for companies, which need to transfer different files and stuff all the day?
Please note, that this doesn`t happend only inside the company, so network-drives wont work.
If we leave out Ftp-servers, how would it work with torrents then?

-RedPillow (March 09, 2010, 03:44 PM)

Companies that use BitTorrent? You may want to ask Blizzard. They've got a little side-project going right now that uses BitTorrent to deliver updates. It's called World Of Warcraft. Don't know if everyone's heard of that program yet, though.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Binding 2 windows to each other?

« on: March 10, 2010, 06:17 AM »

Im in need of a program, which could "bind" or "merge" 2 windows together.
Now, I suck at explaining but lets say that I got 2 tiny windows and I want to minimize both of them just by clicking other ones minimize button - but this would happend only if the windows are bind together.

Another feature could be like in WinAmp, there is lots of tiny windows and they are like glued together or something, you can drag 2 windows bind together and release them too.

And lets not forget transparency, you could change transparency of both of the windows just by changing it from one of them.

Is this even possible to make?

I don`t know how the binding would exactly happend - possibly writing the window-names on a command prompt ??

Living Room / Speaking Of: Torrent Sites

« on: March 09, 2010, 03:32 PM »

First thing to say, is that I don`t want anything illegal here - as the torrent-sites are not illegal.

I actually made this topic up, because I wanted to ask you, that what do you think about sharing programs, videos, music and other stuff MADE BY YOURSELF on the torrent-sites?
I think those sites should really be used more to ship legal stuff since they have easy search-method and lots of stuff gathered to one place - and lets not remember user-supported dl/ul`s.

It would be hell of a lot easier to find that album made by your neightbor by searching it from these sites that surfing on google and stuff and not finding anything at all.

So, post your thoughts and so on..

Classic!  Ubisoft's DRM servers went down- making AC2 unplayable for many *paying* customers!

It's hard to foresee every little problem when you have your eye on the money.

-nosh (March 08, 2010, 02:20 AM)

Yeah, maybe they develop a system, which requires every ubisoft game installed inorder to play the newes ones - with internet online in singleplayer + monthly pays and online savegames, added with addon which calculates how long user has been playing and if > 1½ hours its automatic ban for every ubisoft game -- in addition with brand new feature: if you insert wrong CD-key (accidents count too) your C-drive will be formatted and owerwritten by crap which cannot be removed.


THAT`L TEACH EM!

Living Room / New Generation Game Demos

« on: March 08, 2010, 01:07 AM »

I just heard, that something like "New Generation Game Demos" are coming - first to Playstation 3, then to Xbox and then to PC.

These new game demos are quite easily explained:

The "Demo" would actually be pretty much full-game BUT - the longer / further the player plays it, the more gameplay and stuff the player will miss.
For example Final Fantasy demo would work as the full game and it would be full game but your weapons would get weaker the further you play it.
Another example would be GTA, the longer you play it - the crappier the cars would get.

This new demo-system is in development because the companies want to give players the power to choose what they want to test in the game, before it comes nearly unplayable.

Now, I don`t know how this would take effect against pirates - will they just crack the demo, or actually buy the game after the exclusive demo?

Either way, I think this is a creat idea!

It`s really sad, when Ubisoft announced that internet-connection must be on all the time when playing even singleplayer!
For pirates, it doesn`r really change anything - the protection will be cracked in hours.
For buyers thou, what if they don`t have internet-connection or it happends to lag-out @ Final-Boss?

Lawl, just think about checking your ping when playing Assassin`s Creed - so you wont lag out and quit without saving your game to the server
That would pretty much suck.

These rootkits seems to be really b*tches in worst case 
I ran the Gmer and it found some files, which are really really small - also, it busted some dll`s and stuff but I really couldn`t do anything to em 
Anyways, Im boarding a ship today - so.. happy posting!

Ice Sword

If these programs are crashing be advised that the root kit might be attempting to prevent their launch. Try launching them in safe mode.

-Josh (February 28, 2010, 11:52 AM)

Thought so, F-Secure BlackLight doesn`t work either, trying Ice Sword...

EDIT: Failed to initialize  
EDIT2: Gmer works w/o safemode, scanning now.

What was the button for safemode @ startup?

« on: February 28, 2010, 11:45 AM »

Sounds to me like your system, or one of the systems on your router, is infected with a bot net/root kit of sorts. I would highly recommend running root kit revealer on all of your systems.

-Josh (February 28, 2010, 10:24 AM)

EDIT: Rootkit Revealer crashes on startup - it`s out.

Prefer any?

Living Room / Fixed my network - The Hard Way

« on: February 28, 2010, 07:51 AM »

At last!

Gawd how hard can network-fixing be.
I had a pack of tiny problems which eventually created a big problem - my latency went up to 600 for no reason, dl and ul were aprox 60% lower than they should be, random people could access my network and i pissed me off.

Today I fixed it thou - Couldn`t access my routers setting cause my ip was made by my computer and wasn`t  starting with 192.168.
Solved that part by going to other computer and accessing to the setting from there.

Next thing was that DHCP was off, I tried to find some guides but find none which would work for me.
Solved that by going to routers settings and setting it on - after that I had massive connection problems and my pc said that there was 160 cables connected to my router somewhy.

Solved the new connection problems by rebooting the modem and executing some fixing programs and using tcp-optimizer ( no idea how it finally got fixed)

Then there was even more problems, weird pc`s were connected to my home-network, I removed the antenna from the router cause i thoguht they were using my wlan but they weren`t.
I tried to find some guides again with no success so I decided to find out by myself how can i kick them from my network
Solved that by going again to the setting of the router and blocking their MAC adresses - after that, the 160 cables connected happened again along with message that my ports are overloaded.

So I used that fixing method for the 160 cables like before and still pc spammed tens of ports overloaded -messages.
Solved the messages by releasing and renewing my ip (idk why i thought that would work but it did).

Next thing was that my modem could not connect to internet anymore, I spent hours thinking how to fix it since no guides were found...again.
Finally solved that by flushing dns.

After all those things, I had to do some minor fixes and set-ups and now my connection is perfect, latency 28 and wlan secured!!!

Send in your thoughts, lol :]

I prefer that the physical task should not take too long like > 30 mins cause you`d totally lose the thing you were coding - Unlike < 30 mins, you technically "Quick Refresh" your brains so you can think more clearly.

« on: February 26, 2010, 03:16 AM »

Just a phunny topic for you to answer 

My Entry:

When Im getting pissed off when coding, I use these methods to stop raging  :

- Ctrl+X the whole part of the code to notepad and after that, I start coding something very different to the same project and after cooldown, I just     paste the cutted code back and try again.

- I`ll take a long breath and stretch a little and after that, I open my Sony Vegas and start editing random vid for while.

- Seeking inspiration from YouTube.

- Etc.
