Windows XP Built-In Parental Control

Here’s a little tip that will let you restrict access to the Internet at preset times and in this example we’ll be imposing a ban from 9pm to 6am, Monday to Sunday. This tip is very helpfull to parents who wants to prevent their children from accessing internet during late night. But it won’t switch off the Internet if they are already online but it will stop them making a new connection during curfew time.

Go to Run on the Start menu and type ‘cmd’ (without the quotes).

This will open a DOS-type window and at the flashing prompt type the following:
net user [username] /time:M-Su,06:00-21:00Simply replace [username] with the young person’s username; days of the week are represented by the letters: M, T, W, Th, F, Sa, Su and the times should be self-explanatory so tweak as required.

More Innovative Time Animation Examples for Google Earth

The new Google Earth 4 Beta (4.0.209x) has a feature allowing objects to have time stamps.

When you have a KML GE file loaded with time stamps you will see the time slider gadget appear in the upper right of the GE window (to the left of the nav gadget). It turns out you can put time stamps on placemarks, GPS tracks, polygons, pictures, and even 3D models.

Imgburn

Met het gratis programma ImgBurn kun je vrijwel iedere cd en dvd kopieëren en branden. Het maakt namelijk een exacte kopie van het origineel.

ImgBurn kan een kopie maken van de meeste CD's en DVD's, ook als andere programma's daarin falen. Het is een programma van recente datum, dat overweg kan met alle recente cd- en dvd-spelers. Zelfs met double layer schijfjes (die aan twee kanten gebrand zijn) kan dit programma goed overweg.

Het programma is in feite een voortzetting van DVD Decrypter. Toen de uitgever stopte met dit programma vond de ontwikkelaar dit zonde van zijn werk, en zette dit als het freeware-programma ImgBurn voort.
ImgBurn wordt gezien als één van de beste (misschien wel het beste) gratis programma om DVD's en CD's te branden en te kopieeren. De mogelijkheden zijn erg groot, en ImgBurn kan overweg met heel veel image-formaten zoals iso, bin, img en nrg.

Via de verify-optie kun je achteraf laten controleren of een kopieeractie zonder problemen is verlopen. Mocht er ergens een foutje op de gebrande schijf aangetroffen worden dan geeft ImgBurn een melding.

Om een idee te krijgen van dit programma kun je de screenshots bekijken.

Meer dan, overtuigend bewijs, dat ook dit weer het werk is.
Van de politiek (in dit geval Bush) om een oorlog voor het behoud van zijn olie te kunnen starten.

Zelf de staatsomroep, ontkomt er niet meer aan om het te verzwijgen.
Dit staaltje van politiek, en de resultaten daarvan.

Je gelooft toch niet echt, dat dit mogelijk was, als het niet zo bedoeld was!
Normaal hangen er min. twee f16 binnen 10 min. Langs een vliegtuig, als er iets vreemds gebeurt, zoals afwijken van de koers.
Tijd voor de A bom, zodat er kans is, om echte intelligente levensvormen. Op deze planeet te kunnen laten ontstaan.

Het is dan ook altijd ook weer grappig om mensen te horen spreken over buiten aardse intelligentie.
Als of die op de planeet de aarde, zou bestaan!

Vista prijs

De prijzen en varianten van “Vista”zijn nu officieel bekend.

Waar de meeste de fout in zullen gaan.
Is te gaan voor een goedkopere versie, en deze waarschijnlijk later zullen aanvullen met ander software, terwijl, in de complete versie van Vista. Alles wel is ingebouwd.

En dus op termijn het voordeligst zal zijn.

The simplified iTunes DRM stripper for Windows

Earlier this week we told you about the first tool we've yet heard of that strips the FairPlay DRM from the iTunes Music Store v6 tracks you bought, called QTFairUse. Unfortunately, because this tool was still very raw and in Python, so it didn't seem entirely there yet for the rest of us;

Windows Vista (link Wiki)

Windows Vista (formerly codenamed Windows "Longhorn") has many significant new features compared to previous Microsoft Windows versions, covering almost every aspect of the operating system.
