Living Room / Re: Malware blocked at DC !?!

It means there is no attack or malware hosted on or coming from DonationCoder.
It could mean that you just happened to see these alerts while you happened to be browsing the DonatinCoder forum.

--

Another thing to check is if this alert pops up when you view certain posts on the forum -- it's always possible that someone has a photo in their signature or in a post that is linking to another site and that that site is pinging your machine when you load it.

'I'm not clear what you are saying...' you're not hosting if it's a photo or link here?

I will keep track of where i see it and what tabs are open.

Some user avatars are hosted on external servers for which DC has no control over (Like mine...it is hosted on Imgur.com and NOT DC).  Linking & Hotlinking are NOT the same as Hosting.

After checking the IP addresses above, I came up with the following:

80.82.78.166 - Takes to a website which just has the text "Oh hi there" - The IP is hosted by the ISP: Ecatel LTD

89.248.168.46 - Resolves to offshore20.tronichost.com - Also hosted by the ISP: Ecatel LTD - However, when checking the website for content, the resolution link takes to a "This website may be for sale" and the IP takes you to an Apache2 Test Page.

Neither of these IPs are connected or affiliated with DonationCoder.com AT ALL.

Thank you for your very clear explaination.  It was my understanding that hosting meant providing links.

Some user avatars are hosted on external servers for which DC has no control over (Like mine...it is hosted on Imgur.com and NOT DC).

So if the Imgur servers go down... your Batsman disappears?  Bummer.  But i understand what you're saying.

Neither of these IPs are connected or affiliated with DonationCoder.com AT ALL.

I didn't think these IP's were affiliated with DC.  More like a member trying to disrupt things and make it unfriendly here.

This past Wednesday was the first time MBAM blocked anything here.  What changed? What's different? The only thing i could think of was DC membership.

Living Room / Graphics Designers - DOCO NEEDS YOU!
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 25, 2014, 03:22 PM »
  • Are you a Graphics Designer? 
  • Are you willing to spend an hour or so helping out DoCo?

If you can answer yes to both of the above questions...then I have a follow-up question for you...WHY have you not been in the NANY 2015 section yet?!  ;D

Mouser has been asking around for somebody to create this years NANY 2015 Mug Designs!!!!!

Other things we could use to make this year's event special:

We have a standard mug design we tend to use, but it's always great if we can get an optional alternative design or two.   If you have artistic talents, we'd love to have some more mug designs that look different.  The resolution should be 1662x600.


Here's the standard design to show you the size and basic information on the mugs: (see attachment in previous post)Some alternatives: (see attachment in previous post) (see attachment in previous post)
Ideally, any mug design should have a prominent role for Cody, our bird/duck mascot.
-mouser (October 08, 2014, 05:07 AM)



I have posted this here in case any potential kind graphics person happened to have missed this call for help in the NANY forum section.  :D

Living Room / Google Takes a Flyer on Magic Leap
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 25, 2014, 02:54 PM »


Magic Leap on Tuesday announced that Google was the lead investor in a US$542 million round of Series B funding for its secret endeavors.

Also participating in the financing round were Qualcomm, Legendary Entertainment, KKR, Vulcan Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Andreessen Horowitz and Obvious Ventures.

Sundar Pichai, senior vice president of Android, Chrome and apps at Google, will join Magic Leap's board of directors. Paul Jacobs, executive chairman at Qualcomm, and Don Harrison, vice president of corporate development at Google, will join the board as observers.

"Magic Leap is going beyond the current perception of mobile computing, augmented reality and virtual reality," said Rony Abovitz, Magic Leap's president, CEO and founder. "We will revolutionize the way people communicate, purchase, learn, share and play."

Magic Leap is valued at just under $2 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Non-Windows Software / Calculate Linux Provides Consistency by Design
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 25, 2014, 02:50 PM »
Calculate Linux has a rather interesting strategy for desktop environments. It is characterized by two flavors with the same look and feel. That does not mean that the inherent functionality of the KDE and Xfce desktops are compromised. Rather, the Calculate Linux developers did what you seldom see within a Linux distribution with more than one desktop option: They unified the design.

Living Room / Online harassment affects 40% of US adults, report says
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 25, 2014, 02:44 PM »


Some 40% of adults have experienced online harassment, according to a study from the US Pew Research Internet Project.

From name-calling to other threats, harassment is a common part of online life for many, its research suggests.

While men are more likely to experience name-calling, women are more vulnerable to sexual harassment and stalking.

The report comes amid a rise in social media abuse aimed at women in the games industry.

The report found that 73% of American adult internet users had witnessed online harassment - from being called offensive names to witnessing someone being stalked online.

It found that young adults - aged 18-29 - are most likely to experience online harassment, with 65% of internet users in this age group claiming to have fallen victim.

The vast majority of harassment took place on social networking sites, according to the research.

Living Room / The Eagle has landed: Nasa launches free sound library
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 25, 2014, 02:43 PM »


Historical audio from Nasa missions has been uploaded to a free sound library.

More than 60 samples have been added to the agency's new dedicated Soundcloud account, but listeners are unable to leave comments underneath the files.

Astronaut communications, including "Houston, we've had a problem" and "the Eagle has landed", can be heard - as well as some more abstract noises made by working spacecraft and debris.

In space itself, sound is unable to travel as there is no air.

Living Room / Is technology killing old loved books?
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 25, 2014, 02:41 PM »
In this age of electronic books, are we losing the magic of passing on a well-thumbed paperback, perhaps with a name scribbled inside - or even notes in the margin that tell a story of where a book has been? Or can the two happily co-exist, giving us the best of both worlds?
Josh Spero, author of Second Hand Stories and editor of Spear's Magazine, and the author Erica Wagner, a former literary editor at the Times newspaper, mulled over the question of new tech and old books.

