Look at the time signiture, he was typing as the other guy was apologizing. Give the guy a break

I wonder if this will come out on the very last day.. I also wonder if it will be usefull. My real concern in all of this is the lag that I get after sliding the keyboard out. I can type a sentence before it gets half way done.
Another thing I wonder is, will this forum crash when the update is released. There might be so much activity that server bogs down.
F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 X infinity
All the noobs will be posting redundant threads,
*** DID YOU SEE THE NEW VIDEO DRIVERS ARE OUT****
**WILL THIS WORK WITH MY TILT****
****CAN THIS WORK WITH MY VODA PHONE*****
***** CAN I STILL USE TOMTOM*****
*** DOES HTC GET THE BOUNTY*****OMG VIDEO DRIVER FTW****
*****AM ARE DRIVERS OF DA VIDEO .EXE .CAB****
*** HOW DO I UPGRADE MY VIDEO DRIVERS I DONT WANT TO SEARCH AND I HATE THE WORD WIKI/STICKY*****
Then there will be people like me (forum whore) making snide comments here and there, testing things and reading everything...
Lastly there will be folks like Mr. Tater (the local Celeb) and Dutty, making things happen.. Cooking and making new apps
I can see it all now.. Thats when the servers heart gives out.. Too much joy (from the driver release) and just being overworked will kill it.

As a senior member (or "forum whore") you should know better ...

Than what? To add useless comedy to a useless sinking post. At least I added a possible chuckle or entertainment to this thread.
But your post, yes your post was the most usefull post i've read all day.

I'm afraid i might disagree... i can understand when a webserver goes down due to the workload... and i can imagine this happening to xda-developers.com.
What i can't imagine, is a webserver taking a whole machine down with it (as in.. not replying to ping). That is weird.
In any case... you Seniors... should calm down please! You're the example WE Juniors should follow

Well I don't really think the machine will go down but I do think the connection might bog down. I think it's happened before on this server about a month back. This is a pretty big site. ...
Please follow my example, search, help, have fun, be funny etc etc.

these drivers will neverrrrrrrrrr come

Have you guys ever worked with webservers? If you have multiple sites on one server. I could totally cause the machine to go down. Also, yes, it could suck up all the bandwidth and prevent connections to any sites on that machine. Let alone, improper coding Could peg out the CPU causing issues for the other sites. That is why I say dedicated or co-locate if you have a big site.

I remember ping flooding people on dialup. Create a batch file that pings over and over. Most of us don't know how well this server is built and what it's connection is. If all the tilt/kaiser/voda/etc/etc users hit at the same time, I'm sure there will be problems.
The drivers are a myth.

Yup. But webservers are just fancy computers so they are vulnerable to anything.

[APP REQUEST] Playstation Network for Windows Mobile

I know that at least one app has been developed for iPhone to work with the PSN (on PS3) so that a person can see their friends list, so why can't it been done with Windows Mobile? I don't see how it's not possible (but, I'm not a developer, either).
You CAN see whether your friends are online and their status within a browser at http://www.us.playstation.com/PSN/Home, btw.
I will keep my fingers crossed in hopes that there is something out there for this or that someone would be able to develop a simple app for it.
---------------------------------------
Here's what workshed's "myPSN" iPhone app looks like:

Any developers have their eye on this? I hope so!
Just sneaking in here to bump it up.

Yea this sounds like it would be an awesome app. If I was any good at programming I'd try it. But i'm not even sure what programs people use to make apps for mobile phones.

I know... I would use this all the time. On my way home from work last night I was just thinking "man, I wish I had an app to see if any of my friends are on PSN right now". It'd be so helpful.
But, only a dream as of now. I wish someone would jump on this. If they did I'd be sure to donate to 'em.

The only programs you need to make an app are notepad and a compiler. It sounds more simple than it is though.

Well if I knew C++ or whatever it is you use to write apps, I would [try to] do it. All I know is some web dev stuff like HTML, CSS, and such.

I was thinking about something like this the other day. I'd be very interseted in this as well.. Maybe I'll look into it a bit..

PSN for Windows Mobile... Yes Please.
Someone really needs to make an App like this.
I find it hard to believe that the iPhone got one before Windows Mobile...

BSODroid - BSOD any Vista machine on your network!

BSODroid is my first Android application. It is a proof of concept implementation of a flaw in Windows Vista, which is so far unpatched (although Microsoft are due to start distributing the patch any moment now), that allows a user to send a Blue Screen of Death to that computer over the network.
Main thread in Development section, but I just thought I'd post it here as I know that most Android users seem to check this section for Android applications, rather than the Development section!

