Dell Mini 9 BIOS But this tool requires an USB floppy drive, as seen on Mydellmini forum. Being this hardware quite hem... legacy+unuseful I managed to create a USB pen drive image that will restore the netbook with the very latest A05 BIOS. * Download the USB pen drive image here and unzip the file. * Copy the A05.DD image to your usb pen, using dd on linux: dd if=A05.DD of=/dev/sdX replace X with your correct device, of course. Haven't tried, but this may work also with dd for windows. Then start the recovery procedure: * Remove battery and power adapter; * Confirm USB pen drive is plugged in; * While pressing and holding Fn & B keys, attach power adapter plug. The power lights will momentarily blink and your Mini will beep once; * Continue to hold Fn & B and press the power button; * Release the keys once USB pen drive begins reading (your pendrive led starts blinking); * Your Mini will beep continually until the flash is completed and reboots. Note: the display is not available during this process. Mar 23 How to enable Syslog on iPhone fw 2.x for debugging news 2 Comments >> You can no longer debug output in 2.0 by launching your app from SSH. So how do you get those NSLog outputs? The answer is to enable the syslog and then you can use tail -f /var/log/syslog to see all the output. Here is how: 1. edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist 2. find the <string>/usr/.../syslogd</string> line 3. below that add: <string>-bsd_out</string> <string>1</string> 4. Type: echo '*.* /var/log/syslog' > /etc/syslog.conf (open /etc/syslog.conf and make sure that you have *.* /var/log/syslog without any extra characters) 5. Type: launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist 6. Type: launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist And now you have an awesome /var/log/syslog that contains NSLogs (and I think stderr) from your application. Remember, to see the output open SSH and type: tail -f /var/log/syslog to see all the output. Source of these info: TheBigBoss website, and originally from Saurik. Here's an output example... frack!

What's next? Make your choice: fill the form with the magic numbers or try to bypass this security mechanism! Classic wireless hot spots commonly allow two protocols: ICMP and DNS (UDP/53). ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used to report errors and warning to the client and DNS is mandatory to resolve hostnames. While ICMP can also be used as a transport protocol (see PTunnel), firewalls may block unusual ICMP packets (ex: suspicious big packets). On the other side, there are often less restriction regarding DNS traffic. In the following tutorial, we will use the tool dns2tcp written by two guys working for HSC, a French security company.

Windows Vista SP1 (virtualized in Parallels) [IMG] http://dromaeo.com/?id=27872,28106,27880,27933,28169 Google Chrome pwns all... it's the 1st column, wrongly reported by dromaeo test as "Safari/525.13". Firefox 3.01 is four time slower, and Opera 9.51 and Safari 3.2.1 for Windows (reported as "Safari/525.21") are closer. And oh, IE simply crashed running the page ;( Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard [IMG] http://dromaeo.com/?id=28303,28286,28266,28228,28392,28439 Firefox 3.0.1 wins, but Safari 3.2 made very similar points... Opera is a bit slower than in the windows counterpart... (Good `ol) SeaMonkey and Shiira (reported as "Firefox/2.0.0.16'') are four times slower... Linux Kubuntu64-current: [IMG] http://dromaeo.com/?id=28540,28522,29158,29213,29286 Galeon (linux only) is the fastest browser after Chrome, but Firefox 3.0.1 is very near. Konqueror 4.1.1 and Opera 9.52 make decent figures, SeaMonker as usual is the last ;D Now some inter-OS speed comparison: Firefox 3.0.1: http://dromaeo.com/?id=28106,28286,28540 measured exactly the same speed on ALL os! Opera 9.52: http://dromaeo.com/?id=28169,29286,28303 is a lot faster on Windows than Linux or OS X. Seamonkey 1.1.11: http://dromaeo.com/?id=27933,28439,29213 is slightly faster on Linux than Windows or OS X. EDIT: Google Chrome vs all memory usage screenshot here.

Jun 08 Plug & Pray Mac OSX vs Windows XP news 3 Comments >> While surfing MacTalk forums, I saw a thread with pictures that I find both funny and true. [IMG] I believe these are the installation steps for a particular DJ equipment. Now I know why there are so many DJs around using MacBooks. Jun 07 Read HFS+ volumes on Windows and .DMG files on Linux news No Comments >> I have heard about MacDrive, which is probably one of the prettiest and most well-integrated solutions to read and write HFS+ partitions under Windows, but is $40 to $50. I searched around a bit, and I eventually found HFSExplorer, an opensource (relased under GPL, v3) Java app designed to let you browse the contents of any HFS+ drives and partitions installed in your system. In addition to viewing the contents of said partitions, you can even extract files to any Windows writable disk. This is almost exactly what I was looking for, although there isn't any HFS+ write support. Linux users should not need HFSExplorer for browsing file systems on devices (have you already modprobed hfsplus?), but you might find this app useful for opening .dmg files.
