#1 - WEP can be bruteforced within minutes, especially if you sniff some traffic first. Might not be a concern where you live, but keep it in mind.-f0dder (June 19, 2008, 08:20 AM)
one of the things newegg has done for me before (don't remember if i requested or they suggested), is send me a new one before i even sent old back, by charging me and then auto-refunding when they get back the rma one.-mouser (June 24, 2008, 03:29 AM)
The charges include "infrastructural sabotage, denial of service attacks, hacking and spamming all on a commercial level".
The Pirate Bay said in a blog posting that the company now has "proof of the things we've been suspecting for a long time; the big record and movie labels are paying professional hackers, saboteurs and ddosers to destroy our trackers".

It emerged in July that MediaDefender, hired by the Motion Picture Association of America, attempted to lure file sharers to a fake download site called MiiVi.com.
The site installed spyware which checked hard drives for copyrighted material and reported back to MediaDefender.

The Pirate Bay named the following companies in its complaint:
Twentieth Century Fox, Sweden AB
EMI Music Sweden AB
Universal Music Group Sweden AB
Universal Pictures Nordic AB
Paramount Home Entertainment Sweden AB
Atari Nordic AB
Activision Nordic Filial Till Activision (UK) Ltd
Ubisoft Sweden AB
Sony BMG Music Entertainment Sweden AB
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Nordic AB
The hard drive started clicking, and the replacement that came last week was DOA.Sadly my "better" computer is out of commission again to prevent data loss.You have a lot of weird problems with that computer...-Deozaan (June 20, 2008, 04:27 PM)-wreckedcarzz (June 20, 2008, 04:30 PM)
(By the way, your "use the ramp to fly off the side" on one of those new tracks will now fail, your car will meet a nice little pool of water...I'll be the judge of that!)

I took a few pointers from deozaan and added a few of my own-p3lb0x (June 19, 2008, 04:30 AM)
I had the same issue - that's why they make flash drives, Copy & Paste functions... etc.
Just grab your entire TrackMania folder from Documents and plop it on the new PC. It should bring over all your config data and whatnot.-wreckedcarzz (June 20, 2008, 04:23 PM)
All my tracks have anti-cheat layouts within them, so don't try-wreckedcarzz (June 19, 2008, 03:42 AM)
I try to find any way to cut the time, including jumping off the track and skipping entire sections of the race. I wouldn't call it cheating; I'd call it poor track design. And you can bet I'll keep trying to exploit shortcuts I find. But at least I report them so wreckedcarzz can fix them if he wants to.
First of all, you need to disable "simple file sharing" - and then you need to grant some access rights. Make sure you have identically named (and passworded) users on both machines, that makes things easier. On some windows versions, you can access the "administrative shares", on some you can't.-f0dder (June 17, 2008, 06:13 PM)

This transaction left me on shaky footing in regards to my opinion of NewEgg's reputation. That is, until Dennis from Product Support read my negative product review and saw I was unhappy, then on his own volition forwarded my review to the people who could solve my problem.
The truth is that the shipping costs were not the real problem, as I'd already written and been told the money would be refunded. But I still had a bad aftertaste from the experience and was generally displeased.
But Dennis was on the lookout to solve my problem without even receiving an e-mail from me complaining, and wanted to fix it. That action restored my faith in NewEgg and fortified it!
Dennis deserves to be recognized and rewarded for his efforts in going the extra mile and making sure customers are not only satisfied, but that they have an "Eggcellent" Experience!