Sure does, and some builds of Windows 7 - although lucky not the final RTM version!

Yup I am causing BSOD's on my bros Win7 laptop every 30 mins and he has no idea why its happening. I'm a sneaky bastard I know but he should have taken my advice and habe updated to the RTM.

Glad to hear you're having some fun with it! Feel free to give it a rating / comment in the Android Market, if you see fit.

Would this work if we targeted the broadcast address too?

Hahaha! I screwed my roommate while he was playing world of warcraft
I bow down to your creation sir! hahahaha

Video available! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIy_d94tDmQ

As much as i hate windows, and puzzle over the almost universal affection for it, what with linux becoming so userfriendly over the last few years i see no merit in sharing this application. It can only be used to cause trouble.

If only you didn't need the IP addresses...I could wreck havoc on my school's network with this.

You don't only need to type in an IP address. If you know the computer's host name then you can use that instead. For example, if Computer 19 in Comp Room 2 has a name of "CR2PC19" or something similar, then all you will need is to put that "CR2PC19" in the IP address field (without the quotes), and it will still work.
I should note though, try and only play with this with your friends. Crashing other people's PC for no good reason isn't cool. Especially if they've got unsaved work.
Behave.

I haven't used this program yet, but if you have to enter the IP address manually, try this:
192.168.1.1/24
Replace with whatever broadcast address you are using. It is worth a shot, I use that with nmap and all the other programs I use.....
EDIT: I looked at the screenshots. Just try to enter what i just said before and see if it works. I cant test this anyways as I use linux throughout my whole network at home.

Have almost broken 1000 downloads! (Currently at 950)
If anyone's interested, go ahead and give it a try from the market!

getting force close when trying to execute bsod.

Android sucks!

Ok everyone. I tricked you. Obviously from my posts yall know I love Android. However when you saw this title I bet you wanted to argue with me about it. Well guess what. I have a website I just launched where you can do just that. Informal Debates is a debate community and I desperately need people who want to join the site. I come here because I know you guys know your stuff (about Android at least) and I trust you guys. If you want to join, please do http://www.informaldebates.com
Oh and Toast, please forgive me for stepping out of line. I know this isn't specifically Android based but I figured this may help slow down some of the inter debating that goes on here. If you want to delete I understand don't blame you but this is my reasoning.
MOD EDIT: Moved this to off-topic for you, as it fits better in there than in one device forum

How can you be desperate for users if you just launched the site? I would study SEO and get effective keywords running through a sitemaps xml file to get crawled if you want users. After that's setup submit it into the search engines. Many of them.

Not desperate but I just want people to use the site. I have seo measures in place, though I do need to set up meta tags for the dynamic pages. I just figure this is one way to get people interested. Besides even good seo takes a month to see any results.

I find it fun to debate about anything including politics. But that's why you have the choice. And though you're technically correct the term liberal meant something completely different back then. I don't hate anyone. Except Nancy Pelosi

Themes for Vista

Man I have been looking for themes for Vista and the only ones out there I can find want you to buy a third party app for $20 to install them on my laptop.
M$ site has zero themes for Vista even though you can change your theme where you personalize windows (right click desktop>personalize>themes)
I have googled enough to know that I need to patch Vista to allow third party themes but I am leary to do that when I know nothing about the sites I would be downloading from.
Just need a nudge in the right direction. Want to change the look of Winblows. Not just colors and background. Really kind of like to find an Android type theme.
Any help would be appreciated.
Running Vista Home Premium SP2
Considering going to 7 soon though and there appear to be a lot of themes for it out there but don't know if they need the third party app. M$ has like 4 themes.

Rainmeter (I think that's what it was called) my themeing days were 5 years ago, should've asked me then. Lol

In before teh lock?

Also, you can check on one of the boards on 4chan, I think it was wallpapers. There is usually a guide on how to theme desktops. That's where I learned my stuff from, and I had some crazy themes, and you couldn't tell it was any OS you know.
And before anyone says something, 4chan is a great site for many things. Its only looked down upon because of the /b/ board. And whatever you do, don't go to /b/, trust me, you won't be normal anymore. Not saying you are normal now, but you know what I mean.

Yes people still use it. It is a solid OS. And Windows 7 has been out long enough that it is getting near stable enough to switch over to so I will be migrating soon.
I hate that about the time Micro**** finally gets an OS working then they come out with a new one. Why not wait until the **** works right before releasing it?

Finally got around to playing with Rainmeter. Steep learning curve but fun to play with.
Here is my work in progress. This is a compilation of about 5 skins. Parts from here, from there. Then tailored in colors. The multi RSS feed was a PITA.
