hack to find invisible Yahoo! Messenger friends

Want to surprise your Yahoo! Messenger friends who pretend to be offline using yahoo messenger's invisible feature?

Note: yahoo messenger has a stealth setting setting using which anyone online can appear to be offline using the invisible mode. it is not available in google talk though!:(

Now it is easily possible to beat that stealth mode using tools like Xeeber or VNGrabber. Just go to their site. Put your friends Yahoo id into the box and press "Check" or "Submit" button. It will clearly show whether your friend is really offline or pretending to be offline (i.e. invisible)!!

Megaupload download slot limit hack - Part 2

When you try to download from megaupload you might be getting the following error:

"All download slots assigned to your country (India) are currently in use. Please try again in a few hours or install the Megaupload Toolbar for immediate access - with the toolbar installed, there are no more slot limitations for you!"

This actually comes because there is a limit to number of users from a particular country who can download from Megaupload.

You can do three things.

1. Download and install the megaupload toolbar. (but it is not recommended as it is probably a spyware!!)
2. I have already spoken about another megaupload hack where we change the user agent and download the file
3. There is a third megaupload hack !!! It is really working great...

• Go to the google translate tool in this link:http://www.google.com/translate_t
• Then, in the "Translate a Web Page" box, put the address of your megaupload page.
• Then select "English to French" and then click translate!!
• That's it... you can download your file now after about 25 seconds !!!

This megaupload hack comes handy when you want to download a particular file, but face the megaupload download slot limitation...

Enjoy!!

For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.”

UNIX/LINUX - REVIVE YOUR OLD PC WITH LINUX

Damn Small Linux (DSL) - DSL is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented
Linux distribution. Damn Small is small enough and smart enough to do the
following things: Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution
(LiveCD); Boot from a USB pen drive; Boot from within a host operating system
(that's right, it can run *inside* Windows); Run very nicely from an IDE Compact
Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"; Transform into a Debian OS
with a traditional hard drive install; Run light enough to power a 486DX with
16MB of Ram; Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how
fast your computer can be!); Modularly grow - DSL is highly extendable without
the need to customize.

What to do if my gmail gets full ?

Update: Your Gmail is not yet full? I have a post which will help you to avoid getting gmail full.

Gmail gives a lot of storage space...but sometimes, even that 2+ GB is not sufficent for us !!!If you can follow my instructions then you can get all your email, even if its full !!

* Delete at least few emails with unnecessary big attachment. Even if you dont want to delete it then forward to any of your alternate mail boxes. Make sure that its 99% full but not 100%. It wont be a problem for you to receive any mail, here after.
(Usually you can delete the MP3 files stored in your Gmail !! Obviously you must be having those somewhere else in your ipod or your hard disk!! )

* Signup for another Gmail account. (Note: This is where all of your emails are going to come here after after some tweaks)

* Now, go to your inbox where its almost full. Then go to settings. There click on the tab link "Forwarding and POP"

* Fill it as shown below.


i.e., Forward a copy of incoming mail to [your new gmail id]
and select the option "delete Gmail copy"

* Thats it!! All your incoming emails would be forwarded to your new gmail box now.
your almost full old inbox will remain as it is !!!

[[[ I know that some of you must have already figured this out... But wait... advanced hacks are coming here in my next part !!! ]]]
