Mudmaniac — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 13:31:58 +0800

I just for Fallout 3 from steam and it wants to log onto GFW Live for some reason.

Just asking people with GFW Live, that happen to play the Xbox 360, will it log out one if you start up the other? (assuming you use the same gamertag)

Looking for Rootkit Detector for WinXP

Mudmaniac — Thu, 28 May 2009 16:19:27 +0800

So I have a particularly stubborn rootkit that somehow wormed its way into an office computer.

I cannot reformat because its a machine used for Payroll and all that.

So, rather than try and match wits with the system while it is live, I have booted Ubuntu Linux 9.10 and install clamav, f-prot and avg linux.

Just wanted to ask if anyone knew any other more powerful scans specifically targeted at rootkits and the such. Running on Linux.

Help with VPN

Mudmaniac — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 10:27:49 +0800

I need help from someone who is familiar with windows VPN.

For a while now, I have been using VPN to connect some remote computers to my home computer. Recently my newest server computer which is Windows XP SP3 is refusing connections from my oldest computer, which was Windows XP SP1 now SP2.

Security logs on the server computer state that a L2TP cert is missing and that a certificate needs to be installed.

Also, the VPN connections from other computers to the SP3 server work, and the old client machine can connect to VPN on other machines running XP SP2.

Questions:
Does windows VPN using their "Incoming Connections" and "Connect to Remote Computer" (created using the networking wizard) connect using L2TP by default?

If so, which machine is missing the L2TP cert and how do I install the correct certificate?

Mudmaniac — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:00:18 +0800

As per discussions in http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/799963 we are executing a move of all shop threads here and in the games subforums to a brand spanking new Garage Sales sub-forum.

Credit Card to Buy xbox points?

Mudmaniac — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:17:49 +0800

I just got onto the Xbox wagon pretty late, and only just recently found that you can use a credit card to buy microsoft points.

So far, Microsoft has failed to authorize my credit card, even tho my bank called to inform me that none of Microsoft's transaction attempts were blocked.

I just want to know if anyone has had "success stories" to share and what voodoo they did that led to that result (ex: Call tech support, put in real address, used VISA card, sacrificed baby goat, etc).

Shops in the Console Couch

Mudmaniac — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:39:32 +0800

While originally I did not mind much the posting of Shop Threads in the Console Couch and its sub-forums, it has come to pass that there are more Shop Topics than actual discussions.

Originally, I felt that having the threads there would serve as a good price reference for new buyers.

Some of the moderators have been discussing this and we hope to move all the shops to Garage Sales while still maintaining easy reference and easy access for those who need it.

Several ideas have been put out, but right now we are putting it you the shopkeeps and the regulars here to put forward suggestions as how we may go about this.

Company patents the joystick port

Mudmaniac — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 13:25:43 +0800

US patent laws allow pharmaceutical companies make small mods to medication and repatent so they can continue to charge breakneck prices.
They also allow people to patent open source technologies because some programmers were naive enough to neglect patenting their own code inventions; allowing them to be sued for things they created themselves.
Now someone is suing claiming patents on a JOYSTICK PORT that they invented in 2001.

What Came First, the Violence or the Video Game?

Mudmaniac — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 16:45:01 +0800

This is by far the most incisive article I have seen about violence and video games. Not necessarily the most complete and airtight argument, but hits a key point right between the eyes. This is an excerp:

QUOTE

How about this for a crazy theory: when young people commit crimes, there is a good chance they will do so in a familiar environment, like a school. And, being young, they just might be players of video games. And being obviously violent people, they might be attracted to violent games. Cause and effect? What video game does Saddam Hussein enjoy?

E3 has been cancelled?

Mudmaniac — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 10:15:25 +0800

I know that E3 has been all that much more hype than actual gaming these past 2 to 3 years, but attending is kinda like one of those things you hope to actually do once in your life. Like taking the orient express.