Living Room / Watch A Hornet Be Cooked Alive By Bees
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 25, 2014, 02:38 PM »


A single Japanese giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia japonica) can kill forty honeybees a minute. A small group of them can decimate an entire bee colony. The hornet’s scissor-like teeth can wreak havoc on their prey so swiftly that Japanese honeybees had to adapt to survive.

Instead of stinging the intruder, the honeybees swarm the hornet and begin vibrating, raising their collective temperature to 117 degrees Fahrenheit (47.2 ºC) and turning their crush of bodies into somewhat of a convection oven. While the honeybees can tolerate temperatures of 118 degrees Fahrenheit (47.8 ºC), Japanese giant hornets can only tolerate 115 degrees (46.1 ºC).

Watch the honeybees save their colony in a three minute video below.

Living Room / 57-Year-Old Man Skydives From Stratosphere, Breaking Baumgartner’s Record
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 25, 2014, 02:33 PM »


Felix Baumgartner shattered the world record for highest-altitude jump when he famously plummeted 128,100 feet to Earth on October 9, 2012. Sponsored by Red Bull, the event was an international phenomenon as 12.6 million people watched the event live. In the early morning hours of October 24, 57-year-old computer scientist Alan Eustace quietly broke that record by completing a jump from over a mile higher at 135,890 feet.

He had partnered with Paragon Space Development Corporation and was testing one of their life support spacesuits; the event was not done merely for publicity. The suit protected Eustace from the drastic temperature changes as he ascended and then descended through the atmosphere, and provided pure oxygen for him to breathe.

Let’s Begin…
It isn't easy holding complex sentences together (just ask a conjunction or a subordinate), but the clever little comma can help lighten the load. But how to tell when help is really needed? Terisa Folaron offers some tricks of the comma trade.

General Software Discussion / Re: Comprehensive List of Where to Report Anti-virus Company False Positives
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 25, 2014, 01:41 PM »
Heh - I take the list at face value, none of the A/V companies are interested in false positives, it might compromise their ranking scores!  Those first three probably just send reports to the bit bucket anyway  :P

Also, fwiw, you don't mention VMware vCenter Protect (which used to be Shavlik until they were bought out... and a sorry story that was). They license the Vipre engine, or at least used to, for the product.
-x16wda (October 24, 2014, 06:42 PM)

I will add that one to the list once I make some more edits.

FWIW, I e-mailed Dr Web about a False Positive flag on my software (SlackyApp) and within a couple of hours, got this back from them:

Dear Stephen,

Your request has been analyzed. It was a false alarm. The error was fixed.

Thank you for the cooperation.

I can confirm this one - Recently tried to connect to a BTOpenZone WiFi network the other day, not even an hour after disconnecting, and it had already forgotten me and wanted my e-mail address to login again - Not really much of an issue to be honest.

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 25, 2014, 12:46 PM »
This is status quo for PC gaming. Remember when Crysis came out? A top-of-the-line, brand new PC couldn't run it on the highest settings. AC:U will likely be used for benchmarking purposes for the next few years until even CPU-embedded graphics can run it and then the next bigger and better thing will replace it.
-Deozaan (October 24, 2014, 10:52 PM)

This.

See, that's the thing...Crysis actually NEEDED those specs in order to run on max settings...people from all over are reporting that this game actually completely locks out at 30FPS even on some incredible SLI setups using some really top spec graphics cards.
-Stephen66515 (October 24, 2014, 11:28 PM)

How can we say that AC:U doesn't before it comes out?  And those minimum specs are nowhere near a 2k machine.  Even the VC on the higher range spec isn't terribly expensive.

Also, the title of this thread sort of reminds me of linkbait.  :huh:
-wraith808 (October 25, 2014, 09:18 AM)

No intention of a Linkbait/Clickbait style title...I hate Clickbait and have unfollowed about 50 different people/pages on Facebook this week alone just for doing crap like "OMG MAN GOES OUTSIDE, YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED NEXT" - "FAMILY BUYS SON A PUPPY, AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS UNBELIEVABLE - THEY NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN"

I mean...I can understand the need for x64, that much I won't dispute...that's common standard these days for the higher tier games (Due to the obvious limitations within x86 in terms of memory) so...yeah, can't argue with that...but the rest of it...why lock out at 30FPS?  Seems a bit dodgy to me.

Personally, I always saw Assassin's Creed as one of those titles they can't sell so give away with every new console just so people might play it.  I have NEVER bought a copy of it, but always ended up having a few copies in my collection that never got opened (Usually got sold or traded in) because it happened to be packaged in with a console...or given to me by somebody else who bought a console and also didn't want the game in their collection.

Further to the above, consider these 2 images:


1Rupeem.png


They are both exactly the same image, but have 1 vital difference between the 2.

The top one is Hotlinked from Imgur.com where the second one has been uploaded to, and now hosted directly by DonationCoder.com

I did this by doing the following:

[img]http://i.imgur.com/1Rupeem.png[/img]
[ attach=1 ]

Things within the [img][/img] tags are Hotlinked - Meaning that the forum simply pulls the image from the website where it is hosted, and shown here.

Things that are linked with the [attach=#] tag are hosted by DonationCoder.com itself - This is shown by having to use the "Attach" file option when making a post, which uploads the file directly to the DonationCoder.com server in order to show the file here.
