I was looking to activate my Vista - and I’m still on the black side of software yet, don’t flame me!

Easiest way to crack Vista Activation without a serial
WindowsSecrets(dot)com will do the trick!

Yes it does, and it hurts so bad. I mean (.*) is any character 0 or more times, but when will it stop? (.*?) is a lazy way of any character because I think it excludes spaces, or that’s what I remember.

I’m learning RegEx guys, and I’m doing so for the manele.me project, which will be a music search engine for a very popular and commented music genre in my country.

It’s good traffic and I’m preparing for #1 position - rawr!

» niflostancu - He’ll kick me in the nuts for trying this, but he’s the main coder of most of my projects, and now if he sees I’m even trying to learn this stuff, he’ll laugh and make me suffer, but he’s a good helper, he might give me a good tip when google is bored

This is the category for our weekly Big Fish - someone with experience in a domain such as PHP, Domain names marketplace, Website broker, Big website owner - actually everything you’d call a Mogul online.

I’m creating this because I find it very inspiring for myself and others to find about other’s successes and skills, hope you embrase the same feelings, I’ll put quite alot of passion in writing this kind of posts.

I’ve just edited the post after the new BBC press release and the whole phenomena:

GoDaddy sucks big time - the new .me hype they created proves it!

I’ve lost web-design.me and jewelry.me because of the slow processing which makes me a bit furious about it!

I have registered several domains, from my $200 budget for the .me hype and well, I’m quite happy with them.

Hopefully, I’ll get the results in max 3 months, registration is for 2yrs at least and costs 39$

.me hype advice: Search availability from Dynadot or domain.me - this way you can avoid the GoDaddy lag

Also do a search on namepros.com!

What have you grabbed?

I’m browsing DigitalPoint like I do all day, and lately stopped from posting as much because oh well, most of the questions or remarks are the same, and it gets boring.

One minute ago, I got struck by lightning: TinyURL.com is down - posted in the “Affiliate programs” forum category. Now why would anyone post that in Affiliate programs? Bingo!

Tens of tousands of users use tinyurl.com to mask their affiliate link, be it for webhosting affiliating and make a few quick bucks to the big fishes playing with clickbank for huge amounts of money.

Imagine this, TinyURL.com dead for 24 hours!

It can be easily knocked down by a DDoS, and nowdays script kiddies with botnets can run a DDoS quite easily, and I’m afraid the damages that can be made intentioally (like above) or even by a problem on TinyURL’s side, are outrageously big!

In my attempt to add a logo with TinyURL, I can’t find one, it’s just text so whoever is behind TinyURL cares less for design more for traffic, true if you’d see his side!

Anyway mister Affiliate Marketers - pray this won’t happen otherwise you are completelly doomed!

My background simply forces me to read Security related articles for whatever reason.

I do not hack anymore, but believe me I know how things operate from the top-level, the level that most refer as “Boss” level in the article I’ll show you next. The truth is, there is always a bigger boss, and in order to make profits you have to stick close and make the big one happy, because without him, you can’t go any higher, you can just stick to the same level if possible.

I still get MSN messages from people saying “Hey, I know you, you are Scorpiono from BlueHell, sup man?” - and I freak out, I was one of “those” boys, never done anything big, always mediocre but well, with great influence and with big-fishes as friends. Hard to admit the mediocre thing, I think back in the hacking days my ego wouldn’t let me to.

Here goes the article I’ve found on Digg, about cybercrime - it’s quite interesting:

Of course I’m being silly and totally non-constructive on this one, but here goes the screenshot:

Wordpress 2.6 - one day after we submitted the bug to wordpress.

Dispite the fact that I like the new features, the thing that some lazy rss bug still exists makes me disappointed, I have to overwrite rss.php everytime now.
