Living Room / Re: When Traffic Shaping Results in ISP Changing
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 05, 2008, 06:12 PM »
Well.. I have the exact same problem (I'm on tvcabo).
Actually, I even made a project for school to discover a way to solve traffic shapping.

My conclusions were:
Tor is a terribly bad idea.
Encryption might help, but usually doesn't
A proxy solves the problem perfectly, as long as they don't use more complex methods of detection (tvcabo doesn't).
An good proxy (that disguises p2p traffic as http) solves it for advanced detection, but might still be detectable if the size/frequency of packets is considered.

To be honest, I did it out of fun and curiosity, as I don't download that much. But I can tell you that if you get somewhere to proxy to, you'll probably get the max speed your connection allows you to ;)


ps: also interesting is that my ISP, when asked about this, told me that bittorrent is an "illegal protocol", and thus they have the legal right to block it  ;D ;D

ProcessTamer / Re: How do you keep the auto-hide taskbar from showing up?
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 05, 2008, 06:00 PM »
I'm not sure what you mean, is this related to ProcessTamer?
Because there's a thread somewhere on DC on a better Windows Taskbar handling, to avoid it popping up when some window flashes, IIRC.

« Last post by jgpaiva on September 05, 2008, 01:59 PM »
Granted one is custom built & both are custom loaded...but that only goes to prove that half of the "Bad Press" that Vista has gotten is due to idiots like HP that love to gadget & garbage up a machine to "Add Value" (BS...) to a machine before foisting it on a poor (unsuspecting) consumer.
-Stoic Joker (September 05, 2008, 01:49 PM)
Agreed. My dad bought a hp tablet which came loaded with the usual crap. But this specific crap was so anoying that when it tried to save the addresses entered in IE7 (I REALLY can't understand why they'd want to do that), UAC would come up saying that the hp software was performing a dangerous action, etc etc.

« Last post by jgpaiva on September 05, 2008, 12:34 PM »
Honestly, I don't think that blog post acomplishes anything other providing more pointers (and thus contributing) to the mentioned vista FUD. (but I guess that was the whole idea, right?)
Also, anyone who has as moto "Microsoft can go format themselves" obviously doesn't really have an idea of how the world works.

Honestly, I've been running Vista64 for quite some time now, and I haven't had any of the multiple problems I've seen reported everywhere with XP64.
There's no doubt that it takes more resources, but my computer also is the best computer I've owned, and I really like the few new stuff it gets me (including the oh-so-contested aero interface).

I don't regret moving to Vista64, and I sure recommend it to anyone with over 3GB of ram.

Not exactly, edvard.. I know Opera does that (the download starts just as you press the link, even before you've told it where to save/run), and i'm pretty sure there must be an addon for firefox to have it doing the same.

What you could do was use nlite to cleate an unnatended install for the spanish windows. This'd also make it easier to deploy, configure once and you're done ;)

From what I've heard, sony produces the batteries for the macs, which would explain why there's some trouble with ibooks catching fire.

DC Gamer Club / Re: Steam, and the gift of game...
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 05, 2008, 04:52 AM »
The only real problem I can see with STEAM is that you need to have an internet connection to use it. Feels a bit silly for single-player games. But you can always choose "go offline" from the STEAM menu, which allows you to play your single-player (and LAN?) games without being connected to the net.
-f0dder (September 05, 2008, 12:57 AM)
Also, that same method allows you to play something with your friends in LAN, without everyone actually owning the game ;)

Hi Spyda!

Well, if you just want to snap to 3/4, that's really simple.
Here's a simple grid to do that:

[Select]
[Groups]
  NumberOfGroups = 2

[1]
  TriggerTop    = [Monitor1Top]
  TriggerRight  = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  * 3/4
  TriggerBottom = [Monitor1Bottom]
  TriggerLeft   = [Monitor1Left]
  GridTop       = [Monitor1Top]
  GridRight     = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  * 3/4
  GridBottom    = [Monitor1Bottom]
  GridLeft      = [Monitor1Left]

[2]

  TriggerTop    = [Monitor1Top]
  TriggerRight  = [Monitor1Right]
  TriggerBottom = [Monitor1Bottom]
  TriggerLeft   = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  * 1/4
  GridTop       = [Monitor1Top]
  GridRight     = [Monitor1Right]
  GridBottom    = [Monitor1Bottom]
  GridLeft      = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  * 1/4

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Folder name column in Windows Explorer
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 04, 2008, 06:46 PM »
Tom: when on the normal mode, it isn't important to display the current path.
The only situation where XY shows the path (well, at least that I know of :P), is in search mode.
Search for something, and that column should be the last one.

I'm not sure, but I think adding columns to windows explorer isn't exactly a trivial task.
In cae you can't find another solution, XYplorer does this, the search results also display the path of the file.

Actually, it does work, but it interfeers with the changing of tabs, because they don't respect the standard look of windows.
Unfortunatelly, there's not much that can be done :(

I think Steam was the best thing that happened in the gaming world.
I had never bought genuine games prior to using steam, and since I use it, I've already bought 3! (which, coincidentally, were the only games I played in that time, except for the free trackmania nations).
It's easy to buy, it's usually way cheaper than in stores (at least around here), and it's MUCH more confortable than having to carry and save the CDs and cases.
As a person who tends to loose "real world" stuff, I think this is the perfect solution to keep everything at hand ;)
