Windows 7’s GodMode is actually a shortcut to accessing the operating system’s various control settings.

Although its name suggests perhaps even grander capabilities, Windows enthusiasts are excited over the discovery of a hidden “GodMode” feature that lets users access all of the operating system’s control panels from within a single folder.
By creating a new folder in Windows 7 and renaming it with a certain text string at the end, users are able to have a single place to do everything from changing the look of the mouse pointer to making a new hard-drive partition.
The trick is also said to work in Windows Vista, although some are warning that although it works fine in 32-bit versions of Vista, it can cause 64-bit versions of that operating system to crash.

To enter “GodMode,” one need only create a new folder and then rename the folder to the following:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Once that is done, the folder’s icon will change to resemble a control panel and will contain dozens of control options.

Lawyers have presented their final arguments in the trial of Alan Ellis. The prosecution slammed the ex-OiNK admin, saying that the site was set up with dishonest and profiteering intentions right from the start. The defense tore into IFPI and countered by calling Ellis an innovator with talents to be nurtured. Today the jury returned a unanimous verdict of not guilty, and Ellis walked free.

Check out this link and learn what is the best use for browser popups.. a nice game of Pong!

Play pong with your browser and remember to turn popups on

So a thing I was trying to do for quite some time now but using php and rexep, which I hate and don’t understand at all, was trying to change the location (href) of all the external links on my page to something else so I could easily track the clicks. Or maybe display some kind of toolbar on top of the page, something like I guess digg does.

Today I remembered that MooTools is my friend and I could use it to accomplish this.. and after 2 minutes and 5 lines of code I did it!

I’m guessing you already have MooTools up and running. Let’s take a look at the code.

$$('a').each(function(link) {
    if(link.hostname != window.location.host) {
        var loc = link.get('href');
        link.set('href', './out.php?' + loc);
    }
});

So we create an array of all the links on our site and check if their hostname is the same as the hostname of our site. If it is different we read the value of href (the link) and change it to our php script that is going to track the click (or whatever) and add the previous link, so it knows where it should be redirected.

This is it! Easy peasy!

Oh and have a happy December!

Ninjas got LEGIT video showing he’s really alive.

Keep the poor man resting in peace, damn.

So, after getting a Google Wave dev preview account, I also got a Google Voice invitation, which I quickly used and got myself a nice Google number: +1 (909) 20 NASAL (+1 (909) 206-2725).

Since I’m not American and Voice is only open to US citizen, I had some fun managing to get one, since they are only giving away US numbers for now and to create an account I had to add at least one phone number and it had to be US because the number has to be verified in order to have your account created.

So how did I do it? Let’s see.

1. Get Hotspot Shield: this is a free VPN connection that will give you an US ip address and make Google Think you are an US resident. You could use a proxy but I didn’t manage to find a working one so VPN was my next choice.

2. Get a free US phone number: Sipgate is your solution. In this case I signed up at sipgate.com instead of choosing sipgate.co.uk or any other variant, since you get a local phone number and I needed an american one. So sign up there, it’s free. You get to choose your own phone number. Do it, configure your cellphone and you’re done. If you get Registration failed, try this out.

3. Activate your Google Voice account by adding your new Sipgate phone number and verifying it.

That’s it, you’re done!
