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.

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.

wow.
You actually went there and compared windows mobile to android hahahah
I am being forced into using the htc hd2 for work.
And windows mobile have to be the biggest piece of **** i have ever had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with.
The htc hd2 is such an amazing piece of hardware but windows mobile completely kills it.
Why would you even think about doing something like this?
And what software are you talking about? wm more the android?
I cant even find a bank of america, pandora, last.fm simple apps like that for windows mobile.
You are not worthy of the droid.

can a mod please close this thread? it's an obvious troll

hm, who is the troll?
The person who just asked a simple question, or the people who have to run to bash him? Don't think you hard, you might hurt yourself
A dual boot would be kind of cool. The one thing that bothers me the most about android is not having native windows office support. It would be nice to get a real MS office program on my nexus.
I hate the viewers and I'm not really sure I want to try an editing software for $15 which probably is crappy.

This thread fails.
... to entertain...
... to be relevant...
... to be humorous...
... to be likely...
... to be worthwhile...

I think this may have its own advantages actually...although I did move from the HD2 to the N1 almost solely for Android...it would be nice to be able to use Windows Phone 7 though (thinking that the games for it would be nice, the preview is nice after all)....

Honestly, if someone made some kind of emulation for it, I'd do it just because "my phone can handle it" etc.

I'm sorry, you missed April Fools Day about 29 days ago! FAIL!

Wow I guess android fan boys are just as rabid as the apple ones. Who knew? I know that it goes against logic that someone may actually like windows mobile..

I came from WM to android because its so boring!...
I luv android and its apps!

Yes, steady guys!

If you wanted WMo 6.5 then why did u waste your money on N1... You could have got that for a lot cheaper....

bootdroid - Let's end it here shall we

When I was looking for x86 stuff today, I came across this "project" called bootdroid that is supposedly a guy coming along in his port of iOS to Android (blog of updates is here: http://bootdroid.blogspot.com/ code page here: http://code.google.com/p/bootdroid/).
It amazes me how people think that, with all the issues we have with hardware acceleration, audio, and camera drivers with every OS update that SWITCHING to a completely different system wouldn't be out of the question.
Yes, for people still questioning, it IS fake. You're NEVER going to be able to run iOS natively on an Android device period. Likewise, you can barely get Android to recognize the iOS hardware.
A few things to note:
1) He's spamming it all over the place for SEO reasons,
2) The iPhone's/iPads interface images are static. They don't just "fit" into any given screen size, a reason why we can't have DPI changers like Android has. You'd have to totally recode the system to do what he's trying to make you THINK he's doing. He says he's using the iPad version... Have you ever tried using iPad apps on the iPhone? Well, it shows you only 4/100th of the screen. Yes, I have tried, and so have a few others.
3) He used old web app sample code that comes with Xcode. It's not even iOS5:
iOS4:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
iOS 5:
His:
Specifically, you can tell by the edges. His Push Notifications are also thick:
So move along now, nothing to see here.

Ga niet zomaar haten...
Seriously he is already been working on this project since ios 4 was still the latest and greatest. I don't know if you are an iPhone user or on the Android side but this is real. He has been providing very true ans interesting topics on his blogspot and I would like to see your face when an alpha build comes out.
People stop hating on this project please. Maybe this is fake but then again why would he been keeping the site alive for that long ? Do you think that someone that is wanting to say brick our devices is going to say don't promote this to much because the maker of thz port could be sued by Apple for the copyright things.
This is probably the last thing that Apple is waiting on, people using their (good and smooth with great exclusive apps) software on hardware that is better and faster and that fill better the needs of certain people. ( I don't like the iPhone's sound quality, display size, aspect ratio, glass that breaks rapidly...).

I have been an iPhone user since they came out. I also have Android devices. There are pros and cons with both.
I've managed to snag the GUI images that are available with the iOS 5 firmware and optimized it for the Android device I'm working with. I successfully built a Test App (GUI) in Xcode and added it as a system application to the iOS firmware currently running on my Android device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Again... That is NOT iOS5. I know how it looks like, and I know how Xcode looks and works.
Another thing, since iOS is basically OS X, what does this mean for driver support? There isn't a driver for any internal Android hardware that also works in OS X.
Lastly, just because it's better hardware doesn't mean the software will work better/faster on it. Being that Androids are mostly made out of plastic will most likely result in heating issues. The new iPad can hardly handle it.

Hunch
Well I noticed on the Bootdroid blog, that someone has released code for Bootdroid.
HTML:
https://github.com/Peter42/BootDroid
However, what we do not know is what the files actually do. I have tested it myself and... well... they do nothing that I can actually tell apart from run an app, which itself, does nothing? :S
However both the software and the app seems to be virus free, according to ESET and Lookout.
Is there any developers wishing to strip down these files, and have a little look inside to see what they do?
Thanks,
TyphoonScotland

The only big file there is U2WIN.exe which is 380MB. I won't download it and try it myself, so i don't know what that is or does.
But i find it strange that there's no videos of this. I would think that a lot of people would try this and post some videos on YouTube. But nope, no videos whatsoever.

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.
But it will evolve.
