For sure the browsing part works but there's a city library (south of me) that censors quite heavily: there's a bunch of legitimate sites that are "verboten" to visit (for example, TorrentFreak which is a news site) -- yeah, ironic, it's a library . They also block apps such as instant mes...

Hopefully, this might help till something better comes along (like ODDNS had promised)

The Pirate Bay Launches Free VPN

The Pirate Bay team is going to be making the MAFIAA angry, with the launch of a new ad-supported VPN service. PrivitizeVPN is available for free from The Pirate Bay. Instead of earning revenue through subscription as iPredator does, PrivitizeVPN comes packaged to install the Babylon Search Toolbar ...

Yeah, how disappointing. That would've been awesome, I bet. But like you said, it's gone -- and nothing on Google about its disappearance either.

I should have proper packages ready by final ... Thanks for bringing my attention to the problem

Hello guys. Sorry to say so but your .7z file containing SetupS source code was wrongly generated; no available content in there, not even the copy at Google Code :( Can you please update ? You sure? I just checked and all was okay for me (both the SourceCode package and the DevelopersPack). Though...

Well, I don't know what's up with ssWPI these days and there's been times I've needed a working Windows Post Installer. Also, communications about its ongoing progress or status have been all but non-existent ... ... so I've decided to re -re-purpose ssGooey once again. This time the goal will be to...

-- Reprinted from " Old Soldiers Never Die " by Michael Desmond, Editor-in-Chief of MSDN Magazine: General Douglas MacArthur famously said during his 1951 farewell address to the U.S. Congress: “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” A half-century later, MacArthur’s famous statemen...

Microsoft recently extended "It Just Works" compatibility for Visual Basic 6 applications through the full lifetime of Windows 8, so VB6 apps will have at least 24 years of supported lifetime (VB6 shipped in '98). So why has VB6, "the un-killable cockroach" in the Windows ecosyst...

  Fixed a bug by putting in an iteration limit so that it stops if it can't sort the FAT drive for whatever reason.

Can you think of any circumstances under which it would be better to use the original _FileListToArray, either because of noticeable speed differences or because of a difference of actions? If so, then I guess you might could test for those circumstances and call _FileListToArray from within your n...

and have heard a RC5 is planned for SetupS soon. Freeze also mentioned that much of SetupS v9's functionality is included but disabled in SetupS v8. But only with RC5. The v9 easter-eggs are absent from RC4. but no point in worrying about this until the release in June, hopefully they will have add...

It's no diff than the movie/music industry whining that evil pirates are taking their business. If any of these idiots would give the market what they are asking for at reasonable prices profits would soar. LOL. This is a little off-topic but relevant: http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-piracy-boos...

I still can't figure it out. Too much sun today out on the bicycles? LOL

You are correct. And don't forget the business model is also at fault here. Each year Microsoft is required to show (to the shareholders mainly) an even bigger profit than the previous year -- no matter how small that margin actually is, it just needs to be bigger. And that's tough. I mean, where do...

Adobe has posted a security bulletin for Photoshop CS5 for Windows and OSX. It seems there is a critical security hole that will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Adobe's fix? You need to pay to upgrade to Photoshop CS6. For users...

And please let us know if it is/was indeed SetupS or one of the ssApps/ppApps causing the problems -- to help us correct any issues we might be causing inadvertently.

Unfortunately, I won't be much help either. When I start seeing those I know it's time for a standard R&R (Remove and Reinstall) of the entire OS -- 99% of the time that should fix that for you. That way you eliminate the software (OS in this case) as being the culprit. If you get errors and cra...

Thanks. The nice thing about it will be that now I only need to update/maintain a single source rather than in multiple locations.

It also means I can do something like this instead:

• Deployment Package Specifications

I accept that. And what you say is very reasonable and makes perfect sense to me... if we were offering warez . But we're not. All these apps you and I have put up (yours being the majority) they all have other perfectly legit means of being obtained. My examples were of some places that offer those...

Okay, so I've pondered this proposal of closing off this app-repository to registered users-only... and for now, I'm leaning towards keeping it open. At least until something happens that forces us to close it off for reasons I failed to consider. These apps are already available for free in one cap...

I think we should encapsulate the main apps list in the Hide Content code also, as there would be no good reason for non-registered humans and bots to have open sailing to those links. Maybe. But if we were going to do that then we can easily set the permissions on the forum sections themselves ins...

%LastOSResources% for "%WinDir%\LastOS" (ie, "C:\Windows\LastOS"). I assume that this will be changed to %ssTekResources% for "%WinDir%\ssTek" (ie, "C:\Windows\ssTek"), or at least have that added? Yeah, I copied and pasted that from an older file (before I a...
